A Hard Choice

  Good morning and welcome to Sunday Blog Share. Today, we’re talking about choices both men and women in the armed services face. Not only are those choices difficult, they can and often do create a lifetime of wondering if they did the right thing.
Mel is a rising star in the military of the early 1980s. A woman, she’s in a non-traditional job and unwilling to give up all of that when her best bud since they were young proposes to her. Her crushing response to his proposal of marriage sends Joe into a tailspin and he walks away from his own promising career to return home and settle for second best.
Will this couple reunite in the future? Do they have a second chance at love?

Excerpt
Joe Stockton chided himself for picking this moment. Both he and the woman he loved, Mel Hoffman, had just come off a twelve-hour shift, preparing the F-16 jet fighter aircraft at Hahn Air Base in Germany for flight. Both were dog tired, ready for a hot cup of coffee and a tasty meal, and then to drop into bed until they had to report for duty again, about twelve hours from now.
Ah, quit being a coward. You love her. She loves you. Haven’t both of us said that many times since we got here?
They were stationed at one of the bases where the F-16 reigned supreme. Both of them were crew chiefs and expected to have a long and illustrious career. Although, if Joe had to admit it, Mel would do far better than he would. She had a certain drive to prove herself in this male-oriented world. Sure, he was good with a wrench, but she was better. And she knew how to deal with those at the top of the maintenance unit. Truth be told, he’d be happy to run a squadron as the NCOIC, but he could see Mel being someone who would be picked for all the prime positions at higher headquarters.
