Are you saying that what I wrote is not true? Or rarely happens? I know many happily married sailors. Most of them are older and/or on their second or third wives.
For many (and by no means all) young, impetuous navy marriages end disastrously.
You nailed it. My girlfriend from high-school put a lot of pressure on me to get married. I had seen enough during my first couple of years in the Navy to know better...I came back from my second deployment and she was engaged to someone else. The VHA/BAS was attractive, I was ship's company on the Saratoga out at Mayport and living on the ship really sux.
