Summary: Pathetic
Comment: No wonder Army wives have such a bad wrap. I can hardly belive the bitterness displayed in your words. By the way grammer lady, your husband did not get his butter bar(S). He earned A butter bar. NOT PLURAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: I was once a COW-tess
Comment: I was once a Commissioned Officer's Wife. I called myself a COW-tess after my ex, whom I was married to at the time, passed OCS and became an officer. I didn't take myself (or him) too seriously and had a blast being married to the military but wasn't enamoured of my husband (and that is another story for another time!)
This book was a life saver for me. I had learned proper etiquette in high school at my parent's private expense, then thought that I'd never need it again. I did. This book is wonderful for *you* as one who cares about the little things like how to write an invitation, how to correctly set a formal table, etc. needs to know them. I used it. I still have it and while I don't need it any more, it makes a great reference and when not in use, it's bulk doubles as a delightful flower press.
If you have an axe to grind or don't think that you will need this book, then for goodness sake, don't buy it! I liked going over to the other side. I liked being invited to parties where the wives who had once not had a reason to be interested in me were inviting me to lunches. I liked that I could entertain with flare. The problem with living on a base is that fraternisation causes gossip. You can't confide something personal lest it gets out, be it to a lower ranking person's spouse or a higher ranking person's spouse. (Call your mother and tell her!) Learn the rules and they will protect you-- it's a good lesson for any way of life.

Summary: A Good Book IF....
Comment: ..you have some time to kill. I am a former enlisted wife(dh just crossed over to the other side) and I do agree with some of the other reviewers that these "how to follow military protocol" books really are geared towards officers' wives.
