Viking,
When I was stationed in Caracas, about HALF of the single GIs in our unit got married to a local LOVELY. - As far as I know, all of them are relatively happy & still married to the same VZ lady.
(Caracas has many STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL ladies. - It's NO coincidence that MANY international pageant winners are Venezuelan.)
Also, one of my old Mike Papas married a 15YO Vietnamese girl when he was a 20YO CPL/E-4. = They are still married.
He is now a retired CSM & Mei Li is a MD, Pediatrician in Dallas.
yours, tex
