So, I think (most) of you guys have spoiled me

[meltoine]

^o) (huh)

OMG. 

Seriously? WTF. 

[pennylane]

Whoa.

[ggirl]

None of those surprise me lol. H met a guy at work here that was also stationed in beaufort. They got to talking and this guy shared that he was dating a girl, didn't know she was married. Found out that not only was she married but stripping in Atlanta on the weekends. He went up to the husband to tell him about her cheating. And the husband responded with "fuck. Not again".

And. We knew the couple. Did not hang out with them. But the guy was in H's squadron. I have many many many more stories I could share about the cheating. That includes both the husbands and wives.

You know, I'm kinda scared to open up any of these...

Oh my... I love all the women who complain about what sluts their neighbors are because "they have men in and out of their house". I didn't realize having a man over=Cheating.

When H and I were dating, they took away his BAH (because he was an unmarriedE5) but put him in junior enlisted housing as a compromise. At that time, he wore a flight suit to work. I later learned that some of my neighbors thought I was cheating on my junior enlisted husband who was on deployment with an officer. Lolololol. 

My that is some creative sleuthing. Haha.

[amaristella]

I always thought I was pretty nosy when it comes to watching neighbors but on my block I could scarcely tell you which adults and children belong to which house other than the people who live right next door. I only notice things like man, those people have a lot of toys or bikes or their trash can stays in the alley too long. Or hey, their Christmas lights are cute or that person gets more presents from UPS than I do.

Edit: I can tell you exactly which which houses have dogs and what house the dog belongs to. I am so weird.

[audette]

My creepy neighbor story was the one that let me know during trick or treating, while I was handing out candy to his kids, that he had noticed my bizarre hours - my car would be home, and not home at strange times, and sometimes gone for days or weeks at a time. It was apparent from what he said that he had been tracking this while my husband had been deployed. (DH was deployed at the time.) I remember mumbling something about working from home and business travel.


Totally creepy. Almost felt stalker-ish. I totally should have called him out on it, but the timing of it had me totally thrown off...

Eeeeeesssshhhh audette. Why are people so weird?

I think he figured he ought to keep track of it for my husband, seeing as my husband was not home. You know, just in case I was doing something questionable, I guess?

Regardless, creepy.  Super, super creepy.

When we lived out in town in 29 the only notable thing was the sheer amount of Marines they could fit in 1 apt. There were like 6 of them living in a 2 bedroom next door to us...why did you move out of the barracks? Lol.

ETA...my neighbors probably either think I'm a cheating on my husband or I'm Gemma Teller because my husband's motorcycle friends are in and out a lot. Clearly I'm neither of those things.

[G22]

lol we don't live on base and our neighbors all keep to themselves. I'm kind of glad to not deal with the judging/nosiness.

amaristella, I do notice people by their dogs when they are out walking or at their houses. I think its because I'm always out and about the neighborhood with ours and I just remember people's dogs more.

I think on my block the dogs are easier to tell apart from the humans. 85% of the families are Caucasian with children under 5. Most also have one child under 2. And although it is a mix of Air Force and Navy the only real way I can tell the difference is that the Air Force people have a weird obsession with reflector belts and the Navy people, well...NWUs: because we're hiding in the OCEAN. There's also nameplates on every door but I'm usually not paying attention.

Don't even get me started on how dumb that uniform is! Add on that it's hot as shit here wearing that thing. Don't get me wrong I'm proud to wear that uniform but it really sucks.

Yeah. My husband already thinks it's hot to wear it in Hawaii. But then he signed up for the hottest place on Earth so it's gonna be fun. Although he might be authorized to wear some other camo uniform there. Something tells me they're made of similar fibers.

Edit: I know a lot of sailors who really hate NWUs but are pretty big fans of Khakis and sort of love/hate with whites.

After I left 29, I kept in touch with my old next door neighbor (our Hs were in the same unit). She told me that a young couple had moved into the house one unit over and they had like 8 people living there. EIGHT. Wtf people?!

So over the weekend I was making fun of that uniform and one of my NCOs (actually the one who holds my entire fate in his hands) was like, "Duh SPC Stan, don't you know why they have that uniform?" and I was like, "Because they didn't want us to be alone with our impractical and ugly utility uniform?" as a joke and he said, "No, it's because they don't wear coveralls anymore and oil, and fuel, and shit in the bilges won't show on those." And then I came home and image googled just to make sure that he was wrong about the coveralls. I said nothing because I want orders and I don't really care about everyone knowing I'm right as long as I actually am.

Mmm. Sorta. They still wear a blue jumper out to sea but it is not authorized once in port. Coast Guard has something very similar that is authorized all the time. NWUs do not need to suck as hard as they do. That part was avoidable while still choosing a dark color that would hide various stains. I know plenty of guys that the worst stains they get on their NWUs is from an errant ink pen that goes through the wash with them. Or they could just do what the Coast Guard does but that would be too smart.

[Dory1988]

I'm not really sure the stain issue was completely thought through. I got a set of NWU's back on laundry day at boot camp that had orange stains all over them. It was like the day before graduation and one of my RDC's and I were sitting in uniform issue trying to get it replaced...no fun. We're supposed to be going to the Type III's. I'd rather wear dungarees. I've only ever heard positive things about them...I mean I don't wear a uniform on a daily basis anyway but at least I'd look like a sailor when I do wear one.

Orange, WTF? Unless someone poured a can of orange Tang in there I can't even imagine how that happened. Weird accidents happen, though. I remember DH telling me how his cooks somehow managed to turn a bunch of white aprons and tablecloths pink right before a group of VIPs showed up. He loved his guys but boy did they come up with some weird problems.
