Quote from: Mr. Bill on November 25, 2005, 07:58:49 AMTotally off topic but I have to comment on this one. I have been a Navy Wife for 14 years. Started my marriage this way. I remember the days of "snail mail". And we did the number the letters thing too. And some of the letters never showed up..... I remember savoring those phone calls when he was deployed for 6 months. I also remember when he went on his first boat with email and phones. I remember the "newbie" wives who complained that their husbands didn't sit their and play email tag with them. Or the wife who complained because her husband abused his position on the boat to call her several times every day on the government line. It got the point with certain wives I told them to shut up and get a life. They are not out there to play email tag with them, but to do a job. Get over it and be glad you have that. Me personally, I miss those days of checking the real mail box every day praying for a letter. And I still have every one of the letters we sent back and forth the first half of our career.
I remember people complaining that they had sent an email and their wife didn't get it yet, and when I asked them how they knew they said because they had just talked to her on the phone. My response probably wasn't the kindest :)

Ginger thank you and your daughter for her service. Is she home now? I'm just amazed at how much technology has advanced in recent years. It wasn't that long ago when I remember getting to call my wife once a month (if I was lucky) and waiting on mail call for letters that finally caught up with us, and then getting 5 or 10 at a time. We used to number the letters so that we'd read them in order, lol. My very last deployment over to the gulf, we not only had phones on the ship but email too. I remember people complaining that they had sent an email and their wife didn't get it yet, and when I asked them how they knew they said because they had just talked to her on the phone. My response probably wasn't the kindest :)
As far as this thread, I've probaby said enough already. It wasn't/isn't my intent to make anyone feel unwelcome here. I'd just ask that they don't judge based on one small issue and apply it broadly across others. Yes, I'm probably as guilty of it as anyone but now that I've said my piece, I'll be leaving this thread alone.
BTW, Happy Day After Thanksgiving Left-Over Day (I'd say happy shopping but the only shopping I'll be doing today will be on line. My wife and daughter are braving the masses at the malls, I'll probably see them again sometime before Monday lol)
