Hey P, glad your trip is going well. No military background for me so I'll leave that to the experts.
Regarding your H and OW though, maybe the time together isn't such a bad thing. I've heard that these other relationships are often based on a fantasy of everything being good compared to only seeing the bad in the M. Maybe this time will bring a bit of reality to light and strip away a bit of the fantasy fascade.
Enjoy the warm weather. I went north this week and am looking at a light covering of snow. It was nice the first 30 minutes. Now I'm just cold.....: )
