I didnOCOt even know how to address the commander or his wife!OCO Corbett decided to OC wing it, OCO rationalizing that since her husband was OC justOCO a Guardsman she wasnOCOt a OC realOCO military wife. After all, military spouses lived on bases, operated within a strict structure of rank, and dealt with long deployments. Thank goodness she didnOCOt have to worry about those things! On September 11, 2001, everything changed. Since that horrific act of war, virtually every unit of the National GuardOCoa force the size of the entire active ArmyOCohas served on active duty for one or more deployments at home or abroad.
