The real truth is, I accepted an Army ROTC scholarship in 1972. My commitment after graduation was 4 years, but I hung around for eight, long enough to meet my future bride, whom I met when she was hired in my section at Fort Bliss.
.........I came home from Japan for the sole reason of marrying my first “bride” 48 years ago yesterday.
It lasted about 12 years................sigh...........
