If you\'re seeing two\\xa0Navy Wife episodes in your aggregator, this is the one that doesn\'t have a bunch of weird audio problems!\\xa0 We couldn\'t figure out how else to make sure that people set to automatically download episodes would get the corrected version once we replaced the file - our apologies.

Life comes at you fast!\\xa0 When we recorded this episode focusing on the military and talking a great deal about our choices abroad we had no idea it was going to come out at the exact same time as our withdrawal from Afghanistan. Here are some ways to help people in Afghanistan and refugees arriving in the United States.\\xa0If you served in Afghanistan, know that we\'re thinking about you and about how hard and complicated this is.

So!\\xa0 Debbie Macomber\'s\\xa0Navy Wife, first in her Navy series.\\xa0 She\'s trying to cure her broken heart by moving cross country to sublet her brother\'s apartment!\\xa0 He\'s in love with the sea but is cockblocked by mechanical issues on an aircraft carrier!\\xa0 They get married after knowing each other for\\xa0two weeks\\xa0and guess what maybe that wasn\'t the world\'s best idea but USA! USA! USA!\\xa0 No major trigger warnings here except of course for American hegemony and the military industrial complex.

Oh and I promised you - military tiaras!\\xa0 Full mess dress in the 50\'s had tiaras for female soldiers, sailors, and Marines and you can see one here, from the Smithsonian.

Update:\\xa0looks like the Navy just retired the tiara\\xa0(along with the seriously cool boat cloak) as "optional" uniform accessories in 2016.\\xa0 Which is crazy because I promise you I\'d wear it all the time.\\xa0 With the boat cloak.\\xa0 I\'d be the flyest lady admiral-type you\\xa0ever\\xa0saw.

Update to update: looks like you can still tiara it up if you\'re wearing your NOAA Corps uniform!\\xa0\\xa0This is a boring PDF but I offer it as proof. AND NOW FOR THE WEATHER!
