I happened to be on Facebook this morning and came across a post on Army Wives Network that talked about Household 6. I have often heard Army people use this term but never really new where the term came from.
What is Household 6?
A military man’s wife. The head of the household. The one that keeps up with the arduous tasks of washing uniforms, picking up smelly PTs, going to the commissary and PX, raising the children, packaging care packages…you get our drift! A HH6 is the one in charge of everything!
The name is derived from where said wife spends most of her time (the household), and the number 6 is the designation for a commander of a Company/Troop, Battalion/Squadron, Brigade/Regiment, Division or Corps.
Used in a sentence – “I’d really love to go with you on the hunting trip, but household 6 pulled my weekend pass.”
Now it all makes sense!
