Fall back or not you will be gone a lot and are passing much of the responsibility of providing and caring for your family off on to your wife. I am glad you can still feel good about it though. I would be humiliated.

Hello Again Sky, I am not going to get into a spraying war like two skunks. I have served in two conflicts , Desert Storm and Operation Restore Hope, (http://www.globalsecurity.org/milita...store_hope.htm) with my Marine unit. In Somalia, I had many rounds fired above, below and next to my head. Yes, I was a grunt, but proud of it. After being covered with a few of my fellow Marines blood in which one survived and one did not you realize whats important real fast! Thats why I will smile from ear to ear when I fly for an airline with shotty pay. Thats why I smile from ear to ear every day I hold my baby girl or the hours spent instructing. Because I am thankful to be here and to be able to do what I want with my life. The alternative could have been death. I think of the many servicemen and women that have lost their lives and will never have the chance to pursue their dreams or watch their kids grow up. Thats why I am pursuing my passion, so they didnt die in vein. How dare you tell me that I am passing on responsibility to my wife and saying I should be humiliated. You have your views in which I cannot change nor will I try because you are SKYHIGH! This is America and you can have any opinion you want, so enjoy it.
