I'm a guy.. BUT.. if I were a woman.. it seems like the older GI guys in particular are good catches. They have great retirement plans after 20 years.. set for life.. plus plenty of good benefits along the way.
In addition, every GI apartment I've seen is fairly large and VERY nice.. really puts our teacher apartments to shame.. plus they have that great government retirement plan set for life.
It would make more sense for a woman to set their sights on a GI guy in their late 20s/30s/etc. as they are a lot more mature though than the stereotypical 18-year-old that springs to everyones mind with the thought of a GI. |

Sure, for some of them it is their job. But for some of the young pups it was a last resort. Dropped out of high school, fired by McDonald's, nothing else to do except ... "Be All That You Can Be"
(I do respect the older, educated GI's) |

You want to know about the military? Ask me..
You may find it's pretty helpful if you know some one that will get you things you can't get easily on the economy |

Methinks you might be stretching it a bit. Sure some teachers and soldiers are similar in that they are 'dirty little playboys', but you can't compare the education of the soldiers I mentioned (the high school dropouts) to teachers here (uni. educated) They might be equally stupid, but doesn't mean their educations are equal. |

Ladies: Would you or have you dated a GI?
No and yes. And that is why. 
(Oh, and sorry, scarface, but I do know there are exceptions to every rule, and you might be one of the exceptions. ) |

Taking advantage of the uninformed. Not nice!  |

No. Far better to take advantage of the uniformed. |
