Our Story

How It All Started:

2014

He's deployed in the hot desert. She's in grad school in the frozen tundra.

She slides into his DMs.

(It was the kit pic...tbh)

.

.

.

Disclaimer: She knows nothing about military life.

Fast Forward...2015

She's on-post doing off-leash training in a quiet, wooded area with their puppy... A vehicle flies up and quickly stops on the road.

A women leans over the passenger side window to yell at her...

"YOU CAN'T DO THAT...Do yOu KnOw wHo mY HuSbAnD iS?"

"...He's an Officer....blah blah... "

Dependa Status

In that moment, she learned about the power of the invisible rank

.

.

.

and laughed in the face of it.

The SaluteMe Shop

After years of marriage, deployments, schools, field problems, ranks, kids, countries, states, and duty stations...

The invisible rank is still hilarious.

Grab something from the shop if you have a sense of humor or to make your service member cringe. It's all in good fun.

  • What is a Dependa?

    Spouses and children of services members are called Dependents.

    Dependa:

    A stereotype that implies the military spouse sits at home doing nothing while their service member works and sacrifices to make them comfortable; spouse who wants special treatment because of their service member's rank or position.

    AKA

    Dependapotamus

    Both have been used as derogatory terms, but not here ;)

The SaluteMe Shop is a fun way to show your support for your service member and to show pride in redefining what it is to be a "dependa."
