She Who Waits;

She Who Waits, Also Serves

One of my biggest things is nothing shy of being a Marines girlfriend. In the world of the military, The Silent Ranks are we. although most of us aren't so silent and we clearly express ourselves and we can have quite a temper, we are none the less, a member of the Silent Ranks. But its been brought to my attention that those who have nothing to do with the military, don't recognize the military women/men, or those who stand amoung the Silent Ranks. It really annoys me sometimes. Because, we do a lot. We're the ones left behind. I've heard the Silent Ranks referred to as "The Homefront Heroes" Class A or Class B, none the less, were here. And all over the country. & a lot of people don't even know it.

We strut our mens branch, not really our own, we boast at how proud we are of our men, but we leave ours alone. we recognize them, more than ourselves, and thats part of being in the Silent Ranks.
