If the Army wanted you to have a wife, they would have issued you one.

Heh heh, that's right. If you are only staying in for a short time, 4 years or what have you, being single and in the military can be a great time. You get to travel and live a care free life - except for the danger of combat, if that applies to you. It can be a time of personal growth, without having to worry about a spouse or children.

Regardless, plenty of time to be married later.
