Getting Married in/directly after TBS

Very well. In my opinion, which probably doesn't mean anything to anyone on this forum, the home is the foundation of this country. If we want to see it rebuilt it has to start at the home and go up from there. Just an idea. What are EP's?

Villanelle is spot on.

<--- Speaks from experience.

EPs are emergency procedures for your aircraft.

And yes, if a woman gives you any inclination that she'd suck in a divorce, it's a STRONG warning sign.

You think I was planning on divorce when I got married? Nope. But if I'd gone with the thought of "man, this chick will be a beast in a divorce" it would have made me think more about here bad personality tendencies, and not get married in the first place.

-She always wanted "what's due to her" bet it grades, etc.. Well, that translates into she thinks you are her money source for life, even if you divorce. You can live in a car, she don't care.
-Did not deal well with being told something's her fault... Well, she got told in court, it was her fault for abusing drugs and sleeping around.

The list could go on, but you get the idea. Just as a thought experiment.. Ask yourself how they would act in a divorce. Even if they initiated it, and were at fault.

Ridehard, how does that in any way contradict what I'm suggesting? I want people to be thoughtful when selecting a spouse, and to avoid building a "foundation" with someone who has a wicked vindictive streak or entitlement complex. But hey, if you want to create a home with some like that, good luck!

My point with mentioning EP's was that just because you practice emergency procedures in an aircraft doesn't make an emergency any more likely to occur. It means is that you will have a better chance of a good outcome when something goes wrong. If you don't think the same logic applies to a marrage that's cool. Go ahead and flip a coin though because 50/50 is the best odds you are going to get in a marrage and that's without being in the military.

We're on the same page here gents. I was simply saying that "make sure to marry someone you would want to divorce," implied the beginning to an end. I understand the main point though. Any legitimate advice on a Christmas wedding during TBS for a guy marrying a woman he wouldn't mind divorcing?

It's been a long time (I was in Frozen Fox back in '98), but I seem to remember that we left like Wednesday the 23rd and came back the first Monday after the 1st of Jan. And we were allowed to go in the hole for leave...

Wow, you have a good memory. All I remember about TBS is that my six-month sentence was extended to nearly seven months (seven months of my life that I'll never get back, that is) due to the Christmas break.

Just spit-balling here, of course, and really...who cares what I think? BUT...if, during the contemplation of marriage...even one tiny nugget of "the whole divorce thing" enters into your mental calculus...well, you've just answered your most basic question...and don't go there. I was luckier...and it never entered my mind.

Hear, hear!

"The whole divorce thing" never entered my mind, and eight years (and TBS...and flight school...and deployments) later, Mrs. KBay and I have never been happier.

So much so, that KBay Jr. (or Jr-ette...we're making our first a surprise) will make his AW debut September.

Oh god.. KBay is spawning! I'm getting re-married.. The end times are truly near!

What's next? Phrogpilot73 flying an Osprey?

Yeah, right - and Grizzly Adams had a beard.

Congrats. "The Force Is Strong In This One..."

I'm the dude that remembers totally random shit. But not the good totally random shit, aka the stuff that makes you a big winner on Jeopardy...

Actually, Grizzly Adams DID have a beard...

But no, I'm never going to fly the Osprey.

Kbay - just remember, that yellowish-brown stain you'll eventually find on the side of your hand - it's not mustard...

Yea and if it's a boy wear shooting glasses too. Those litte suckers will squirt you right in the eye when you least expect it.

The key to divorce is being young and broke.

KBay spawning? What's the world coming to?

But in all seriousness, congrats.

Not really. I was young, and I was broke... Didn't work out so well. The key to divorce is not marrying a manatee.

If you're young and NOT broke...you sure as h*ll will be after the divorce(s)! What? Oh, you're welcome ex-Mrs. BusyBee(s).

We're done.
