I end up counseling my troops a few times a year on their wives. The number one issue is money....or the wives LACK of ability to handle it. A troop will be sent to Iraq or Afghanistan for a while, and we all know the saying..."When the cat's away, the wife will play". That troop will return from overseas and have a house full of ****, new furniture, bedroom suite, kitchen appliances, new dresses, shoes, even had a guy get back and see a 2008 Ford Explorer in the driveway WITHOUT talking to him!
