Adam And Pete: Love In A Time Of War
HuffPo, 10 Nov 2011
Captain Pete Bennett doesn't remember the time he met his future husband. There wasn't much worth remembering.
It was during his freshman year in 2003, sitting at a table with other West Point cadets, when Adam first spoke to him. Though most West Pointers enter the academy from high school like any other college freshmen, the two were former enlisted soldiers, giving them a bit of common ground.
<snip>
Captain Adam Harmon is now 31 and the intelligence officer for a military police battalion at Fort Riley, Kansas. Pete's picture sits openly on his desk in the headquarters building. And, for the past two weeks, Adam has worn a wedding ring on his left hand.

.......................is so gay.
Richard, next time you post something as poignant as that, please warn us to get a tissue.
Would a supply officer be good at LOGPAC operations?
Just routine curiosity...
Their first meeting was one of the few times the pair spoke while at West Point.
"I kind of blew him off, which was probably typical me back then," said Pete, who lived firmly in the closet as a cadet.
Ugh I know it's a free country, grateful for their service, and congrats to the newlyweds, but sorry Richard I couldn't keep a straight face much past this...

Annoying. We just got a FRAGO to the DADT ALARACT this morning directing monthly "subjective" (i.e. how is the repeal of DADT affecting your units?) reporting requirements. The BS never stops. We wasted hours every week on the phone and with emails harrassing the SFG(A)s for their DADT training stats so they could be compiled and reported all the way to DOD to ensure every soldier was "educated". Now there's a monthly requirement for more of the same BS to continue appeasing the sensetivities of this special interest group. It's enough to gag a maggot.

Leadership FAIL::mad:
Though living a semi-out life, Adam graduated in 2007 and was commissioned as a military intelligence officer. While in training, he was able to rely on the support of West Point classmates who knew about his sexuality. But with the frequent moves and job changes inherent to military life, that support quickly eroded.
"It's an odd situation, because no matter how open I was at West Point, every time you [move] you're just de facto back in the closet," he said.
It's our own damn fault. :rolleyes:

Long distance relationships never work out. I wonder if Pete will get half of Adam's crap when they finally split.
