Absolutely disgusted.

After such an amazing post this morning from Star on Mili Mondays I was disgusted when I came across this post today. I am absolutely disgusted by this. How can anyone be so careless with other people's lives? We have OPSEC for a reason & I do my best to follow it, not only for the safety of the sailor in my life but for every single man and woman who is defending our country & their families as well. I couldn't live with myself knowing that because I couldn't keep a date or a location or some simple detail to myself I put someone's life in danger. Oh and feel free to leave her comments I encourage you to, maybe if enough people tell her how wrong what she is doing is she will realize it, probably not, but I can hope right?

  3. Oh my gosh!! I really hope that is a joke?!! Looks like a HUGE military wife FAIL! lol!! Ok, not funny by any means, but what is she thinking?

    I can tell you that the deployment before my husband's last year was postponed for a whole month because of wives blabbing the around dates, which was getting around quick. I would be mad if my husband was one that postponed because of some idiotic person like her.

    She needs a middle finger to her face!

  4. And here is what Mr. Man has to say about it:

    "She is gonna get someone killed. It might be her husband, it might be her, or it may be a group of people. And if she does, I hope she has to live the rest of her life with it."

  5. Wow. It is hard, but those rules are there for a reason. She is violating military rule. It kills me that most of her comments are agreeing with her. A couple comments told her off! Good for them!

  6. I posted, commenter number 5.

    Mrs Ma'am, you should comment on it and tell her what your husband said maybe it will be more real coming from a military member.

  7. She is an idiot. Why on earth would someone think that that is okay to post that stuff just so she can vent to someone? People like that absolutely disgust me.

    That is definitely an EPIC FAIL on the behalf of a military spouse...

    That is terrible. I hope someone turns her in. Her husband can get in a crap ton of trouble is someone finds out about it. I actually just got an email from my FRG leader this morning about redeployment that said this:

    "Please understand that your soldiers have been given a direct order not to disclose dates or times to their families. If they do provide this information, they can be prosecuted under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). If you call and tell me that your soldier told you they were coming home on a specific day, I am obligated to let command know and your soldier can receive punishment for providing you with that information"

  10. I hate hate hate that blog.

  11. That blog pisses me off. And doesn't everyone know who the "wives" are? That was posted on her blog a couple of months ago.

    It absolutely makes me cringe that women who are supposed to be "wives" (Notice the repeated use of quotations?!) havve made a blog like that. It's one thing to complain, but it's another to act like they are doing, especially when every one of them has a terrible relationship with their "husbands".

    Makes me SICK.

  12. That's horrible. She'll be caught if she violates. I'm sure someone will turn her in.

  13. I commented on it as MarineBride2Be. And now my final comment has to be approved? Yep, it took me three comments to tell them what I thought.

  14. very few people absolutely disgust me.. she's one of them.

  15. That's just terrible. She must be incredibly young and naive to think that her potential posting of sensitive information won't be harmful. Her claiming so flippantly that she will take responsibility for the consequences demonstrates that she doesn't understand what the consequences actually are.

  16. Wow, thanks for the heads up! Apparently she's only about 20 years old and has some growing up to do. I'd really like to think it's a joke, but just in case, I'm comment #18.

  17. I can't believe she says she'll take responsiblilty!??! How she feel when she ruins someone's life over something like that? We all have to deal with deployments and such, and we are able to stay quiet. It's not that hard. Thanks for letting us know...

    I honestly can't believe that!! I left her a really awesome comment and blog post. =)

  19. I'm so glad I didn't jump on the "semper spouse" bandwagon... the first graphic they had offended me... it made me think that their view of Marine wives was something like a "trophy" it was ridiculously and overtly sexy.

    Then this... those ladies don't seem like they get the whole military spouse thing. It seems more like it's some kind of game. It makes me very sad.

    I pray none of our husbands ever deploy with hers!

    personally, i think it is one thing to grip about military life. yes it sucks and we've all been there.

    BUT

    just as our husbands signed the contract getting themselves into what they are doing... when we married the boys WE KNEW that we wouldnt have a normal civilian life. OPSEC is apart of that. deal with it.

    Someone should report her, she will get caught. It isn't hard to trace a blog. I would never endanger MY sailor, or anyone else's on purpose. Seriously?!?!?!? WOW.

    Agreed. This is her personal blog post on the same subject... I can't believe how many bloggers said they agreed with her!

  23. Wow!!! Absolutely ridiculous!!!

  24. I just couldn't believe her post. It makes me sick to know someone could be so careless with such valuable information that is put there to protect our loved ones....just craziness.

  25. She is absolutely ridiculous, I was so mad reading that, especially when she said she'd take responsibility for anything that happened because of her violating OPSEC. Yeah, because THAT will make family members feel better about their loved one getting killed. Ugh... she has a lot of growing up to do.

    Ok, so I read the original post and it seriously made me want to reach through the screen and slap "Alpha" whoever. Seriously? A middle finger to OPSEC?

    And then I read the "apology" - she basically attacks the commenters of her "Middle finger to OPSEC" post!!!!

    I would really be ashamed to be apart of that blog.

  28. Gah! She took it down. I was much too late. Oh well. I heard about it and its ridiculous. Go you and everyone else for calling her out!
