OMG - what a way to start a morning; watching Jarhead with Jake Gyllenhaal. It's too bad I stopped dating Army boys in 2000. They're hot, but not marriage material.

oh great. The military men are my last option in this town ;)

[jennygel7]

I'd date chicks before dating militay again. Nice to look at, but bah to live with.

Take my word for it.

Well, Tim was military, but he was out of the military for a few years. He was Army.

This explains a few things, such as inability to make a commitment. And the abililty to switch off emotions.

[mellybrelly]

probably. He saw some pretty horrible things when he was overseas.

[mellybrelly]

ugh, this new guy I maybe have a date with is also military.

The divorce rate in military families is 27% higher than those in other careers. The % of domestic abuse on CDN bases is 19% higher on average per capita by city.

You can get those facts at the MFRC. (Military Family Resource Centre)

After ever tour there is a huge baby boom when the guys come back and a large amount of divorces.

be careful!!!

[mellybrelly]

frightening. Yeah, he isn't someone I'd really think of marrying (but Tim was), but so good to know.

Hmm - I was married to a guy who was in the army and it just isn't what they aee overseas. The military teaches them to detach from people and their boy's club constantly demoralizes women. When you're around it that much, it changes you as a person.

There is an old adage; If you the Army wanted you to have a wife, they would have issued you one.

[mellybrelly]

interesting. He was raised by an army dad too. Wonder how much that screwed him up.

[jennygel7]

Yah - he's fucked then.

Move on.
