Remind me: what's the term for the GF/spouse back stateside, collecting checks and side pieces while the soldier's deployed?
Tricareatops, Dependapotamous, I’m sure there are a few more
Apparently the current slang is dependa and is focused mostly on the benefits. This one is new to me.
There was a different one I heard as a kid that was focused more on the cheating than the benefits, but I can't remember what that one was.
That one is jodie
Jody is the guy who steals your girl while you're deployed
