Until you're older and you've found a mature enough woman/man to deal with moving every 3 years, deployments, meager paychecks, shitty hours, tons of time away from home, and the stress of the job, you don't need to marry the first hoe off the block. It's frustrating and since it personally affects me and the people around me, plus my unit readiness, I feel I have a say in what happens with other people's personal lives.
I married my husband super young and everyone spent the first 5 years of our relationship walking on eggshells waiting for it to implode. Are we perfect? Nah, but we have our shit together unlike the other 95% of idiots I deal with daily.
No joke, this idiot PFC fell in love with a stripper who was on her 3rd marriage and 5th kid. He was "in love" and guess what got shoved across my inbox last month? A domestic dispute because crazy stripper flipped out and starting throwing kitchen knives.
I swear to god there needs to be an age limit. Your dumb ass can't drink before 21, you shouldn't be allowed to marry until you're old enough to rent a car without a parent's consent.
