    I got married while in the service. Got out two years later. It   
    took several years after that until I got a job where I was   
    better off financially than while I was in the service. Not that   
    military pay was good, but civilian pay wasn't all that great.   
    You were supposed to work overtime to make it, and I didn't like   
    overtime. I believed in family time.
