Oh, sweetie, you just do. You get used to shopping for groceries once a month (on the day you get paid) and you get used to crappy housing and rude civilians who seem to have forgotten what they went through, and you seek out others who are like you, and in the end you might find out, with patience, that it was the best thing you ever did -- to marry a Marine. Good luck. Go with the flow.

You don't. You tolerate it till it's over. And living in New Bern, at least you're not as close to Cherry Point as some others are.

I know, I tattooed there about 5 years ago and my ex wife lives in New Bern. Except for that period, I've been in Jacksonville, NC tattooing Marines for almost 30 years.

Do lots and lots of push-ups.

(Sorry, I couldn't resist. I'm not trying to be a jerk. Good luck with the adjustment!)
