Don't get me wrong, Kipling's line about "young men in barricks don't grow into plaster saints" still applies, and there is still a lot of immoral behavior in the military, but on the whole, Christians in the military seem much more willing to be open about it. There are even some that say grace at the dinner-table.

Personally, I don't care who's around, when it's time for me to go to bed, I hit my knees and say my prayers like I always do.

Right......that's why Eric has also asked for prayer to protect him from the language and the sexual jokes. It ain't a monastery out there!

I'm sure the example you give in your own life has a very positive influence on the men around you. And the more people there are who are bold enough to show their faith, the more others will be attracted to it.

Thank you, John!
