I am an ex military wife 2 times out. My first husband was in the Air Force and my second in the ARMY. Neither of which have worked out, but not due to the military either time. I happen to LOVE the show. Yes, there are uniform discrepancies. Yes, there are protocol discrepancies. Yes, the rumor mill seems to be outrageous. But it's a television show. I have thought for years that there should be a reality show about the lives of military families. Military families have a very unique family life and it takes one heck of a woman to take on that responsibility for her family. Speaking from personal experience the rumor mill can seem just as outrageous when you and your family are the focus of the gossip. Watching officer's walk right into the ER while you've been sitting in the waiting room for 4 hours is NOT unheard of. And I love Roxy's lack of military knowledge, it puts a very realistic edge on her character. It doesn't always make sense in the military and that is another obstacle that you must deal with as a military family. Yeah yeah yeah you're all reading this going...but you've tried and failed twice...but I am a firm believer that the military is not what ended either of my marriages, it was the person behind the uniform that ended them. I still love the military life, and love me a man in uniform. All in all I think the show is great and gives America a glimpse of the lives of the wives of those who are serving. Big kudos from me and I can't wait for next season.
