Hey purgatory-
I'm navy too. I've been in 13 years, and have NEVER had it go smoothly when I was up for orders. This was the first time I did it with the wife, and I know it was stressful for her as well. I know from my perspective, when it was VISIBLY bothering her, it just made me more frustrated because there was nothing I could do - not frustrated at her, just frustrated at the process. So, while I know it was probably hard for you, just listening was very helpful of you!!
