You might be a Coast Guard Spouse if …. You remember milestones by location, not year. Your kitchen is a galley. Many conversations start with, “when we lived in …” You have friends scattered from Alaska to Puerto Rico. Your northern and southern accents blend together so no matter where you live, people say, “You’re not from here are you?” Your 3 year old looks at you and says, “I don’t like this anymore. Can we move?” Your children believe that Santa Claus comes by boat or helicopter – not by sleigh. You’re the only spouse in the neighborhood who always mows the lawn. You know your spouse’s social security number better than your own. You have more books in boxes than on the bookshelves. Your spouse has been home for a while and is getting on your nerves. You look at your watch and say, “isn’t it time for you to get underway again?” Your ironing board has at least four stickers from different moving companies on it. Your driver’s license is from Maine, your license plates are from Florida and you are living in Texas. You have no problem moving every few years with three kids, a Great Dane, two hamsters and two rabbits in a minivan. Author Unknown
