My husband was already a career military officer when I married him, and I knew that there would be some separations in our future. We had a rather whirlwind courtship, but I did stress how important fidelity is to me before I accepted his proposal. I love him and I trust him...but I guess after reading about sailors on liberty, I'm glad he's in a different branch of the service. :-) Fair enough.

I think most of us can be proud of who were were most of the time. I think it's fair to say that not everyone was always perfect, and I'm not sure that the service made that any worse than it otherwise might have been, and it's been fairly pointed out that the opportunities at least to stray are greater for "those we left behind" than they are for those who spend most of their time at sea. I don't know how much better or worse it is compared to "normal" people who travel for the work, or go to conventions and trade shows and the like. I'd like to think not worse, but I really can't say. Hiya Kristen. I think most of us can be proud of who were were most of the time.

You are a very fine writer and I've printed out and passed around some of your entries to friends with military experience, who enjoyed them as much as I do. But...some of your recollections combined with your guest-writer's make rather depressing reading for women with husbands who deploy every so often.
