[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ha I'm a military wife now.  I knew girls in college who had boyfriends over seas... every single one of them cheated on their significant other.  But they were 19-21, so I can see that.

Now my DH is a doc.  I'm always shocked with his stories of married friends that ask him for a VD prescription.  I don't know any names, but I can guess.  I think military life can be really stressful and lonely.  I hate to hear about it, but I can understand why it would be more prevalent than in the civilian community (although honestly I don't think there is evidence of that, despite what it may seem on this thread)

On a side note- it is illegal for an active duty military member to cheat on their spouse, although it is hard to actually prosecute.  I found this:

There are three "Elements of Proof" for the offense of Adultery in the Military:

That the accused wrongfully had sexual intercourse with a certain person;
That, at the time, the accused or the other person was married to someone else; and
That, under the circumstances, the conduct of the accused was to the prejudice of good order and discipline in the armed forces or was of a nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces.[/quote]

Also a doc's spouse here. One of my favorite stories from South Korea ... an enlisted soldier was diagnosed with gonorrhea. He came back the next day with the two sexual partners who had been involved in the threesome. By the end of the day, they were putting together a briefing about safe sex and testing everyone in the unit, because those three were connected to at least half the unit through sexual activity. And that was just the half they were able to confirm.[/quote]
