First impressions go a LONG way!

So exactly a week ago, a comment was made towards me and my husband that has stuck with me since. It has literally eaten at me, and picked my brain apart. If you know me well, you know that I'm a complete OVER analyzer, if I don't quite understand something, I'll think about it, until I figure it out, or until I finally give up (which at that point it will have completely driven me insane) And really, I realize this'll probably bother me until I get the opportunity to address it, and since that most likely will NOT happen, I'm going to vent it out on here, if not I may just explode.

I won't get into great detail, as the specifics will give it away who I was with, and I'm not trying to upset anyone, although my feelings were hurt. Rank was brought up, and it was mentioned that Jon was of higher rank, and another wife said "not by choice". Now She has met me at this point maybe four times, and obviously knows nothing of my husband-as I certinaly haven't discussed anything about him to her (someone must've!) so for her to try to discredit my husband pissed me off. I mean I can't believe it's been a week and I'm still furious. My husband and kids are a hot subject for me, so talk about them, especially when you don't know ANYTHING about them, and you're going to get on my nerves. I'm still trying to understand what that means, other then maybe he "didn't deserve picking up rank".
To clarify, yes my husband picked up rank when he LAT moved, without having to submit a package. But guess what, he picked up out've the BELOW zone. The Marine Corp went through TWO OTHER ZONES before getting to my husband. To get picked out've the below zone must mean you're pretty much a big deal ;o) Thats me jokingly being cocky! But in all honesty, you have to be the tip of the iceberg. So yea, hear me say it: My husband is a badass, and you're welcome to feel JEALOUS, because obviously thats all it is! I never talk about rank, or make a big deal out've it, but apparently a lot of people I've come across seem to throw it in my face, which only makes me think you have a problem with it.

It's completely ridiculous to say he picked up rank but "not by choice". I'm pretty sure EVERYONE that wants to pick up rank, picks it up by choice. My husband has never gotten in trouble, works hard at everything he does, and always excels with the highest of scores. He went up against Marines that had been in for 13 years, they got bypassed while my husband didn't. Jons an amazing Marine & leader. He's not some douchebag that doesn't deserve it. If he didn't deserve it, he wouldn't have gotten it, ESPECIALLY without putting in a package!

I'm so proud of my husband and everything he has accomplished.

WOOSAH I feel SO much better!
