C'mon, King... you're killing me here. I can't have any fun with what was the most interesting part of my life so far? You're a real dick-stepper, ya know?

Heh, and you want the truth? Men in uniform have a stable paycheck. Aside from all the patriotic hero bullshit above (authority, being physically fit, guns, yelling a lot), getting into a relationship with Joe is a goldmine for a lot of trailer trash girls... the kind you find living around military bases. Getting married to Joe is a huge upgrade in lifestyle if you work at Walmart. You get free housing (on post housing is really nice at a lot of places), healthcare (TriCare for you and your bratlings), access to the commissary (grocery store), PX (kinda like WalMart), and you know Joe is getting paid every two weeks like clockwork. If Joe dies overseas? Wife gets $400,000. The marriage rate among lower enlisted guys, especially prior to a deployment, is way outta control from what I've seen. Relationships move at an accelerated pace for no good reason. Maybe the guy wants something to come home to and the girl likes the idea of stability for herself and whatever kids she might have leftover from the last Joe she shacked up with on post. It's all Jerry Springer'd.

Between deployments I had a lot of women interested in me because I was an attractive walking benefits package.
