[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 612226, member: 15473"] I live in a world of rank. LOL Being a military spouse one of the first things you learn is "never burn bridges." Why because even though the military is a huge entity we always seem to run smack dab into the same people over and over. IE: husband's roommate in Afghanistan is now one of our neighbors. Granted he doesn't outrank my husband but one of them could easily get promoted .and then what? You pray that either you haven't ticked this person who now has power over you off or you are confident in your friendship. What difficult child needs to keep in mind is that this "moron" may not know what he is saying but because he is a coach and a part of the upper level of the sport he most likely has contacts. Those contacts will call the "moron" before hiring difficult child. Maybe that won't happen this year or next but in the long run it will most likely happen. Even as a military wife I have had to learn to play nice with other military spouses. Whether I like them or not I nod politely and say what I need to in order to survive. Those other spouses can and will come back to haunt you! [/QUOTE]
