In honor of Veteran's Day, let's pay tribute to the real heroes who serve

A friend of mine worked in the Pharmacy at the Army hospital we were stationed at. He had a dependa go off on him cause her service wasn’t fast enough. Of course she started with the “Do you know who my husband is?” crap. My buddy assumed he must have been a Major or Colonel.

Nope, dude was a Sgt/E-5.

In Groton, CT we called them "Grota-pota-mus"

love how the moniker is prevalent throughout the service

You missed the "Respect OUR rank" t-shirt wearers. I hate those bitches, ran into one on Ft. Campbell. She tried to pull some BS using her husbands rank while at the PX shite pisses me off to no end.

I swear young Infantry dudes try to find the fattest wife they can. It was nothing at Fort Drum to see skinny 19 or 20 year old Infantry Privates married to a 250 lbs + whale.

officer's wives can get into that too

Usually those wives are O-4 and lower. After a guy hits Major he typically learns to keep his wife under control.

I had a commander at Fort Polk whose wife would bark orders at us when her fat arse would show up at certain functions. You could tell who wore the pants in that family as she was driving around in a new Ford Explorer and the CO was driving a shitty Ford Escort. She was the epitome of an entitled dependa.

One day our 1SG caught wind of what was going on and told her to stop. She finally stopped showing up.

These are the worst:

Tricareatops is another term that I have heard used for them.

I have some moments I look back on and think the same thing.
