OVER- 'THE" FENCE
I TAKE TREE NAVY: An article published" in the Navy Wives News that we thought might
be interesting. _ They say' that marriage pis a 50-50 proposition, but a Navytwife will
probally agree that it is a three' Way deal with the Navy holding a full thirty-three
and one third share. VJe'11 bet there is may a wife who sometimes wonders if the
marriage ceremony didn't read something like this:
"Wilt Thou, Sailor,.take this woman as Thy lawful wedded wife, to live together
insofar as the Bureau of Naval Personnel will allow? Wilt Thou love her, take her
to-the movies, and return promptly after Liberty call?
Wilt Thou_. . take this sailor as Thy lawful wedded husband, bearing in
mips, Liberty hours, Ships schedules, Watches, sudden orders, uncertain mail and
all other problems of Navy life? Wilt Thou serve him, love honor and wait for him,
learn to wash.and fold blues, and keep the smoking lamp lit for him at home?
I, Sailor, take Thee as my wedded wife' from 1630 to 0B00, as far as permitted
by my Commanding Officer, Liberty-hours,(subject to change without notice), for
better or worse,- for "earlier or later, and I promise to write at least once a week.
I?____, take Thee, Sailor as my wedded husband, subject to orders of the
O.D., changing residence whenever the ship moves, to have and to hold as long as my
^allotment comes through regularly, and there is given my Troth.
By virture of the authority vested in Navy Regs, subject to regulations- of the
Bu Pers Manual and latest Bu Pers notices, I pronounce you man and wife." <
