Three months after getting married I was selected for something I just couldn't turn down. Again she supported me. Five years later and and us being together only 16 months of those five...things changed. I understood and we divorced. We're still friends but not married. I guess what I'm saying is that you can't predict everything. Your career will take you wherever the situation demands and your marriage withstands the demands of being SF or it doesn't.....or you quit.
BTW Glebo....I got THREE OLCs

Gentlemen,
I am absolutely NOT in any way a SF soldier, regardless of future aspirations. Snaquebite's statement reminded me of my own situation; I was deployed *with* my wife on the same base in the same unit. We dated for years beforehand, rarely saw each other when we were deployed, drifted apart, and eventually divorced. I cannot speak for the stresses of the pipeline, but the military alone puts enough stress on a relationship. Nothing is guaranteed - if she loves you now, she'll love you after the Q course. A few of the snuffy's in my truck have long term girlfriends and were asking me about marrying them before the upcoming deployment, I told them the same thing.
I apologize if I'm speaking out of place.
