I hate when it does that! Luckily we are at a base that is so small that it's almost impossible to keep us segregated. Our housing isn't even strictly separated. We have O-3&4, WO2-4, E7 & civilians all living in our little area. It's nice not having that part of our lives dictated to us right now. I'm sure this will not be the case at our next duty station so I'm trying to enjoy my freedom while I can!<br /><br />I hope this gets better for you!Jeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12253373351871972448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743740002099906888.post-2207211536703169972012-10-06T07:45:47.666-10:002012-10-06T07:45:47.666-10:00That would drive me nuts, but mostly make me sad. ...That would drive me nuts, but mostly make me sad.

The majority of my friends have husbands who range from SSGT to MGySgt, with a couple Captain's thrown in. No one has ever said anything about the ranks. I don't even know if the husbands all know each other's rank. We used to have really good friends that were 1LT and Capt, we hung out all the time with no issues. They were even in the same unit as hubs. All my friends now are scattered across the base. I'd be livid if I could no longer be friends with my friends.

He had a friend and one day it was fine to hang out with him, the next day it wasn't. The real kicker, they weren't even in the same battalion. So, no chain of command conflicts. It's sad for the guys. But, I agree it sucks being a wife too. I have very little friends because of it. I don't click with <i>any</i> of the wives Daniel's rank. And, the wives I really do click with it's the same thing as you, we can be friends without our husbands, but that just doesn't work.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11145690467668965596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743740002099906888.post-41133395239758194842012-10-04T15:29:31.066-10:002012-10-04T15:29:31.066-10:00I get it.

We hang out together but we have to be careful. At work luckily they maintain complete professionalism but it is rough. I recently met a wife here who's husband is an officer and we want to all get together (luckily he is a a different base) but its still difficult and we could have issues. Sigh. I totally get you!Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13227260412683649907noreply@blogger.com
