Okay so the military has this whole respect thing...I get it.
Well on the facebook page today the (wonderful) volunteers who run the page hit on the fact that over doing the PDA on family day is not necesscary and people should not do it and yada yada...
No jumping the bones on Family Day...Check.
BUT, okay maybe this is my whole problem with authority or something...but who is to tell me I can't kiss my fiance whenever I please?
Like I said I get the whole not jumping their bones and being respectable and such, because I am a classy lady and I do know how to act...but really?
The whole issue of the military gets my blood boiling because...it seems we are fighting for a freedom that none of the soldiers have. For example...Daniel cannot drive while he is on leave from basic...some rule they have about soliders in training. I understand they signed a contract and they basically signed their lives over to the military in doing so...but wouldn't you think the freedoms we they are fighting for they would get a taste of? All of it just seems a little ridiculous sometimes...thats all.
I know a lot of people will probably will disagree with this saying they should have the strictest of training and they should have no privileges...they are our military. Well take a look at it from a family members perspective...it is not only the solider that is giving up daily freedoms it is their family as well.
DO NOT get me wrong, I am more than appreciative for the people that serve in the military...I just sometimes think some of the things they do are kind of on the ridiculous side. That is all I am trying to say.
ALSO maybe this is just a venting tool for me...and I love it FYI. The facebook page that represents Daniels batallion is great...I mean amazing for family members. BUT the mothers that are on that page posting sometimes 2-3 times a day commenting on EVERYONES comments or posts is ANNOYING! And I would delete you off my feed but I can't do that because I don't want to delete the facebook page so I don't miss out on important information! You need to get a life, I wish I had that much time to post on a facebook page...but unfortunately I work...and have a life! I am not saying you shouldn't support your son/daughter in everything they do but let them breathe a bit! If I post a one sentence comment, I don't need you to post a whole book as a reply. My gosh. Like I said...a little ridiculous.
All of the other family members are just as excited as you to get their son,daughter,fiance,wife, husband home...but lay off for a couple days.
I am sure this whole venting is my problem with authority and with anyone telling me what I can and can't do...not a fan of it...never have been. Ask my parents. BUT I do know when to be respectful and I will be on family day...never said I wasn't, but doesn't mean I totally agree with it. :) I know the day of family day and graduation this won't even matter but right now, it gets under the skin...
