Sometimes I think the families suffer more. The troops have “3 hots and a cot” everyday. (Of course those on mission only have the hard ground to sleep on.) But the family sometimes worries about the grocery bill. When I was in the Navy’s attitude was “If the Navy wanted you to have a wife it would have issued you one.”

Why get into the past, the current military pays very well, and married is the normal status of a modern soldier.
