Army Wives
Army Wives is set at the fictional Fort Marshall in Charleston, South Carolina, home to the also fictional 23rd Airborne Division. Presumably based on the actual 82nd Airborne Division based at Fort Bragg.
Roxy impetuously decides to marry PFC Trevor LeBlanc and moves with her two kids to his army post. Floundering in her new life as an Army wife, she takes a job bartending at a local joint known for being a Jody bar.
While on the post, Roxy meets Claudia Joy Holden, who believes that her husband COL Michael Holden’s promotion didn’t come through because of base politics. Another army wife, Pamela Moran, is heavily pregnant with twins – she’s secretly acting as a surrogate to get her family out of debt.
Meanwhile, psychiatrist Roland Burton is trying to reconnect with his wife, LTC Joan Burton, who has just returned from Afghanistan. Then there’s Denise Sherwood, who is dealing with her son Jeremy’s anger-management issues as her strict husband, MAJ Frank Sherwood, is about to be deployed.
The unlikely group bonds when Pamela unexpectedly goes into labor at Claudia Joy’s wives’ tea party and subsequently gives birth on the pool table in the bar where Roxy works. Not wanting everyone to know her family’s dire financial situation, Pamela relies on these new friends to keep her surrogacy from being exposed.
