Get ready, folks, because coming soon to your televisions is… Military Wives of San Diego! Pardon me while I go hurl into my trash can.
You fell in love with a man in uniform, in fact, you’re married to the military. Behind every man stands a great woman, none more so than the man in service to his country. Military wives will celebrate these unsung heroes that are also making the sacrifice, spending their nights alone, holding down the fort on home soil.
Doron Ofir Casting is recruiting a group of extraordinary women who share the joys and burdens that come along with choosing a relationship with the enlisted. If your life as a military wife is worthy of being shared with millions you should apply.
This brand new DocuSeries offers the unprecedented opportunity to document your lifestyle as you navigate the complicated journey of being in a relationship with or married to the military. From deployments to homecomings, enlisted men to officers, the newly engaged to recently divorced, Military Wives aims to celebrate the true story behind love and life with the military.
What kind of women are they looking for, exactly?
“…a group of extraordinary women who share the joys and burdens that come along with choosing a relationship with the enlisted. Whether you’re up all night worrying or out all night partying, we want to hear your stories. We’re looking for six brazen stars for our long form docu-soap about your lives on and off the base.”
I’m curious why there seems to be such an emphasis on enlisted wives. Do they think we’re trashier or something and would make for better television? I only ask because clearly, they’re going for the sleaze. And I guess to them, that means enlisted wives. Nice.
So they want six “brazen” stars to be featured in a “docu-soap”? Oh, I can just imagine the people who will be featured on this show now. There’s the alcoholic wife who hits up all the bars. The rank-wearing bitch will be there, as will be the OPSEC violator who can’t keep her mouth shut and gets her husband in trouble. There will be the skanky wife who cheats on her husband (because it is just so hard with him being gone all the time), and the wife whose husband has PTSD. And then, of course, there will be the catty wife who talks about all the other wives behind their backs.
This show is such a horrible idea that its making my head spin. The fact that the title was made to sound similar to “The Real Housewives” shows was, I’m sure, on purpose and I’m also sure is indicative of the kind of show they’re going to be airing. This is also the same casting company that brought us “Jersey Shore”. Awesome.
The sad thing is, they will undoubtedly have no problem finding their six women looking to cash in on their husbands’ military service to get fame. And I haven’t seen that be brought up yet — that’s what these wives will be doing. They’re using their husbands’ service to their country and exploiting it to get fame. Whoever does end up on this show should be ashamed of themselves. And they’re representing all of us, every single military wife out there. The difference is that most of us don’t go bar-hopping every night while our husbands are deployed, or keep a Jody on standby, or whatever dramatic, sleaze-filled scenarios this show will present. But that’s how America is going to see us now. They’re looking for, in their own words, brazen women who party all night. Its going to be a train wreck, and what’s worse, all of us military wives will be painted by their brush. Its despicable.
This show will be looking for drama, and let’s face it, us hard-working wives who keep our heads down, hold down the home fort, and love and support our husbands with every fiber of our beings just don’t make good television.

This is the reason I hated the show “Army Wives” (fiction or not). Civilians assumed that show portrayed real life. Now, here we go with the reality bull. I find it very hard to believe since the Marine Corps units on Camp Pendleton refused to participate (or allow families to partake) in the family oriented show “Coming Home”, that they well approve of a family participating in this show. Like it or not ladies, the Corps approves, disapproves, and treats your husband accordingly to your actions as well. There is at least a little bit of respect and formality left in the Corps. Thank God for that.

I agree with you 100%+……..can’t believe this is going to be shown…..like Army Wives (a fictional drama) wasn’t bad enough………
