Friday Eve things

Here are my answers to Wife of a Sailor’s Friday Fill-in questions:

What is the silliest get-up you have ever worn outside of a Halloween party? It’d have to be something from the 80s. Actually, it was for my third grade picture day. I wore this horrible neon, paint splashed jumpsuit/overall outfit. It was really, really bad. No wonder those years were so awkward for me!

What is something that you gave up in order to live the military lifestyle? My family. Coming from an extremely tight-night group of cousins, aunts, and uncles—not to mention my immediate family—it’s extremely difficult to be so far away.

If money wasn’t a factor and you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be? And why? Hmmm, my first thought is that I’d go home 🙂 But my second thought is that I’d go to Antarctica! How cool would that be? I’d also like to go somewhere exotic like Bali and stay at one of those shacks sitting directly over the crystal blue water. Then again, I think I’d like to check out Africa and see natural wildlife there. Okay, so I guess my final answer is this: I’d want my own chartered plane—that I don’t have to pay for—and free hotel rooms wherever I go. Then, I would literally travel around the world. And since this is all hypothetical, my husband would travel along with me and wouldn’t get in trouble for going AWOL 🙂

If you were going to join the military, what branch would you join? Or which MOS/rating would you choose? I wouldn’t.
