My ward has 2 FT mnisionaries and one YW and one YM that have entered the armed forces within the last year or two.

WHen we were first married, my wife and I came THIS close to entering the Peace Corps (and I had already served a FT mission) but we were actually discouraged by the Corps itself becasue they told us that they didn't like to send couples to the same place unless one fo them had a hard science or practical skill of some sort to share. We were both liberal arts types that were both likley going to be teaching English and they didn't really want us as a couple, so we moved on.
