Army Wives not the real world
In the real world, these army wives wouldn't survive a day. They just aren't tough enough. Officer wives DO NOT hang out with enlisted wives EVER!! What a wife does or doesn't do has no bearing on whether her husband makes rank, as suggested in the first episode. Wives do not shop for the husbands specific deployment items. Things like this are just ridiculous, and give military wives a bad name. Also, we don't hang back and cheat on our husbands while they are gone (the show hasn't said that yet, but I am sure its coming) And when bad things happen to our husbands, we know it long before it hits CNN. What we do is ferociously protect our families, our children and our friends, just as our spouses ferociously protect the United States of America.

A must watch for military spouses
I am a military wife and this is a great show. I can identify with some of the things not all of course. I think it is a must see show for all military spouses. This is great and I am glad they came out with something for military spouses. I think that they should ask military spouses about some of the issues and do the shows on that. It is a great show that I can see being on for a long time.

The best summer show on TV
I was active duty Air Force and married to an active duty Air Force Sergeant. While I do see a lot of creative license being taken (the XO's wife is probably not going to be great buddies with an E-2's wife), I see a lot of reality as well. I had friends from all walks of life and worked on projects with the wives of enlisted and officers alike. Yes, by the way we did buy our husband's deployment clothing supplies (me, just cause it was easier to buy mine and his together). The gossip can run rampant, and whether anyone wants to admit it or not, cheating is an issue not only with the ones left home, but the ones on deployment as well. Appropriate fodder for children? No. It would be a huge bore to them anyway. Yes, it's a soapy guilty pleasure for a Sunday night. :)

No Thanks! I live the Real Army Wives which is Nothing Like the Show!
As a military spouse, I do not like this show at all! It misleads the general public about what we really go through as military families. While it is fiction people actually having a hard time remembering that. I can't tell the amount of people who ask do you do that like on Army Wives? It's so annoying. I always say I don't watch that show and please remember it fiction. They also don't get a lot of facts about the military right either. Especially when it comes to FRG and Budget Rules!

A GREAT show.
I realy love this show. I think it mixes drama with a little comedy. Most of the wives are good role models and leaders. I reccomend this show to you if you are about 13 or older.

Army wives disrespectful soft porn
I was horrified as I watched the treatment of how Army wives and on-duty women are supposed to behave. A female Lt. Col having sex in a bathroom stall; a young wife who spilled on her dress walking around in the ladies room in a thong. Come on! If you want to show the lives of Army wives and women in the military, tell the story without cheap sex shots.

It will make you watch every sunday
I love the show and it finally puts out there the hardships that the wife has to go through while her husband or wife is away. I know because I had to give birth to my daughter while my husband was deployed in Iraq. It shows what we must do, and that we have to be strong for the other. Its hard to deal with deployment it shows that and makes you realize that bad things do happen over there. So all I can end with is Support our Troops and Pray for Their Safety!

Good show... With real issues. There are teens in it, 2 kids and it shows how they deal with the army.. Sex isnt explicit, it is implied.. They show lots of kissing and before/ after sex.. But it is tastefully done not as bad as half the shows out there tpray.

e.g. Perfect for older kids, but not for tweens
I think this is a great show for adults and teenagers. I tivo it and watch it while my daughter takes a nap.

Disappointment
As a real life Army wife, I was really disappointed with the show. Yes, the characters represented traditional Army wife stereotypes, but there were a TON of inconsistencies and situations that would NEVER happen. NOne of the characters represented the "Average" military wife.

No ok, just no, this is disrespectful to military families and being the sister of a deceased Marine, daughter of a Marine, cousin to a Marine, and having both grandfathers and various other family members who have served and protected this country, it upsets me when this is how these brave men and woman, and their families are portrayed. The infidelity, the sex shots, all of it, is just disrespectful and hurtful, my brother would roll over in his grave if he saw this.

Adults only
As a former Soldier and now an Army wife myself, I find that this is not a good representation of the Army life as a whole. It sends a negative message to younger viewers that may not be able to take it as fictional drama.

Sad and good show people how it goes!!!
i am a army wife... this movie so much show me how wives/husbands feeling and children feeling, my husband is currently in iraq and im takin care of our daugther 1 month old. I learn so much from that movie.. I think it should help wives/husbands who never have been before with army husband. It would 100% help wives/husbands who never been with army who delopyment to iraq. it helpful to watch and see how thing goes on. I hope everything would help new wives/husbands with their delpoyment husband/wives. support our troops and pray our troops safe!!
