four consecutive paragraphs:
"After serving her enlisted obligation, [Army Capt Kaththea] Stagg went back to college and rejoined the Army as an officer. She met her future husband during her last year at college. He was a master electrician from Massachusetts working on a Veterans Administration hospital.
"Figuring he was the typical sexist guy — sweet at first, then expecting her to change — Stagg didn't expect the relationship to survive her plans. But when she went to Officer's Candidate School in Georgia, he visited every weekend, then took a pay cut to live there. When she was assigned to South Carolina, he followed.
"She told him she didn't want to have children alone and needed a stay-at-home dad. 'I could do that,' he said.
"'So I asked him to marry me,' recalls Stagg.
My comment:
(a) Just ask Director Ang LEE, who in his formative years as a film director, was supported by his wife.
(b) The English surname Stagg is "from Old English stagga ‘male deer,' 'stag.'"
(c) master electrician http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_electrician
(d) For Officer's Candidate School, see
Officer Candidate School (United States Army) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Officer_Candidate_School_(United_States_Army)
United States Army, Navy, and Marine Corps each have its own Officer Candidate School.
