There is a unlike button. Use it. I love the page.

For one, if you post the pictures on the internet, they no longer are really your personal property..everyone knows that. All you can do is tell someone to take the photo down, and if they comply its a kind act on their part. Furthermore: this article seems rather biased if you ask me...what about the people who support (other than the actual owners) the pages opinions? No? A one sided view only wins you so many supporters.

The website is designed to be satirical and poke fun at a lifestyle we all know exists. There are hard core do or die "military wives" and then there are the stereotypes we all make fun of. I don't see a problem with this page, it makes me laugh, and if someone posts something out of line the admins are on top of it. I don't get why they're making such a big deal about this. Why not go attack pedophiles and hate-groups. This is, as stated above, a satirical approach at the life of a military spouse.

I think OSMW hits to the core of those who meet and/or exceed the stereotypes portrayed.
-wives who wear husbands rank
-wives who pump out baby after baby
-wives who cheat
-wives who has spent the check before it arrives

I'm not offended by OSMW because I'm not that which is listed above. What I am for, is free speech.

GO NAVY and Stay Edumacated.

Come at me... prosecute me? Really... hahahahaha, you'll never shut this site down... we are the internet!

That is the dumbest thing i've ever heard. Seriously its facebook!? I should blame all the skinny girls for my over eating and cry about it. I think if he's gets triggered by anything its because of his crybaby wife.

LOL. Seriously? They're trying to get the Army involved with the problem because the very same stereotypical wives the page was made in reference to wants to throw a hissy fit? Ridiculous. Helloooo! The Army has more important things to deal with like I dunno... the war maybe? The page isn't responsible for what the members say to those stereotypical wives who like to rant and rave on the page. Stereotypes are OPINIONS! Everyone has a right to their opinion.

Whom ever posted as 6 Jayne is not me.

There are military spouses who do ridiculous things. Not all, but sadly a large number think they hold rank or entitlement being a military spouse. It leads to outlandish actions and words that we witness. We find humor and share our experiences with each other. People also get offended way to easily. Hence "Overly Sensitive". If you don't like the site...don't view it. Whining and complaining about being offended is just begging for attention. "I keep licking this battery and I keep getting shocked so we should outlaw 9V batteries all over the world!" Drink water, Drive on, and stop being an OSMW!

You guys are a joke the wives in this are crybabies if you don't like it stay off the site if your husband has soooooooo MANY ISSUES STAY OFF THE PAGE its the effin EASY as for Six and Kelly they are great and make us wives how can't knock other boo baby wives around feel better so leave the damn page alone!!!!!!!

I also am confused by this part of the article..."the picture was posted without her consent". The picture was not of her. She feels that a picture posted of her husband has to have HER consent? Does she really think it is illegal to post a picture of someone else on the internet without their consent? There are thousands of photos posted online of celebrities taken without their consent let alone their spouses consent. I think there should be a follow up story on "How celebrities deal with photography without consent and rumors" then send her a copy.

As a military spouse and prior service. I can say I have embraced at one point or another each of the stereotypes they discuss on this page. That is why it is funny! We point out ridiculous things we do each day. We laugh at ourselves. People come to this page out of curiosity and often judge it without understanding what it is. If I am quoted making fun of people with bumper stickers and Brag bags, I am probably talking about myself. This page does not seek anyone out to attack or bully. People insist on coming to this page and attacking the members of the page. They often attack their belief systems, their parenting abilities and their marriages. Then the runaway screaming as if they are a victim. It is pretty ridiculous. If anyone finds this page offensive, than they should not be a part of it. It is too simple.

FYI no one really eats babies.

Where is the ORIGINAL article that was so one sided?

OSMW FO' LIFE!

Really? It just goes to show that the wives they interviewed are who the page is about. What does the Army have to do with a FB page? If they don't like it, click the UNLIKE button and go have a Twinkie! I have been married to my AD spouse for 11 years, I love the page because it is the reality of how spouses are. I have spouses that try to use their husband's rank as a way to get what they want. I don't care if your husband is a COL or a MSG, you put your BIG girl panties on the same way the rest of us do. Although yours are probably much bigger than mine. Keep it going souless 6!

Wow.. I'm actually shocked to see that some Osmw is so but hurt about something that was said on the INTERNET !! Oh ya I forgot when you see it on facebook that makes it fb official.. Bahahaha as for shutting the site down I say no way. There are many military, and military spouses out there that love this page. Why would you want to take that away from the people that enjoy it ?? I'm sure we have all seen something on there at one time about us or about someone we know that is not true. Again it is the Internet, and not everything you read is true. Get over yourselves people if you don't agree that's fine, but you need to man/woman up, and either get over it or unlike the page.

Could you please link me to the story Mr. Hemstreet did about a wife who sold "bedroom enhancers" that help battle PTSD? Actually it may be helpful for for the unamed person in the above article too!

It's called freedom of speech. and let's see that milspouse prove that her husband was called a rapist. Does she have a screenshot? Cuz I have NEVER seen anything like that posted. This is an opinion piece. Not "news." If someone does not like the page...click the unlike button. No one will miss you. This page is nothing but a barrel of laughs and in many cases, cold, hard truth. Sorry, but we all know a dependa on at least one base.

Note: the husband, the one who actually has PTSD, is silent! It can be presumed that he has no problem with the page. The woman/women interviewed for this article just validated the existence of OSMW on FB. Good job, ladies, you've accomplished nothing but earning more fans/likes for OSMW. :)))

I actually have a lot in common with some of the wives on OSMW. And some of the things are funny. But, "6" is a coward, hiding behind a fake name. You people need to grow up. You are exactly the spouses you make fun of. And yes, cyber-bullying can hurt people, even if you don't understand it, can't understand it, or pretend other people don't have feelings at all. I don't think the page should be shut down at all. But they should really admit what they are - a bunch of bored, classless military spouses who entertain themselves at the expense of others - and move on.

@Rachel- 6 isn't a coward, it's common on facebook pages to use fake names, for whatever reason the person creating the page should so choose. Personal protection, nick names, to look cool, whatever. Of course some of us are what we make fun of! That's the point! To laugh at the stupid and annoying things we are ALL guilty of from time to time. There are girls that intentionally post pictures of their brag bags and laugh along with the comments that follow, we're all guilty of stepping out in a PT shirt we didn't earn, and before I was aware it was completely inappropriate I thought it was cute to wear my (at the time boyfriend's, presently husband's) patrol cap. I didn't know any better. It's informative, it's funny, and 99.9999% of the time A JOKE. A joke, lighten up, laugh, or unlike it and move on! There are worse things to attack out there than a facebook page. Kids getting cyber bullied, that's a big deal. Kids take things to heart. Adults should be able to let things roll off and laugh along, and know better than to keep reading if they're offended. It's not that hard of a concept to grasp.

OKay so it was me, still you'll never find out who i am... try and fail... the page lives on.

Six, is not a spouse, she is a thirty something Officer in the Airforce---

6 is definitely a coward. She hides behind a fake name to make fun of people. If you have to hide, then you definitely know what you are doing is inherently wrong. Also, she probably should be afraid because she probably could be investigated at the very least. It will be interesting to watch and see what happens. It's a shame to throw away your career to sit on a page and make fun of other women. For me, it is really sad to see women tearing each other down. An interesting note, 6 banned me from the page and all I did was comment on her marital status.

Yall have lost your damn minds. If you are hurt but the page maybe you should look at yourself and why it bothers you so much....

"6" is short for her name, Six. Maybe you should judge the group based on more than just a glance.

People need to get the facts before they start whining and spewing idiotic accusations. You go on a page and see one little thing that offends you and you want to go crying to anybody and everybody that will listen. It's pathetic. If you actually READ the description of the page, you will see that it's not what the whiners are making it out to be. As for the fans of the page who make fun of somebody just for their looks, that's on them. Six is not a babysitter, but she does not tolerate people bashing just for the sake of bashing. Here are some facts for you:
1. Yes, her name REALLY is Six. She doesn't hide behind a fake profile. She has pictures of herself all over her personal page and she talks about where she is stationed.
2. She's in the Army, not the Air Force
3. Grow up and quit whining

And you wonder why there's stereotypes....GET OVER IT!

If you get so offended by a post on FB then it might be because the shoe fits. Love you 6!

As I recall from my English classes, an article is an informed piece of literature that shows both sides of the topic. An opiniated piece of literature is not an article but a smear campaign. Why is everyone so upset about a page on facebook? Come on! People should be more concerned about our soldiers' safety and well being rather than a public forum. If people are so upset about it stop looking at it or commenting about it. Next time your paper writes an article make sure you research and not publish false information or better yet hire some new "journalists". I have read better articles in high school newspapers.

Someone someday will figure out these very simple points.

-Writing an article like this will drive people TO the page
-If you don't like something, don't look at it.

Have you ever said, "Hey, this movie looks horrible, lets go see it!"

No! Why? Because you didnt want to see it, so you didnt. There are groups on the internet that say things along the lines of "All soldiers should die for what they do"...no that's not made up. Are you a part of their group? Do you write against them? No...nobody does.

Just leave people to their opinions and let it be. There are far more things in life to worry about. Enjoy your kids, your spouse, your family, friends and your life. THAT is what really matters. If a facebook page is that much of a problem for you, then there are far more serious problems in your life than the OSMW page.

Actually, for those of you saying 6 is a coward hiding behind a fake name. You are wrong yet again. Six is her legal, given name! You fail. She doesn't hide behind anything. Also, she's not in the Airforce, she is in the Army. It is Kel who is Airforce, and she is no longer part of the page. So get off your high horses, and get over yourselves. If you don't like the page. Get over it, and unlike it. SIMPLE!

I'm a veteran, and I've been married to an active duty service member for 6 years....OSMW provides much need comic relief to the stress of military life. Get over yourselves, the page, and those who support 6 and her crew. WE ARE ALL OSMWs to some degree.

I love the page

It's just satire and that photo was never on OSMW

Actually 6, Six Jayne, Six Jane can be found on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook. She has not only the Overly Sensitive Military Wives group but OSMW Backdoor, Against the Against the Overly Sensitive Military Wives, and OS Tinker Wives on Facebook as well. She goes by 6 because she knows full well that being an active duty soldier stationed at Fort Riley she could be prosecuted if it was brought to her Chain of Command's attention along with the Commander of the post. Its not because she is using her First Amendment but that as a US Army soldier she is tearing other spouses down while also stereo-typing them. Furthermore instructing her members to take pictures or people they find shopping at the Commissary or Wal-Mart to post onto their page is a violation of privacy. Posting fake ads in the personals section of Craig's List only to then post those who respond to those ads on her groups pages is fraud because she is mis-representing herself in the ads. She uses a cell phone number to respond to the ads. She hides behind the number 6 because she knows if she actually posted her true identity she would have a lot to lose. Also from what those who are in her group are saying is that she is connected to CID. I know she was TDY to Fort Drum because she posted she was going "Northeast where there are water buffalo in abundance". Really? Is that how you refer to the local military community let alone those who live on base?

Just so you're all aware what 6 has done is not illegal. Could she be sued in a civil court? yes. Criminal? No. I know what 6 does and she's not so stupid to put herself in that position. And for her to lose a civil suit, well whoever is suing her would have to prove what she has said is untrue. Sounds to me like someone needs to get the sand out of their vagina, and let her husband fight his own battles if he chooses to do so.

six is awesome. bout time somebody had the cajones to say what she does. the osmw's who get offended should know... the truth hurts.

The page started out as a place where the admins posted pictures their fans took of fat wives on base. They were the "wing women" of naive military men who need to be protected from tag chasers and lazy wives. Female service member fans claimed they could use their work privileges to gain background information on people who commented against them (screen shot). Though that group is a lot more tame now, they still perpetuate the stereotype of a harpy woman that cannot get along with their sex regardless their status unless they're bringing down other women and boosting men. It all leads to pointless bickering and it's very funny.

First of all, can ANYONE explain to me how PTSD factors into this? The lady in this article makes it sound like one comment could push someone with PTSD right over the edge. If a comment like "Just once, I wish WebMD would tell me "relax...it's only gas"." pushes you over the edge to suicide, I think there were probably other underlying mental issues. (That is literally a DIRECT quote from the page, sorry 6 for copying without permission. Or should I have asked your husband? LOL) And if someone doesn't like the content of the page they don't have to read it. By taking it down, it would be taking away one of the few ways for people affiliated with the military to vent anonymously. We are entitled to free speech as well! We defend the right for everyone to say what they want, and yet we are restricted on the things we can say. People in the military give up some of their rights to defend the rights of people who like to complain about us or the things we talk about. And lets be honest, a page with that many fans didn't get that way by having opinions that no one agrees with. Obviously 13,000+ people agree with the things that are posted on the page or at least like having a place to talk about the uglier side of military life.

Regarding the people who "know" her and are defending her. Six is NOT her real name, she does NOT serve in the military. Any pictures you saw of her were stolen. Those who have served have access to an online database. You can look up any person in any branch. No on exists with the name Six jane or jayne, or Alesix or Sixta which are also hispanic versions of the name. She is an imposter and it is sad because she actually tells military stories, but they're all made up.

I love OSMW. It's taught me not to be "that" spouse. If you're offended, you are probably "that" spouse. So stop it!

LOVE IT! If you're stupid enough to post things on the internet, you can't get offended when people use it for entertainment

I support this page not cause I am a bully but because I see for my self the way some ladies treat their spouse and its sicking. This page just proves that the thing woman do when their spouse is away is true and that its not right. I have always been told that if someone gets mad over something they see or hear they are guilty of it 95% of the time.

Alex, Six is not Hispanic.

There is an unlike button. If you really don't like what you see then look somewhere else. It is really funny how sensitive some military wives can be. I personally love the page. It really does show the side of the military that no one sees.

This article is absurd!! The site is fun, funny and stress relieving! There are PLENTLY more out there that are much worse....the only difference? Its not over-entitled 'super special military wives' bitching about em. STFU and unlike or click away. The more these dumb asses bitch about it...the more attention the page gets!! Counter productive for them!! Oh, and 6 says NO NAMES. AT ALL...EVER. The ONLY time anyone is 'outed' is when the 'offending posts 'subject comes forward bitching about it THEIR OWN SELVES. Typical...this site was made to laugh at the VERY PEOPLE bitching about it...BECAUSE of their beliefs that just because THEY dont like it, the whole thing needs shut down. Does this make ANY sense to anyone??? Pull up your panties ladies and look away.....Jesuz....

Six is an imposter? So, the lady I saw/spoke to, at Fort Riley, that looked JUST LIKE HER PICS, in Army ACU's, wasn't her? Hmmm...She knew exactly what I was talking about when I mentioned OSMW and how much I LOVED the page. I am also friends with her on her personal page. Hmmm...

There is nothing wrong in what OSMW is doing. What I've seen on her page is not illegal, its what some of the spouses and military soliders admit in doing is questionable. They need to be investigated for their actions not OSMW. It sounds to me that they are upset because they know they did something wrong maybe illegal and didnt want to get in trouble for it. So dont "brag" how you illegally frauded the government (tricare and contract marriage) and how you cheated on your military spouse with another military solider ( cheating can get you in trouble just so you know). Maybe OSMW and evryone else wouldn't tease you over your ignorant actions. *on a side note your facebook account is not as private as you want it to be. If you are friends with some one they will go and talk about your business to other people on their page and eventually you get caught.*

I love the site. I will say that I think at times, 6 can be a bit of a hypocrite. (don't talk about her kids or her loved ones, or she gets butthurteded, but she will talk about your's as she sees fit.) Either way, I get a few laughs out of it daily. Trying to shut it down under UCMJ? Suck a cock.

@Ann Marie...so I take it you've never been to the people of walmart website. And if you have, do you rally to the support of the people who unknowingly get their picture taken and then have it blasted all over the internet? And I was hoping that maybe you could screen shot the post where 6 asks us all to take pictures and send them in. I love the OSMW page and while I don't comment on everything, I find the majority of it funny. Last I checked, she specifically mentions that 90% of the things we see on the page are submitted by people who want to give us all a good laugh. Are we now to find them all and prosecute them under some sort of privacy violation act?
As for everything else, this page was created to make people laugh. When I'm having a bad day, I know that 6 will always make me laugh. If you troll her page looking to find stuff offensive so you can report it, then there's actually something wrong with you. If you choose to be offended by something that's on there, um, Facebook gave you an out. It's called an "unlike" button. Use it, don't come back to the page. Stop making trouble because you're bored or whatever the reason is. Keep it up 6, and know that there are more people that got your back than there are that want to stab it.

I am a long time Army wife (24 years) and I grew up as an Air Force brat. I absolutely LOVE the OSMW page--it's a highly creative satirization of military life. Do some of the commenters get carried away? Sometimes they do...but come on, if you have been around any branch of the military for any length of time, you've seen all the bad behavior the page satirizes. If the page offends you, relief is but a click away--unlike and move on with your life!

Suffering from PTSD myself from 3 combat tours in iraq, on a heavy list of medications in conjunction with talking to a therapist twice a week, Weekly, I as a human being have free will, to avoid my triggers, or my dislikes, if you don't have control of wether you read letters on a page or texts on a machine, then you have a problem, and may want to get it checked out, your life is what YOU make of it, let people have they're chatter and fun when and where they can, unless they're THREATENING YOU DIRECTLY, OR PHYSICALLY AT THAT? Leave it alone otherwise. and be a mature, responsible, adult human being.

The site needs taken down. Overall - it's a hate page. It's a bunch of women, sitting around on their bums gossiping, spreading lies and hatred. Women who feel the need to down others to make themselves feel superior. It's a very, very sad page. I feel sorry for all of the women who post on it as well as their families. How miserable they must all be. I'd love to know the divorce statistics for the women who shamelessly follow such nonsense. I imagine it must be very high. After all, who could truly love or respect a woman who has to go to such pathetic lengths to gain self esteem. They are the exact women that they hate on. Tsk. Tsk.

We must shut this site down! There are no sites on the internet that are rude, crude or offensive except this one. Because I am offended it must be stricken immediately because the constitution guarantees me the right to not be offended. How dare they think free speech extends to them!

One post of ANYTHING can trigger PTSD... if they have it that bad, they should either stay off that page, or better yet, stay off the internet... not trying to be mean, but i havent seen anything on that page that i would think would trigger ptsd... if you are that sensitive, dont look at it. No one is forcing people to look at that page, and read the usually hilarious stuff on it...

All I have to say is OSMW fb page has brought me laughter when things were tight or rough, and that I am guilty or have been guilty of many of the things we laugh about. But I really feel the need to point out that most of OSMW's posts aren't so negative. Most are one liners like " Girl On Fire by Alicia Keyes would be a great theme song for a Vagisil commercial" Which is brilliantly funny. Maybe once and awhile she will take screen shots, but she always blacks out names and most locations. Also many times she does things that really save lives, money, and protects people. I have seen her post Amber alerts (missing person/children reports), post PTSD and Suicide awareness posts,. Also bring people up to speed on scams like Catfishing, using FB as false panhandling, and personal ads/dating profiles of scammers. The official FB posts made by OSMW are very rarely offensive, although many who comment can take things too far, Six herself is incredible. I applaud her and the page for bringing true humor to myself, my friends, and my husband. (I REALLY love the one liners! I steal them and use them on my hubby and friends!)

OSMW is a very hostile page who deliberately targets those who are overweight and dressed a certain way that the admin doesn't approve of. It is also very demeaning towards women (particularly military wives) and pokes fun of those for their outward appearance. It is a troll fest, where a lot of like-minded bullies come together to tear others apart. They stop at nothing and sufficiently meet the standards of cyber-bullying. Not only is taking someone's picture without their knowledge or permission a violation to that individual's privacy, it's a form of harassment. Without question, this group oversteps boundaries that should never be crossed. Don't play their game and help get them off of FB. It's time the admins get a life and let others live theirs peacefully.
