You know you are a (Navy) Reservist's Wife...

You know you're a Navy Reservist's Wife when...

  1. You've never gotten to perfect the art of unbuttoning the buttons on his Dress Blues because you only see him wear them once a year...if that. 
  2. You are used to explaining to people that Navy Reservists don't have to be near an ocean.
  3. When you aren't with your husband, people you rarely see assume he's deployed, when he's actually just at work.
  4. People ask you if your husband is a Navy Seal.
  5. You've had to actually explain to people that your husband doesn't know anyone from Seal Team 6.
  6. You feel like, unless there's a deployment happening, you have to tell people that you are a real military wife.
  7. You're used to your husband only shaving his beard once a month. 
  8. The main reason to get your military ID out is for discounts because you are rarely on a base.
  9. People have no idea what your husband does in the Navy Reserves (especially in a land-locked state), and you aren't totally sure sometimes either.
  10. You thought it would be fun to go with your husband to drill, then you realized you had nothing do and sat in a hotel for the weekend while he worked and you were the only spouse there.
