The couple met at Warrant Officer Candidate School at Fort Rucker, Ala.

Many years ago I was a TAC Officer at the Warrant Officer Candidate School. As a matter of fact the first female to enter the School was one of my candidates. Must've been about 1975 or so.

Nice story. It would take much faith, I would think, to know what your partner faces daily and still choose to serve together in a war zone.
