There must be a special place in Hell for “women”like this type.
What a sweet heart this woman was.
Yeah, its very well known that around military bases many girls will marry a younger soldier right before he goes off, usually a stripper or some such.
On a related note. Ever wonder why their are so many Koreans around military bases?
I think its like that on both sides of the fence when youre in a military town.
In Panama City FL every girlie on earth (practically) is gunning for an airman, etc.
The soldiers have some idea what theyre getting into, I suspect.
Some of the GIs are a piece of work too my wifes dad, for instance.
He met his wife while stationed in Germany and married her. Knocked her up then got stationed in Watertown where he knocked her up a second time and shortly decided the whole marriage/family thing wasnt as attractive as originally envisioned and bailed out.
Those types of stories arent uncommon either way.
Anyway, my wife has some pictures of Life in Watertown.
Its really a pretty place like in late July when the leaves are turning colors just kidding, but not by much.
She has a picture of their house and theres no visible house. Its just a big pile of snow. Snow from the top of the roof to the ground.
Seriously nothing but a trench in the snow that turns into a tunnel as it gets to the porch.
I guess thats one reason you can get houses (comparatively) cheap there nobody wants to live in ice most of the year.
She said it was a nice place to grow up as a kid but as an old woman she doesnt want to be inconvenienced by any more snow
Ill take her word for it and stay away.
Shortly after the wedding he learned she was (at about 21 years old) over 100 thousand pounds in debt. He got an off duty job, worked with the creditors and assumed the debt.
Not much time later he came home from his night job to find the house empty except for his clothes. She even took crap he owned before they met. He tracked her down and found her living with another guy. She told him she “needed time away to think about things.”
I was amazed he didn’t kill her.

Well, lots of guys get into those arrangements on purpose. Here’s a true story for you: Several years ago a “friend of a friend” was killed in a car wreck, leaving a pregnant 20 year old wife, a 1 year old kid, big bills, and no life insurance. Shortly afterward, the common acquaintance between he and I deployed to Iraq...but not before marrying her first. They didn’t consummate, and he had no intention of staying married to her, but he looked at it as a charity thing. He doesn’t really have a family outside of his parents, so he wanted her to have the money if anything happened to him in Iraq. Two tours later he’s still breathing (couple close calls), but that policy and their marriage is still in place.
In the meantime, she’s had a long-term live in “fiancee” for about the past year and a half. She can’t marry the guy because she’s legally married to my friend, and neither of them are interested in divorcing until he gets back from Iraq for good. And no, he doesn’t care about her relationship with the fiancee. To him, the whole arrangement is just a favor to a dead friend.
LOTS of deployed soldiers use the benefit as a charity, and as a practice it’s been happening since WW2. It’s nothing new.
