What's Up With Military Boys?

This is a little laugh about boys and by boys I mean our men who will always be little boys. Most of these are particular to military boys but they surely apply to civilian guys too. This post was inspired by meeting a Coast Guard Flight Surgeon who was my doctor at Urgent Care a couple of weeks ago who had many things in common with my husband. This is dedicated to my husband, the doc and all the curiously amazing men of the U.S. military -- and the women who love them.

1. What is up with a significant other or spouse touching or caressing your bottom in public. But if you did it to him he would tell you it was inappropriate.

2. What's up with cars. Needing more than one or two vehicles, being obsessed with gas mileage, engines, etc. What is up with being more obsessed with the well-being and protection of your car, even over people sometimes. lol.

3. What is up with being super health conscious and evangelizing it to everyone around you then eating whatever junk you want to eat on top of the protein powders and magical nutritious stuff.

4. What is up with needing so many high power flashlights, multi-tools, microscopic screwdrivers and knives?

5. What is up with all the post-it notes and pens in all your pockets that then find themselves all over the house? And why do you need to take every free junky, cheap pen you cross paths with?

6. What is up with the obsession with industrial strength hook and loop fastener (aka Velcro) and Duct Tape?

7. What's up with needing dozens of portable drink containers and shake mixers?

8. What is up with your TV channels like History, Military, Animal Planet, etc. and why do the shows have to be so loud?

9. What is up with pretending your too cool to be homesick when you clearly are?

10. What is up with the fact you are so darn lovable just as you are? We wouldn't trade you for anything!
