Did you hear about that Bravo Company FRG meeting?
You mean the great doughnut meltdown? It was all over post.
Poor Min-Ji. She's always had trouble with that FRG but it happens sometimes. Bad chemistry.
I don't believe in bad chemistry. I believe in good leadership.
I wouldn't judge Min-Ji too harshly. This isn't her native culture and, well, it's hard to wrangle a bunch of self-absorbed twenty-year-old's.
I agree, but the fact is, they need a new FRG leader. Somebody to "kick butt" and take names. Know anyone?
[thinks] Actually...I do.
[Later at the LeBlanc home]
Why not? You'd make a great leader.
Shark bait, you mean. You should've been there, Denise. They ate that poor woman alive.
I know. It's not the easiest group.
Are you kidding?! They're horrible!
They just need to be led.
Yeah. Off a cliff! What about Captain Brunson's wife?
Erm...Captain Brunson is between wives. That's why Min-Ji took the job. Her husband is the XO.
Well, who's like, "assistant XO"?
There is no "assistant XO". The next in line are platoon leaders and that's you. You're an officer's wife, Roxy. That means more responsibility.
Yes. I get it. Look, I would love to help. But with the kids and The Hump Bar––
I will help. And so will Jackie. She really wants to meet you, by the way.
Yeah. Well, I don't want to meet her.
Oh come on. I know you got a bad first impression but she's a great person. And she could be an important contact for you. [Roxy looks at her curiously] Being an FRG leader could help Trevor's career.
Hmm, hadn't thought about that. [looks at Denise] You really think I could do it?
[smiles] I know you can. And right now, the Army needs you.
Wow, that's something I never expected to hear.
I'm really proud of you, babe.
I just hope you're not taking on too much.
I don't think so. And besides, I like helping your career.
Well, Denise said that Jackie Clarke could be a good contact for me and being an FRG leader could help you.
Yeeeaahh...ok...but it goes both ways, Rox.
Well, that whole doughnut thing the other day? LT Webster is in the doghouse with the Captain because of that.
Why?? I told you it wasn't Min-Ji's fault. The other women were horrible to her.
Doesn't matter. Guy can't keep it together at home, how's he supposed to lead on the field.
[in disbelief] That is so unfair.
So what you're saying is "no pressure but don't screw up".
Yeah, pretty much. [kisses Roxy]
Calm down, sweetheart. I am sure Denise didn't mean to hurt your feelings.
Maybe not. Just that FRG Nazi Jackie Clarke. Wants everyone to be her little clone.
I wouldn't be too hard on Jackie either.
Because I happen to agree with her.
Not you, too. What does my hem line have to do with being an FRG leader??
A lot, actually. [Roxy looks at her in frustration] Things change when your husband becomes an officer, Roxy.
Yeah. Your friends think you're an embarrassment.
This isn't about you. This is about being part of something that's bigger than you. An officer's uniform commands respect. Same thing being an officer's wife. How you dress makes a statement.
You know, I didn't sign up for the Army. Trevor did.
[smiles understandingly] That doesn't cut it and you know it. When you married Trevor, you married into the Army.
Yeah, well, I never saw this coming.
[...]
Whatever you decide, don't let the prospect of a longer dress or shorter heels stop you.
You'll always be the same Roxy underneath. Nothing can change that, thank God.
[Roxy is dressing up for the encasing ceremony]
[whistles] Lookin' good, babe.
[grins] Hard to believe it's really you.
[glares at him] What is that supposed to mean???
[stunned] Nothing...uh..it was...it was a compliment.
You didn't like the way I looked before?
All I meant was...I'm just, you know, not used to seeing you this way. [awkwardly] Can I take the boot out of my mouth now?
Well, it's still the same me underneath. You wanna see?
