Fifteen minutes later, she returned informing me her shift was over and wondered if she could buy me a cup of coffee and sit awhile.

I politely accepted her offer,.....

Next time, try this one, "You remind me a lot of my second wife." When she asks how many times you've been married...say, "Just once."

Feel free to change the numbers to suit your personal experience.

The son of one of my co-workers attended the most recent SFAS. Claims he made it through but withdrew after they were told what to expect for the next months. Claims he was not aware of the impacts SF would have on his family life.

I know he spent months preparing for SFAS, can't understand how he missed the OPTEMPO issues...

Hmmmmm

I find it very difficult to believe he was not aware of the OPTEMPO .....

Luckily there are no quotas or slots in SFAS. It would be a shame if there was and he took one of them and then quit. Better then than finding it out once he was on a team. Somehow I doubt with that attitude that he could have completed the Q anyway.

In '97, I had the opportunity to serve as XO at SOCCENT when BG Frank J. Toney was CG. (In 1993, I had met then-COL F.J. Toney, Cdr, 10th SFG(A), as I was preparing to deploy as DCO of Opn Provide Comfort.) When, in ' 97, during the initial conference with BG Toney at SOCCENT, he asked me how my wife was. I told hime"Well, General, she gave me a choice...it was either SF or it was her." I then told him, "General, I sure am gonna miss the ole gal!" He cracked up and then proceeded to tell me that he was on his 4th!!!! Know that now, I am happily married to my dear wife (married 09/01/01, then I was mobed for o'seas deployment for 2 years at the end of '01!!!! Tough woman!!) who has supported me for years (her Dad was a right gunner on a B-29 during WWII...so she know what it means to serve).

Good luck, just know that they are out there...
