My husband IS a Lieutenant IN

not been separated since our mar
rlage. do not think II Is always
wise though as there are several
key questions to consider first
One Is. how far Is the nearest
town. II the distance Is too great
II would take too long for him
to travel back and forth. Trans
portation IS generally poor. Sec
ondly. are housing facilities ade-
auate? They are generally filled
to capacity. And the third ques-
ton Is. Does the couple have chill
dren? n so. I think tho wife

case. the husband should precede
