#1 I spent 10.5 years in U. Sam's Navy. I exited because I wanted a stable family. When my sub went into upkeep, 5% of the crew were married. The number increased to 95% after refueling and returned to 5% after first deployment. 3months in and 3m out. The surface Navy is even worse. God bless our sailors and I hope the brass get their heads out of their sanitary tank.

Sadly, that's because flying hours have been cut back because of budget and maintenance cuts.
