Just saw that myself over at Foxnews.
I have to agree, I see way too many junior soldiers marrying for all of the wrong reasons, sex, family housing, lust, FSA, loneliness, fear, immaturity, etc.
Nothing at all wrong with trying to counsel them a bit before they take a very big step.
I saw middle aged women in my last job with their third military husband in four years, and with kids from each! Very scary.
Makes me wish for the good old days when the commander had to approve the marriage request.
