People tend to...I couldn't agree with you more. People tend to complain about everything nowadays, and blame for military and whatnot for not having what they would like to have. <br /><br />Tricare may not always be the best insurance but people are taken care of; and on the other hand there are also very, very poor-quality health insurances in the civilian world. Having an insurance that allows patients to visit any doctor at minimum cost is not that simple but very often requires a person to work in corporations that are able to provide excellent benefits to the employees. <br /><br />And what comes to the employment and career.... I will probably have nearly every other person hating me after this comment but it definitely is possible to build a career while doing the military thing. It just requires excellent networking skills, proper education, and active searching. Companies even let people work remotely if they feel the person is worth that effort. In my opinion the biggest challenge with the career is people's own attitude, sometimes laziness or lack of dedication. Smart, diligent people can and will make it to work.Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05543205415852238903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639020769281608748.post-13977531376007594142011-07-17T06:31:28.002+02:002011-07-17T06:31:28.002+02:00It's so funny that you posted this! 1.

My husband and I were just discussing this the other day.<br /><br />When I complain about military life, I always do so during days when life is really being terrible. That said, I always try to remember the good things about it. I hate Tricare, but having health insurance is great.<br /><br />The one thing that really gets me and really just pisses me off is milspouses who don't seem to understand their sacrifice is nothing compared to their husbands/wives and that they are NOT the one serving. Sadly, I have met many a wife who don't seem to understand that distinction. <br /><br />This was a great post. It is a great reality check and I think I will bookmark it so I can read it on days when I'm getting really upset about life. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639020769281608748.post-8302712672704084792011-07-15T01:59:01.484+02:002011-07-15T01:59:01.484+02:00AMEN!!!! :) Tricare fucking rocks my socks girlie,...AMEN!!!! :) Tricare fucking rocks my socks girlie, you know that! :)<br /><br />xoxoxololahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13124198375644527049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639020769281608748.post-9473263545759133542011-07-14T23:06:00.983+02:002011-07-14T23:06:00.983+02:00I totally agree with you!!!

Everyone chose it, therefore don't complain about. Heck I know a milspouse who ran over her husband with her car to keep him from deploying. Yep, true story. Its really sad.

I can understand when military wives talks about the hardships of this life, but you also have to take personal responsibility. I choose to be here. Yes, it is harder to start my career, but I knew that going in.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14512593790820167149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639020769281608748.post-65127508906661732662011-07-14T14:33:05.487+02:002011-07-14T14:33:05.487+02:00I hear this!

It also drives me insane when wives blame the Army for everything. I really believe the military has given us a good life, and while it does have hardships and sacrifice, there is a lot of positive as well!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14756861396922776236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639020769281608748.post-18455184238306959092011-07-14T12:54:16.151+02:002011-07-14T12:54:16.151+02:00In particular I am grateful for our medical insura...In particular I am grateful for our medical insurance when so many in my age range are about to get kicked off their parents' insurance and probably don't have many great alternatives. Sure there was a time or two that I had to sit and read a book while waiting for a prescription, but then that prescription was FREE!
