I just finished reading both stories. They were wonderful stories and very well written. I hope that you will continue with "My Military Family". I think everyone who has read the stories would like to see a continuation of the family and their reactions.
Thank you for a great story.

Both stories are very well done. Please ignore the criticism and continue with the story line. I am retired military and envy Linda her opportunity. Love & Kisses  Carolyn Renee

Love your stories, and as retired career military, can readily identify.  Eagerly awaiting "the rest of the story!"  WELL DONE!!!!-Sharlee

As a retired military person I can relate to this story..said with tongue in cheek :-).  It has a plausable story line for what could happen in the military.   Your depiction of the true military wife hits the nail right on the head.  I really enjoyed both stories and find myself waiting for the rest of the story.

Both are very well done stories. Almost (I hope almost) believable.
Make it into a screenplay and have Hollywood make a movie out of it.

Enjoyed both stories and, yes, criticisms aside, felt it was a credible alternative to many of the story lines put forward.  (Doesn't anybody get sick of the humiliation stuff?)

The visualization of the inspection scene was wonderful: contrast of uniform and indulgence, sweet fear of being caught and now knowing that Carol, the wife, knew as was watching all along.

Very curious where it will go from here.

Thanks.  Sally.

I had hope for a sequal and this one was well worth the wait. Keep up such wonderful writing.

Okay, Robyn!  

Nice followup story.  Fills in some of the holes from the first one - especially enjoyed the inspection scene.  Lord, I hated those.  To all of those who have not experienced the joys of standing at attention for hours in a hot sun with the sweat dripping off of you;  it is hard to wax lyrical over your Navy issue uniform.  That said I certainly understand their desire for more info.  (Give it to them Robyn, you're the expert!)  I really, really loved your personification of Carol.  Perfect characterization of the Navy spouse who has to take over while the service member is gone on a six month deployment.  They become capable and independent or get a divorce!!

"Military Intelligence" was a very credible first story (but the criticisms were valid)and I believe you have improved with "My Military Family".  If you need proofreader let me know.  I look forward to the continuation of this story.
