To be total off topic, did you guys accept Him while in the military, or afterward? I had to go through some difficult times of my own making before I was ready for Him. I accepted about 7 years after I got out.

I excepted Christ about age 14 & fell away during my military time somewhat and a while after that. I didn't never believe I just didn't think on it and was busy being a typical stupid youth. There's an old saying if you want a mules attention you gotta smack them with a 2X4.

Some tragic and then life altering events brought me back. Not to a perfect walk by any means but neither would have I survived of my own strength and mind. I learned a couple of decades ago how GOD deals with us one on one. I was taught what adversity is, what tempering meant, and what faith can do to get you through it.

I know from experience if GOD had wanted me to produce a child it would have been so despite precautions taken not to especially in my second marriage. Now however I see he knew what awaited ahead for me and my wife. I helped her finish raising her two kids and fathered no kids myself.

Isn't it funny how some of us have to come to the end of ourselves before we're ready to accept Him?

Brother, if you have taught any children, whether yours or others, about the Son of God and His gift for us, you are to be commended.
