Terminal Lance: The Issued Wife

Max nails it.

I heard that all the time in the Navy. "If the Navy wanted you to have a wife, they'd have issued you one." Of course, there were also the guys who treated their families as if they came with the seabag.

One time, my ship pulled into port a night early. My chief stayed on the ship. His wife was pissed when she found out. I didn't understand at the time, but after my marriage to my ex-wife, I do now. I had times in those 12 years when I wished I had a ship to stay on.
