Talking Sadie Hawkins - Army-style?

WASHINGTON -- U.S. Army chaplains are trying to teach troops how to pick the right spouse, through a program called "How To Avoid Marrying a Jerk."

The matchmaking advice comes as military family life is being stressed by two tough wars. Defense Department records show more than 56,000 in the Army -- active, National Guard and Reserve -- have divorced since the campaign in Afghanistan started in 2001.

The "no jerks" program is also called "P.I.C.K. a Partner," for Premarital Interpersonal Choices and Knowledge.

Bob---you can't audition the ladies & I don't think barnyard animals are included in the try-outs.
