That kind of online "entertainment" is usually purchased for $29.95 per month. If you are only getting singles, then consider yourself cheated...:D

When the porn industry and the dairy industry finally partner up, strip clubs will unfortunately be obsolete. :eek:

I know this topic is old, but I wanted to weigh in my two cents...

My wife and I are both active duty. I was on a ship for two years (at sea 16 months out of two years), before leaving for flight school while she was stationed in DC. The separation was extremely difficult for us. We saw each other every month or two, for a few weeks at most. I have been gone 14 months now, and we're filing for divorce. I found out while home for Thanksgiving that she'd been having an affair for the last 6 months.

I was able to handle the separation; she blamed me for being away and wasn't. I feel that I could have handled separation for a much longer period of time, but to each their own. If you are both able to deal with the separation (there have been lots of good recommendations on ways to stay in touch), then you'll make it. If not, you won't. I think that my marriage was doomed before we even separated, that was simply the catalyst that started the chain reaction.

In the end, you need to be honest with each other. That's the only way you'll stay emotionally close while you're apart. Even if it's ending, be honest. If it's going to shit, don't drag it out and drag each other through the dirt. It just makes it worse, believe me.

*edit* ... these problems did not exist -- obviously -- when the ladies did not try to emulate their male peers in the military and become little soldiers (sailors), too .... there's gotta be a lesson there, somewhere.

All these different smileys leave me confused as to the point you're trying to make. In the future, please limit yourself to one smiley emotion per post so your thoughts and feelings about something can be clearly communicated.

Thanks. ;)

My wife and I have been married for two years (working on three). She is an USAF E-7 and I am a USN E-6. We met on Guam and decided shortly after to get married. Both of us have been down the bad marriage before and know the pitfalls.

We are dealing with a unique situation, as the two services don't usually colocate together. So, all the tricks posted have been discussed and decided on. We are just waiting on our detailers to find us something close together, either VA of FL.

Now on to the reason for the posting. When two people decide to get married and share their life together, it should be the most important thing.

Please to do not read this as "hanging around doing my time till retirement" or interpret it as "this guy is ROAD...Retired on Active Duty". I'm a lifer, and so is she. We understand our duties and take them serious, but the advice of a couple on this list is kind of crazy. I mean seriously, we are all cogs in the machine. We all apparently love our job and take great pride from completing missions, but at some point our life must move on. While our life may be better if we fly and get to do things most people do not, people need to identify what is most important in their own life.

When I complete my time on active and move on with my life, the most important thing in my memory will be my time with the brothers and sisters I flew with, the missions I was able to be on, people and places I helped, and the service to my country. The things that will still be with me, long after my usefulness to the Navy is gone, is my wife and family.

This is a individual decision. Having a family is a choice, and one that needs to be weighed against the obligations and commitments we made to good old Uncle Sam. Unfortunatley, both the married and military lives need 100% dedication. It isn't an easy life all the time, but you have to live with the decisions you make.

Alright, I'm standing by for blasting.
