No, they both have 10 years in.
Married 7 years ago and 5 days after their wedding both were on a C-17 for the Gulf Zone. Honeymoon paid for by the USAF. At the time he was doing duty as Flying Crew-Chief.
Extra flight-pay, hazard duty pay, TDY Pay, and all the other stuff. Daughter raked it in also except for flight-pay.
They had to keep putting off their wedding do to mission requirements. My wife and I got a call night before to be at the base at 0900 for their wedding. Chapel would be inside a C-17's cargo compartment. Got pics someplace.
Was a quick cermoney and saved Mom and Dad a bundle. :yellow-beer
Their wedding was featured in Bridal Magazine. I got the article scanned somewhere on a CD.
Several other military couples that had simular problems also had articles.

Oldest son got mad on 9-11. He did basic training with the Navy at age 40. He's still in.
Youngest son retired last year. 25 years in the Army.
Middle daughter had 11 years, Army Medic.
Youngest daughter has 16 in the Air Force, builds weapons, 5 tours in Saudi/Iraq. Purple Heart.
Son-in-law, 20 years, Air Force, currently in Afganistan, 8 tours in the war zones.
Other than that, life is good.
