Thanks for the input. I guess I already qualify as an idiot, I just got my airborne wings.
I'm a middle aged female and with the exception of my husband, every male in my very extended family is an Army/Air Force/Navy/Marine officer.
Let me just add:
Choose your wife very carefully. She must be as healthy physically, mentally and spiritually as possible. Much will be expected of her. Appreciate her and treat her well.
I guess you don't know the old saying about jump school:
The first weeks separates the men from the boys; the second week separates the men fromm the fools; and the third week... the fools jump out of perfectly functional aircraft.
