A person who is married to someone in the service who doesn't just depend on their spouse for financial support, but pretty much relies on them for it. They start out all
cute and All-American until after the wedding, then it's
like cookies, couch and coach purses. Arguing with other dependas over Facebook all
day over who's the bigger dependa. They're generally not educated and have no goals or aspirations in life. They live their lives through their husband's successes and think they
rank and are better than "civilians" when they themselves are in face...still civilians.
You can usually find them at the PX and/or commissary
like a herd of cattle during every
pay period blowing their spouse's paycheck on oreos, Coach and Michael Kors and then complaining 2 days after "they" got paid that they're
broke and need someone to deliver them
free diapers for their 6th baby. (also see "dependa-twat", "dependasaurus" and "dependapotomus")
-"My
husband and I just got married last month, what are some websites that give free stuff to military wives?"
--"Shut up dependa."
-"I got married to My
Marine, he's going to take care of me now. No more working at Taco
Bell for this girl!"
