But I remember when I was a kid and my dad was in the Air Force. We were stationed at Biggs Air Force Base in El Paso, TX. It was summer time and he usually came home for lunch. But anyway momma hadn't heard from him all day long. He was gone early in the morning and he finally showed up about 7:00 pm at night. We all were worried. He told us that they went to Washington, DC. We all were surprised but he never told us why. We were glad to have him home. I know those guys in special forces are a special breed. They are a cut above a regular soldiers in many way but if they are married and sometimes some wives have a hard time with the job they do because they can't talk about it. I remember my son's teacher who was young and married to a special forces guy and she had a hard time with it. I often pray they made it because they were such a nice couple. When you marry a military guy and he chooses to make a career they you stand by and support him all the way. I did that and I never regretted it. That took me away from my family and that was hard. But you do what you have to do.
