    My Love Of The Show ARMY WIVES! hide show

    I love the show Army Wives. I have a lot of family that is in the military. Some family members are in the Navy. Some are in the Army or Marines. Everything they show on this television show is just like real life. I was so caught up in the last episode. I can not wait until the nest season to see is the one mom character is going to make it back from war to see her baby and husband. Then that one couple is really on the rocks, I do not know if they are going to divorce or work out there differences. I really can not wait until next season.

    Coming from a military family, we both could relate to the issues presented here. And to you GUYS out there---It is NOT just another chick-flick!!!!! -Army Wives way to GO!!!! hide show

    OMG -My sister got me HOOKED on this show while we were together in our fathers last month on this earth. Coming from a military family, we both could relate to the issues presented here. And to you GUYS out there---It is NOT just another chick-flick!!!!! -I may even try to watch the back episodes of Army Wives. I hope that Catherine Bell can continue on the show, she kinda puts a Military feel to the show after starring in JAG, but one can not forget her role a a GOOD witch in the Hallmark series. -Army Wives way to GO!!!!

    In response to rss0162 post hide show

    Hi
    I am currently a military spouse and I have to disagree with rss0162. It depends on the base where you live. My neighbors in OH were enlisted and my husband was an officer. I being a wife and not the active duty member can hang out with whomever I want and through playgroups I have made great friends with enlisted wives. So that part of the Army Wives show is very realistic. You won't though see the husbands hanging out as much. There is a somewhat fine line between enlisted and officer when it comes to the active duty member. So on a whole I think the show is very realistic and has shown some issues in the military I have seen -- now grant it some are dramatized for tv purposes.

    Army Wives is the best show to show the happy parts of the war and what real military families have to go through! hide show

    I love armywives...its hard to watch though bc i was marring into the army but we ended up just being friends...but he is in training for war right now so its hard...but i still watch it every sunday night!!although the show has a few parts are totally made up for the whole tv point of everything but it does show what military families have to deal with every day of this war...yes officers wives dont take to or hand out with enlisted wives (or husbands for that matter)but i do like how the show shows that ther are army husbands too!

    I can see why so many people like this show, but in reality, the things that happened on the show don't happen in real life. Officers and their families live in officer country and enlisted families don't fratinize with their superiors. hide show

    I know everyone wants the show to come back, but I don't think it will. If it does come back, it won't be anything like the old show because some of the characters will be missing. In fact, Roxanne, must likely won't be there because she is coming out in a Lifetime Movie Channel movie shortly.
    To many things left up in the air. The teenage daughter running off with the solider. In real llife it wouldn't happen. No way. Enlisted personnel and officers do not mix, especially teenage daughters.
    Enlisted wives and officer wives don't mingle either. I just don't see Army Wives coming back, what do y'all think?
