Ever been in a situation where you want to say something to someone but cant because you don’t want to make your spouse look bad? That’s literally me ALL THE TIME. I tend to speak before I think and I’m so terrified that doing so will get my husband in trouble lol.
So, I work on base, not going to say where, but I am the type of person who sees everyone as an individual person, I don’t see Military members for their rank, I see them for the person they are. Well, we used to have one SNCO who would come in and be SOOO rude and basically use his rank to get his way. I swear when he would come in, it would take everything in my power not to look him straight in the eye and ask who he really thinks he is…like HELLO, i’m not enlisted, your rank means nothing to me. I was however, always nice to him and had at times asked him to please settle down and that he would be helped in a timely manner…But, again, it comes down to me saying something out the way to this person and whether or not it gets back to my husbands chain of command that his wife is CRAZY.
What would you do? How would you handle this situation?

I would find out of his chain of command and talkednto nem about his behavior. Can you imagine if he threat you like this how he treats young Airman? Maybe his chain needs to know to keep on eye on him . In the other hand maybe you can do a little background checking and see if something bad has happened with him and he is coping this way. Don’t let anyone talk down on you. They know better . They are certainly not your boss.

Ugh, girl this is me on a daily basis. I think the road rage gets me the most.
In this particular situation, however, I would probably DROWN him in kindness, and as you know that’s not my usual approach to anything. Since you don’t want your negative approach to reflect on your husband, give him an outlandish positive one. “Yes sir, I serve everyone as promptly and efficiently as I can so no one is left out and feels less important.”
