Some of the best friends I have had served in ODAs. Some of the strongest women I have met served as their wives. The guys were/are warriors, but I knew/know better then to ever cross the women. I have trouble enough keeping my marriage straight and I do not have to contend with an ops tempo and extended absences like y'all do. More power to you.
