This played out as a "comfortable" story. While it was longer (4 pages) than most of your others I've read (3 pages), somehow some kind of spark seemed missing.

I liked that Marty and Beth talked a lot before they decided to date, and he didn't push anything; he let it happen. He even played it smart by quitting and getting a job elsewhere to avoid a possible conflict...but nothing "popped," perhaps because they never had to face a real issue in their relationship and it just happened. I really liked the story, but I don't feel comfortable rating higher than 4.

Good story!

If he was in Vietnam, the timing doesn’t work for him to have been watching YouTube videos to learn woodworking.

I gave it a 5 because, frankly, sometimes you want a nice story, no overdone drama and something to jyst feel good about.

Good uncomplicated, true to life tale. nice work

The timing seems 10-20 years off. Change Vietnam to Iraq and it would be more believable. The timing bothered me all the way through the story.

Neat story with very likeable characters.

Great story, I especially liked that talk by the Army recruiter about the president sends the army, but he was really talking about the Marines. Five stars.

Nipple beds? Really? Not bad...gave it a 4.

Good character development and storyline. I would have preferred they get married as an ending, but that's just me being a romantic. Strong warning about the whipped cream - can you say yeast infection? It does work well and safely on nipples though. LOL! 4.7*

Ohmygoodness fellow readers. If you want a solid breakdown on the benefits and drawbacks of shift work, this story is for you. Interested in a dive into army jobs with titles like vending machine codes? It's here. Unfortunately, I was bored to tears and already skipping paragraphs before the author even began introducing women as possible erotic partners for the main character. I was soooo checked out by that time that I gave up pretense and stopped reading the story. It's a shame, because aside from the content it was well written.

An extraordinary story sbout ordinary people, how they cope with life, what they do,

day-to-day. their fears, their hopes, their ups and downs. Their little victories,

their everyday defeats. Their expectations. You have an eye for detail, in your

mind's eye. - an investment in celebrating achievements, much like Faulkner.
