Hubby made the Direct Commission board!! But haters are already letting us know how they feel...

D made the Direct Commission board and we are really happy for him. I had a promise that I wouldn’t update my facebook status until he passed the board and last night I was able to finally update it. Many friends congratulated him and showed their happiness for us, many of these friends were Military families of course but among those who were happy for us, an ex-neighbor stuck up like a sore thumb. She said that not everything that shines is gold…her story is complex but to make it really short: Her hubby was in the Green to Gold program and after he graduated from nursing school, didn’t pass the NCLEX the two times he tried.


He’s really smart but the problem is that he has to be Mr. Mom, even when he’s studying for something like the NCLEX! He had to take the kids to school and daycare (although his wife didn’t work), pick them up, cook, study with them, clean the house, walk the dogs, and attend to an adult with issues. All this on top of having to study and do good in his job + his classes. Because of this he had to hold back his plans and remain a SSG until he can re-submit his packet as a soldier holding a bachelor and not as an RN. She once told me that once she became an Army Officer wife she wasn’t going to be able to talk to me anymore (she didn’t know dh had submitted his Direct Commission packet then nor she understood the confraternization rules apply to those holding the rank) and usually compared material stuff I have with hers.

Anyways, we knew how she rolls all along it’s just surprising how she can’t even pretend to be happy for us. It is better though, because I don’t like hypocrites but it is still shocking to see how much she can hate us for something that has nothing to do with her particular case.

But as Carla and her husband say: “Ping, ping…that’s the sound of your hate bouncing off our love” or something like that! LOL



In more important notes, please if you read this take a bit more of your time and visit www.caringbridge.org/visit/faithpruden  and http://www.helpfaith.com/  Faith is my friend’s daughter and she was diagnosed with glioma (terminal brain tumor) she’s only 6 years old and the doctors have given her only 6 months to live. Please read more about her and if you can, donate something to her family, even if it’s prayer. They need a miracle.
