You guys have it wrong.
The three things in the Army that get soldiers into the most trouble are the three Ws.
Women.
Whiskey.
Weapons.
RB, if she was doing this now, what would she have been doing while you were at Camp MacKall? Where would your head be during training? What would you do when you found out? What would she be doing while you were on a six-month deployment? What would you do if she told you that if you went to SF training, she was leaving you?
I see way too many kids letting the little head think for the big one. Twenty years from now, if you make it through training, you will still have the SF Tab and be able to say that you stood with the best. You probably won't have the same woman.
The ladies have it right. The best revenge is living well. When you get back, go out, have a good time, date around for a while, and don't get too serious about anyone. Eventually, the right one will find you.
Hasta la bye-bye, baby. Now send the Ranger a nice thank you note and cut this skank away like a bad parachute.
