We've all heard of these little sayings... Here are a few I've made up in my own day-to-day life:
You know you're an Army Wife when...
... You have a conversation with another Army wife that consists of only acronyms and you understand each other perfectly.
... You can put toys together faster than your husband.
... Your language could make a Sailor blush.
... You can push a stalled car out of a busy intersection while carrying your child in a sling in front of you.
... You would rather move 36 weeks pregnant than to have your Soldier deploy again.
... When you can, without hesitation, tell another the time differences between not only east and west coasts (because you have friends on both) but also what time it is in Iraq, Kuwait, and Afghanistan.
... You can read a Reg better than most Civilians can read a Map.
... You can read a Map in German/Japanese/Italian.
... You've driven on both sides of the road, legally.
... Though you can change that tire without problem, you know it's easier to call USAA and their fabulous Road Side Assistance.
... You know what grade of oil both your vehicles take off the top of your head, where as your husband does not.
... You get care packages from "home" full of grits, Vidalia Onions, and seeds from the other part of the country where your family lives.
... You're excited to live a place where you can fly home for only $300 round trip.
... You like to PCS because it gives you a chance to clear out all your junk
