Household 6

Well, here is where most of the time we get ourselves into trouble. We all assume that everyone knows the little nuances and acronyms of military life. So here is my issue, I thought you all knew what "Household 6" was....come to find out very few do. So I bet you wondered why silly ole' me had that on my flag that I carry on AWTR's logo and why I was selling tshirts that said Household 6? Here is a definition for you -- and each one of you is DEFINITELY Household 6!!

From the Urban Dictionary: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=household+6

A military man's stay-at-home wife. Sometimes keeps up with the arduous tasks of shining boots, picking up laundry, and shopping, but mostly just a strain on meager Department of Defense budgets, and the military husband. The name is derived from where said wife spends most of her time, and the number 6 is the designation for a commander of a Company/Troop, Battalion/Squadron, Brigade/Regiment, Division or Corps.

Used in a sentence - "I really wanted to go to your going-away party, but household 6 pulled my dispatch."

Note: Cracking up laughing here as I read this post to Star and realize that the above says we "sometimes" keep up with the task of .... and that it says we are mostly just a strain on their budgets! That is hilarious!!! Oh My Goodness...funny, funny, funny. Well anyway what I wanted you to know (should have read the darn thing before I posted it) was why someone was called Household 6 and where it came from. "6" coming from designation for a commander of a Company/Troop, Battalion/Squadron, Brigade/Regiment, Division or Corps and of course you are in charge of the household.

While we are talking and I am laughing, Star is reading through all of the nice NICE definitions that urban dictionary has to offer. We are just dying...we can't print them, but you should go look.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha.....

Then again -- maybe we're just dorks!
