seems its all about him, or her. They dont know what they're in for. If he's worried about those sorts of things, he wont do to good on a team, his mind will be elswhere, let alone going through training. As an instructor for 7 years, you can tell guys whose heads are in it, and those guys that are not. Every break alot of them run outside to "check in" with wifey or girl friend on their cell phones, and ask "what time will we be finished today?". Wonder how we did it without all this technology?!?! But...they are civilians and dont understand, they have no idea of the commitment and dedication it is going to take to be the best you can be. You must FOCUS.

*futuresoldier* you need to get your priorities straight if your gonna make up your mind, remember the old saying, "if the army wanted you to have a wife/girlfriend, they would have issued you one"!

EDIT: BTW, I have been married for 21 years and three kids, I have a wife that I could never have done the things I have without her support. However, her dad is SF(retired) also, she knew what she was getting into.
