Well, Where do I start, I was doing a training exercise in the Mountains of North Ga. It was only supposed to be a couple of weeks so they put us up at the Ranger camp that happened to be co-located on the campus of North Ga College and State University which was coincidently a military school. After about 2 days some buddies of mine and I decided to acquire a vehicle and see what was out in town, (A man can only eat so many MRE's) Of course the only place in town was the College Bar and Grill, We stopped in ordered some food and drinks and the guys proceeded to play Darts (to this day I have never thrown another Dart) Well they had seemed to find themselves partners from the available female population and I was the odd man out. Not to be out done I noticed that there was still a very lucky lady (at least in my mind) still sitting alone watching the game. I tried slowly to build up the nerve to ask her to be my partner before my turn, and we proceeded to put holes in everything but the Dart Board, I mean how can you miss a dart board from that close? Long story short We were inseparable the rest of my stay there, This was Aug, We ran up an outrage phone bill between visits and I decided to give her the option before my upcoming deployment and Said we could get married before I left or wait until I get back, The last week of Nov she called and said she had the church reserved and all the planning done, Invitations sent etc. So We had a New year's Eve wedding and 14 years, three kids and several deployments later here we are, All from a simple game of darts! Morale of the story never ask a woman something you are not prepared to hear the answer for!
