About Us
2014
He's deployed. She knows nothing about the military.
She slides into his DMs.
(It was the kit pic...Tbh)
Fast Forward: 2015
She's walking their puppy (i know, typical Army couple move) on post.
She lets the dog off-leash in a remote area to work on some training.
A vehicle quickly approaches. The window rolls down. A woman leans over the seat to yell at her.
"YOU CAN'T DO THAT! ...MY HUSBAND IS AN OFFICER...Do yOu KnOw WhO mY hUsBaNd iS?"
This was her first encounter with the invisible rank.
Since that day, she has laughed in the face of the SaluteMe spouse attitude.
2016-Present
Between numerous schools, deployments, jobs, multiple PCS, states, countries, kids, ranks, and that same dog holding down the fort, the invisible rank and Dependa Status are still hilarious.
She's embraced her role as a not-so-traditional Dependa and enjoys making her husband cringe with phrases like "Household 6" and "You had me at Tricare."
