There Are limes that i dislike it but then so does everyone else. We must make the Best of it under the circumstances. So try not to make it harder on me. Let me give you some fact or pointers i either work for your husband or your husband work for me. There Are Many time i have to Convene with your husband. This u unavoidable because communications part of Ibe Job. I May laugh or joke with him smile at him or even touch Hiarm.

Depending on the Mission and the number of tent available i might even have to sleep with your husband in the same tent believe me your husband and i Are not in the same cot together while we Are out in the Field we avenge anywhere from 12 to 16 hour on Doty. The last thing on our minds is to go to bed together. Remember that we Are very dirty no showers available not to slate How tired we Are. Plus there Are several other soldiers in he same tent there Are Many times that i win have logo wit your husband alone on a Mission. But if your husband is a professional Soldier Alia then nothing can  army does not allocate a any time to Stop off at a hotel along the Way for a fling. If you re late arriving a your destination questions Wil be asked. Everyone knows How Long u will take you from one destination to another also there Are social functions i have to attend with your husband whether it be a luncheon a formal dance or a dining out or simply drinking a Beer with him. But ladies these Are functions that Are part of my career As Well As his. We do not elect to go there. We Are usually mandated la go for no one wants to go to a military function. Meat a Long As he is my supervisor or he won forme and we have a problem we have to talk. Some times that Beer will help to loosen up things. Of you Trust your husband let him be and do no accuse him of thing that he a not done. Or if you do not Trust him. Then join us but wait until the problems solved. For if 1 have a confidential problem then i do not want you there for then i could have discussed it at work or with you. I enjoy being around men and working with them. Don t you if you see or hear that your husband and i Are engaged in so wow dont worry. The army has devel oped physical training programs that we must Bot participate in.
