HI

USED TO HAVE TO COUNSEL MY YOUNGER TROOPS ABOUT MARRYING GERMAN GIRLS AND THE REPERCUSSIONS OF WHAT CAN HAPPEN AFTER THEY MARRIED THEM.

LIKE THE OLD "I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE MY FAMILY BIT." IT HAPPENED TOO MANY TIMES. BUT YOU CAN LEAD A HORSE TO WATER, BUT YOU CAN'T MAKE HIM DRINK.

I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE SOFA AGREEMENTS IN THAT RESPECT. NOR THE EUROPEAN COMMON RULES. SOUNDS LIKE THEY HAVE A GI BY THE SHORT HAIRS.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR FIELD OF ENDEAVOR OR WHAT FORMAL TRAINING YOU HAVE BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE PREFERENCE POINTS AT A MILITARY INSTALLATION BEING A VET AND ALL.

GOOD LUCK BUD IN THE FUTURE.
