Thank you very much.  I have known quite a few in my short term of
service also.

Total agreement!  And a good Officer knows that if he didn't have
these people helping him his job would be impossible.  So, he treats
them well, and makes sure they get recognized for what they do.
While in Japan, I made sure my people got official regocnition when
it was warrented.  I also took them all out for a beer on a regular
basis!  :-)

It does not confer respect either.  I worked for a Captain who was a
total backstabbing asshole.  No one had *any* respect for him, and
this include senior Officers too.  Som'bitch is probably a
PhoneColonel by now though....

>Ok...here's a question that maybe someone can answer:
>IN YOUR PERSPECTIVE, WHAT IS ROMANCE?

Romance (for Erin Anderson [Kryst]): When I look at my lady and say to
	myself, "There isn't anything better than this!"

	Ok.  You could find someone out there you are more attracted
to in a physical sense, or in a lifestyle sense, but in the end, you
can tell without a doubt that there is no one in the world who could
ever take the place of your loved one.

	I think that the hard part is this.  Why is it that when I was
dating lady x and thought that I loved her dearly and after she dumped
me, and after I met lady y, I find myself once again saying that I
love lady y most of all?  Every time I get involved with someone, I
can say, "I could stay here forever."  But if it crashes, I know I can
always find someone who I can say it to again.  THAT bugs me.

	The difference in lady x and lady y, though, stands out.  I
have grown through time, and I find more things I should be aware of.
Lady y has given me more reasons to stay and because of this, I DO
stay.  It's a tough thing to work out.

	Maybe romance is just a belief.  Maybe it is more of a desire
to be ignorant of anything else.  Saying to yourself, "I am happy
where I am, I cannot think of anything else that anyone else could
give me, therefore I am in love with this person."  Of course, this
involves some actual attraction and desire for a person.  But I think
that this might be it.

	In conclusion:  Love is a feeling caused by the desire of
being ignorant of what other people could possibly be to you since you
are happy in the present relationship.  Romance is the heartfelt
showing of this love.

>---Michele (with 1 "l") in AZ
