Excerpt blog post: Long gone are the days of calling cards, white gloves and classes on Army household management. Firmly established are the days of first name conversations, phone calls in lieu of thank you cards and children attending New Year's receptions at the commander's house. Is this atrophy of historical social graces good or bad? Does the more traditional protocol have any relevancy (or purpose) in today's Army?
What do you think?
Is your copy of The Army Wife Handbook dog-eared and ragged from extensive use? Or do you even OWN a copy of the handbook?
If your English-speaking host expects you to respond to an invitation written in English, why do they use a French phrase - RSVP or "répondez, s'il vous plait"? You took Spanish in high school, not French. – What does RSVP mean anyway?
When people go on and on about how "protocol is missing", do you hand them a map and tell them to go look for it?
What are you faux paux (sp?) are you guilty of when it comes to etiquette?
Do you write thank you notes?
