My wife and I got married pretty young,she 17 and I was 20....... Everyone,and I mean everyone gave us 6 months........We lasted because we were both determined to make it last.......My being gone, she said gave her an opportunity to do things she wanted to do,college etc....... The kids came fast,4 of them at 2 year intervals...... But the key was TRUST,while away on deployments we both had that in each other,and that plus our LOVE got us through........ It's also important that she believes in what it is that you believe in....... The proudest day for "both of us" is when I earned my Green Beret............. It's been 52 years now for us and like Richard, I would do it all over again in a heart beat.........

Big Teddy __________________ I believe that SF is a 'calling' - not too different from the calling missionaries I know received. I knew instantly that it was for me, and that I would do all I could to achieve it. Most others I know in SF experienced something similar. If, as you say, you HAVE searched and read, and you do not KNOW if this is the path for you --- it is not.... Zonie Diver SF is a calling and it requires commitment and dedication that the uninitiated will never understand......
