Roland and Claudia Joy in “Command Presence”

There's a big difference between being a soldier's spouse and a commander's spouse. Seriously. You ever get tired of it? The responsibility?

[sighs] Sometimes. It's a constant balancing act between your needs, your spouse's needs and the Army's needs. As far as Uncle Sam's concerned, you're an extension of Joan's office.

Right. It's not what I signed up for, Claudia Joy. Making small talk with dignitaries is not exactly my idea of a good time.

Get used to it.
