Ok, firstly it would seem that my original post on here has been taken the wrong way entirely!
When I was griping about support, I did not mean financial...I meant emotional support, being kept uptodate.
Baddas, lets please get one thing straight - I earn 40k per annum and have not and never will need to go cap in hand to either the Army OR the Council thank you.
I was actually expecting someone to give me a website or even telephone number to perhaps refer to in cases of finding out info etc when partners on ops, for the sake of our son. Non-married forces families do not have the benefit of the support of the families officer etc, this was my point - certainly not financial or otherwise.
I would also like to point out, that while my comments about 'average squaddies' etc must have been viewed as potentially offensive...baddass please do not insult my intelligence by insisting that the army and its personnel are whiter than white - we both know different.
I did not 'get myself pregnant' as you put it...the decision to start a family was a mutual planned one, after 2 years together. Not a quick screw as you must prefer to view it.
Obviously my intention and request for information has been entirely misconstrued..I apologise for not making myself clearer in that respect.
But what a shame you all fired off derogatory comments before even clarifiying with me that we were discussing the same thing.
Obviously, you, Baddass, think all civvy girls are just after a house from the army? Speaking from experience?
And a message to Susie...I have noticed that you post alot on here and you too are a civvy. I would have expected you to perhaps understand what I was getting at, but perhaps you do not have any direct experience with living with a serving solider.
Maybe that would explain why you only agree with whats being siad at the time by the soliders that post on here, instead of having an opinion of your own.
