Hooahh! Good job with school. Looking at your previous posts, it may not be your husband's competitiveness as much as his insecurity and feelings of inadequacy, which by the way, have nothing to do with you. Let's face it. You're an O2, O3? He's an E4. You got a ROTC Commission. He dropped out of OCS. You're in law school and doing well. He has not finished his Bachelors. He may be more embarrassed in front of your freinds than anything else. None of which by the way, is about you. It's about his inadequacy. That's an "individual Soldier skill." Maybe the OW makes him feel more in control, more "adequate", whatever than means. Stay the course Michelle. Have you been here in Iraq yet?
