Dear Ann Landers,
'm a GI stationed in Vietnam. Back home I was never a hotshot with the girls. Here I can have my pick. These chicks go big for Americans. About four months ago I met a beautiful girl who treats me like a king. I think I want to marry her, but I'm not sure. The girl has a child but was never married. All this probably sounds terrible to you, but over here they look at it differently. In fact, the govern-ment helps these girls out and nobody thinks anything of it. All my folks know is that I met a girl and I like her a lot. My father has hinted that I'd better not "do anything rash." Do these marriages work?-Brink

Dear Brink,
Have you considered how this girl will fit into your home environment? And have you considered how you will look to her out of uniform? Make no commitments. If it's love, it will keep till you get home and can look at this relation-ship through stateside eyes. After six months, if you still want to marry this girl, that's another matter. If she loves you, she'll be waiting. But make sure your two feet are planted firmly in good old terra firma-and the firma the betta.
