This is a wonderful, sweet story about, Chris, a young gay recruit (out from the beginning of his career) who falls for and brings an older (14 years) veteran (divorced, deep in the closet), Col, out of the closet. This takes place over a five-year span, so the buildup is wonderfully slow. Col knows he is gay, but has not acted upon it due to his military career. He certainly doesn't want to break all the rules and fall for a guy he holds rank over. But, Chris is deliciously persistent once he realizes Col may also be gay. The looks and comments between the two go on for the four years of Chris's basic training. The hesitation on Col's part remains throughout most of the story, but he let's himself go enough that it doesn't distract from the story.There are moments of sadness, outrage, laughter and joy over the course of their relationship. This story pretty much has it all.
