Have you ever been interested in trying the "It Works" wraps? I have, but I've always been a bit skeptical. Well, Kneller Fit Wraps has asked me to do a give-a-way for my fans on *Army Wives Do It With Hooah* AND has asked me to do a product review! So, not only is she giving one away to my fans, but I get to try it too! My product review, to include before and after pics, will be in a separate blog post later this month.
Never heard of "It Works" wraps?
Well... HERE IS THE SKINNY!!!

Me, Me, Me... More about Me!
I did a "Get to know the Creator of the page" post on *AWDIWH* the other day and now I'll answer the questions...
Where were you stationed and when? How long have you been an army wife? What's your hubs' MOS?
The first place we went was Fort Riley, KS. Then we moved onto Fort Carson, CO, then to Fort Hood, TX and we're currently at Fort Stewart, GA.
My husband joined the army in 2002...so I've been living this lifestyle with him for 10 1/2yrs now. There have been times when I've questioned whether or not I could handle it, but I always come out stronger through each trial.
I can never remember the technical term for my husband's MOS. His main "job" is being a tank mechanic. Right now though, he is an SGL out at WLC. (Small group leader, aka Instructor, at Warrior Leadership Course...he trains NCOs - Non-commissioned Officers.)

Questions for Me From some *AWDIWH* fans!
The other day I asked the fans on my page if there was anything they wanted to know from me personally... so here we go!
Melanie Greeke - "Can you talk about the phrase "sanctity of marriage" and how it has absolutely no meaning?? I'm tired of hearing it."
Let's dig a little here... "Sanctity of Marriage" or "Holy Matrimony" to me is more for those who are "religious". This is the idea of sacredness in marriage. "Sanctity" has the meaning of "holiness"..for those who do not believe in God, "sanctity in marriage" most likely doesn't exist.
However, this doesn't mean that they don't take their vows seriously or respect their marriage.
Now, even though I do believe in God, I'm not a fan of "sanctity of marriage". There are several reasons why... one, the divorce rate in America is ridiculous and clearly shows that "sanctity of marriage" isn't what it use to be. Those who claim they believe in the "sanctity of marriage" don't respect it. They disrespect themselves and their spouse which throws the "sanctity" right out the window.
Two, I have seen many "christians" who believe in the "sanctity of marriage" yet they don't follow Christ. If you followed Christ and believed in the "sanctity of marriage" your life would show it. If that light doesn't shine through you, don't preach it to others.
Three, I've been cheated on. Sanctity for me no longer exists. It will never come back.
So basically, I think "sanctity of marriage" really doesn't matter. What matters is that when you make your vows, you take them seriously. You respect the boundaries of your marriage, you respect your spouse. You don't give up at the first sign of trouble. Unless you are being physically, mentally & emotionally abused, you do everything in your power to make it work. Too many people treat a marriage like it's a game.
If you believe in the "sanctity of marriage" and it works for you, good, I'm truly happy for you. If you don't believe in it, that's alright with me too!! But no one should be judging the other on what works for them.
Ellen Hunt-Crane - "So... Here I was, just drinking my morning coffee. My cat sits by me.. normal thing right? Nope. Not this time. The bastard farted."
LOL I had to comment on this...there was a bit of a "discussion" going on in the thread about the "sanctity of marriage" and Ellen posted this as a distraction I'm assuming. It made me chuckle...and I'd like to add that I hated it when my dog would fart... man it was the nastiest thing EVER!! lol
Kara Cunningham - "What was the motivation behind creating this page, and what were your expectations at first?"
I guess my motivation behind this page was a group on MySpace. I joined a group of hilarious wives on MySpace during one of my husbands deployments.. they helped me in more ways then they could ever know. I still talk to alot of them and one of them is actually my co-admin on the page. MySpace died and we migrated to Facebook. We had no group on Facebook so I made the page.
I had tried doing other "support" pages first though..but I couldn't stand all the hearts and lovey dovey crap...if you said what you felt, instead of what they wanted to hear, you were mean, negative and dramatic.. So, I wanted a spot where I could use my experience and knowledge to help others w/o having to sugar coat things.
I wanted a place where myself and others could seek advice, vent, discuss/debate, bitch and whatever else w/o feeling that we had to tip-toe around sensitive women who only want to hear "everything will be alright sweetie" instead of the truth.
I'm not sure what my expectations were when I made the page. I wanted to help others and keep myself occupied lol...it has certainly become more than I ever thought it would. While I have my days where I would love it if I could smack someone through my laptop screen, I keep going on because of the impact I know I have made on others.
Christine Nola Gibson - "Do you think that there is one incident, event, experience that defines you moreso than other one in your life? Why? Which one?"
I don't think there is one specific incident, event, or experience that defines me more than another. I have had so many that I have been through and done that I take something from them all. I do think that there are specific experiences that have given me more strength than other ones... ones that have given me more hope... more faith... more courage... more determination... more open-mindedness... everything together defines me.
Ellen Hunt-Crane - "Was there a time in your marriage that you felt it wasn't going to make it? I ask because it seems like a lot of people, including myself, have felt that at one time or another."
In all honesty, there have been more a few times where I felt it wasn't going to make it. I'm struggling with that right now. I don't think that is important though.
What I think is important is how you handle those feelings. Are you going to let them get the best of you? Just give up? Or are you going to fight and give it all you got until you have no more to give? Are you going to keep doing the same old thing, or are you going to take the time to figure what is wrong, why you feel it might not make it, and then do something to fix it? I choose to give it my all until I have nothing left to give.
Angie Phillips - "What is your deployment guilty pleasures, and routine?"
Each deployment I had different guilty pleasures & routines.
During his first one, I was really big in going to church. My routine stemmed from my church family and the "sisters" I gained through them. I had started going to church on Tuesday night for Bible Study, on Wednesday morning for Ladies Bible Study..Thursday night for service... On Saturdays we went "soul winning", where we invited people out to church & then service on Saturday night... On Sunday mornings I went to service & ended up teaching Sunday school & went to service Sunday night. It seems like a lot, but really I felt it wasn't enough at the time. I loved the people there, the energy, the togetherness we shared. My guilty pleasures during this deployment was reading lol... I know it doesn't sound exciting, but I use to read all the time until I had kids. Two toddlers took up a lot of time. So I had made the time again to read. Reading relaxed me and helped me keep my mind off the deployment.
During his second deployment, we were already living somewhere else. I didn't have my same church family but I went to the church we had in that area. I met some great ladies there too but my time at church wasn't as much as it was before. By then we had the boys and Alexis. My daily routine was taking the boys to school, coming home and taking care of the house and playing with Alexis. The boys would come home and we would do extra learning activities along with their homework. I didn't really have any guilty pleasures that time...I just busied myself with the kids.
During his third deployment, we were living somewhere else, again! I didn't go to church at all there. I did make a few amazing friends... if it weren't for Heather L. and Amber V. I would have fallen apart. I had so many trials during that time. I spent my days with Heather drinking coffee and talking..shopping and storm chasing a time or two... One of my guilty pleasures was taking the back road to the Walmart from West Fort Hood... I loved to sit in the middle of the road while the cows crossed and just watch them.. it reminded me of back home in Jersey... Another guilty pleasure was my and Amber's "Dexter nights"! We would run up to the little spot at the shoppette and grab lots of Spam-musabi's and stuff our faces while lounging on the couch watching Dexter. It was heaven...lol
During his fourth deployment, we were yet again, somewhere else. My routine here was a bit different. Most of his deployment, my routine consisted of school work and gym time and doctors appointments. I was losing weight so my guilty pleasure was new clothes and I rewarded myself each week with my fave drink from Starbucks.
Tabitha-James Sutton - "How does your hubby feel about the page?"
Darrell "rags" on me sometimes about it, but I think he really likes it. Well, not so much likes the page itself, but likes that I like it b/c I get to help others. I think he is proud, but doesn't like to admit it. A few times when I have met some new soldiers, my husband will bring up the page, "You know, if your wife needs help or anything, she should check out my wife's page..." One thing he doesn't like is me getting too personal when it involves him. He is a private person. There are times when he helps me with advice and times when he laughs at some of the stuff. No, he doesn't post on there and no he isn't even a fan lol
Ben Bierman - "How do u inbox ? Like u know so its posted as a ? On here ? How many people run this page ? Just one ?"
There is a contact tab and my email is in the info/about section. I am the only one who posts the inboxes, so only I see them. But I do have another admin who posts occasionally and helps me keep an eye on the page when I go out of town and stuff. I am the main one who posts though. When my other admin, Rissa, posts she signs her name. I never sign my name.
Christine Nola Gibson - "How do you feel about the use of the term Military "brats"? Do you think it puts a bad spin on children who were raised in the military?"
I really didn't have a problem with that term before, but now I don't care for it much. Here's why... I had to file a complaint with housing against someone whose children were just out of control. As it turns out, I was not the first to do so. I don't know if the lady was suppose to or not, but she actually showed me one of the complaints b/c of something we were specifically talking about. In this report, the woman I was filing a complaint against had told them "they're military brats, that's what they do", referring to her kids. UH NO. My kids have been "military brats" for 10yrs. My boys are 12 & 11 and my daughter is 6. My kids are NOTHING like hers. My kids are not disrespectful to adults...my kids don't run around with knives threatening other kids...my kids don't destroy property.. my kids don't go around calling people "faggots" or telling black girls "take your black ass back to the ghetto"... So, no, I do not like the term "military brats" now lol... I refuse to have my kids lumped into what she thinks is acceptable for kids who she says are "military brats".
If there are other things you want to ask, post a comment here on my blog post and I'll do another post like this =) Thanks for reading!

The History of *Army Wives Do It With Hooah*
It all began on myspace about 5yrs ago... I was bored and lonely during my husbands 3rd deployment so I decided to look up army wives groups on myspace. ((You know, when myspace was cool and all lol))
So I found this one group that seemed to be pretty active called "Doin' it with Hooah". The girl who made the group didn't mod it in any way and just kinda let it grow on it's own. I lurked for a bit to get a feel of the group and the members and honestly, they scared me.
They were honest, blunt and to the point. They gave advice and debated and joked around. I gradually started posting and getting to know them... and the main posters are still "good internet friends" to this day. I even know 2 personally in real life, like we hang out and stuff =)
Then one day, our group was invaded by trolls and we couldn't do anything about it because the mod had given up on the group. The trolls had html codes to mess up our group and it all went to crap. So, we left the group and I made a new one and later another... "We do it with Hooah" and then "Hooah - we do it with Pride". They became dead though because myspace died.
So when all migrated to Facebook I decided to start a new one, but this time a page that could be seen by all. Our first page on Facebook, which had the same name (AWDIWH) didn't go as I planned... it was like a Facebook version of the mean girls club! It was crazy. I was disappointed. So I deleted it and started a fresh one, the one that is on Facebook now.
It has really come a long way from the original group on myspace. I wanted to help others and have a place where we could be free to say what we please, talk about any and every thing from army stuff to what color we paint our nails lol... it really got better when I started doing "inboxes" - where people send me in questions and I post them anonymously so that their identity was kept hidden. It must have been a good idea b/c it became a popular thing that other pages started doing as well. I like that I started a page "trend" lol...
We vent and laugh and give advice... the fans aren't afraid to voice their opinions or say how they feel b/c they know I'm not ban crazy like a lot of army/military support pages... I don't like to censor, ban or delete... and the page went really well when I made rules for it. My rules aren't strict, they just simple common sense and small things to help the page run smoothly.
I have gotten so many emails/messages about how the page has helped someone and that is why I keep doing it. Helping others makes me feel great.
I hope everyone enjoys the page as much as I enjoy it. =)
Here is a photo album on my page that shows some "love" for AWDIWH

I will take poems up to August 31, 2011. I will then take all the poems I get and put them in a blog post. The members of *Army Wives Do It With Hooah* will vote.
Depending on how many poems I get, I may break the voting into groups of poems and then vote among the winners of each group.
Voting will take place in the middle of September 2011, not sure of the exact date, but I will keep you updated on it. ((Not sure of exact date b/c of my Surgery on the 9th))
Let's have fun!!! Can't wait to see what we get!!
Write those poems and email them to me by August 31st!!!

GOOD LUCK!!
I've decided to do a contest with a prize. We've had a few contests in the past, but not many. The prize will be something Scentsy from me (Jamie Lynn Independent Scentsy Consultant).
The Contest - Those who wish to enter will write a "Haiku Poem" about the military/army...this can be a wide range of things...from your soldier to the flag..deployments to PSCing... it doesn't have to "patriotic" but it has to be military related.
In case you don't know what a "Haiku Poem" is, you can read about it here:

Sarcastic Humore We Can Relate To
My friends and I were having one of many sarcastic moments lol
Just some of our "off" humor LOL...
Original Post:
Aimee ~ I just wanted to share that my husband is TDY and I haven't heard from him in 2 whole days! I'm assuming that he is either with a stripper or getting some female (soldier or civilian) pregnant.
But I'm not complaining, honestly, because I wouldn't leave anyways. I'm too dependent on the BAH and health care!
Goodnight ladies!
Comments:
Marissa ~ what? I thought TDY was the same as deployment :P
Judy ~ Its probably the female soldier because you know...they're all whores, right?
Aimee ~ i know judy! no better than strippers.
Laura ~ What? You mean yours doesn't text you all day & isn't home by 5pm????
Kimberly ~ LMAO I LOVE YOU LADIES THIS SO JUST MADE MY NIGHT :)
Aimee ~ NO LAURA, he doesnt. i think that means that something is going on. what would you guys do?
btw this is 8th deployment in 9 months! because anytime they arent at home, its a non combat deployment!
Ashlie ~ Please tell me this was a joke cuz temporarily my husband and I live separate and 2 days without talking sheesh that's nothing ... great benefits But the soldiers worth more
Laura ~ Do you get separation pay when he ges into the field for a week??
Ashlie ~ How far is his tdy station from u? Did he let u know he wouldn't b contacting u?
Aimee ~ can i really get that? i should look into that, laura! thanks for the suggestion, who do you think i should contact? COC, IG, or JAG?
Stephani ~ This sounds exactly like my situation! I hope they aren't together....thank goodness for dadt.
Judy ~ Shut up Aimee, my husband was deployed to NTC for a WHOLE MONTH and they wouldn't even pay to move me home.
Aimee ~ holy shit, i never even thought that he could be taking DICK! one more thing to worry about. i think im going to die, ladies. for real!
Ashlie ~ Wow ya I thought u could in a tdy deployment
Laura ~ IG - Always go to them first. You get the best results that way. All the new wives/moms/grandmas/aunts are doing it.
Aimee ~ judy, my husband was deployed to NTC for 15 mutha fucking months! got TARANTULA team!
Stephani ~ Aimee at least you wouldn't have to worry about him knocking someone up....then the baby won't steal any of your shopping money.
Judy ~ Laura, you get even BETTER results when you walk into IG wearing your husband's PT shirt. It shows them you are part of the Army team.
Aimee ~ guess what ladies, all of your prayers worked! i just got a text saying that he had been in field for the last few days and he would call me in a few minutes! man the power of prayer is AMAZING!
Aimee ~ HELL NA BITCH!! AINT NO ONE GONNA TOUCH MY SHOPPING MONEY! and fuck those ex wives that had to audacity to actually ask for child support before my ass came along!
bunch of gold digging whores!
Eliane ~ Ok, who of you is paying for my new laptop!?!
Totally just spit water on it laughing!! Thank you very much ladies!!
Judy ~ Eliane, I hear you can apply for an AER loan and get a new one.
Eliane ~ But do I have to pay the money back or do I just keep it?
Laura ~ No, a loan means you do not have to pay it back. I learned that by watching court TV shows.
I would never wear his nasty PT shirt, but his dress blues are freshly dry cleaned. I look great in blue.
Aimee ~ YOU technically dont have to pay shit back. HE does! take a huge loan, and then leave his ass.
Eliane ~ Ok, well I have wanted the new Nissan 370Z... The free AER loan will work for that, right!?!
Plus I thought as a good army wife you had to take out a huge loan and then leave your soldier ;-)
Aimee ~ actually, the good wife stays through the deployment, all while secretly stashing away the deployment pay and hoping to win the SGLI lottery. and THEN leaves....once he is back, with all of his money.
Kimberly ~ Well Aimee its ok since ur boyfriend is over right? Well one of em... aren't we all whores like our hubby's? Its in the army wife code book..
Aimee Stroup Yadda Yadda~ i have HUNDREDS of boyfriends....because ALL army guys like big, fat, baby making, worn out women!
i am like their kryptonite! i make them all leave their skinny, over educated wives!
Jamie ~ i can't believe you have the nerve to complain!! mine just left for basic this morning...i'm devastated!
btw, my son hit his head and is bleeding all over and saying he sees spots... what should i do?
Aimee ~ i would wrap his head in a plastic bag...all of the way down to his neck..secure it with duck tape. if the bleeding doesnt stop in 10 minutes, wait longer.
Marissa ~ Im sorry but Jamie's was the best. Altho the line about how you are kryptonite was pretty fucking good!
Jamie ~ My husband had the nerve to miss dinner! His 1st SGT is gonna hear it from me!
