"And my Master Sponsor is Mr Sanjiv Kapour." We're here girls!" Ms. Van Dorn's voice sounded all jolly hockey sticksas she chivvied us from the bus in...o to comfortable lecture theatre."Right then I'll say this now," Ms. Van Dorn said waving us to sit. "Ifany of you are having second thoughts? Tough it's to late now! You haveall been processed, and no longer have any identity other than what youremployer-sponsor has given you. Nothing you can do or say will changethe fact that you are now. Sandy laughed nervously, “Can I ask a question?”“You should ask questions! Go ahead.”“Do you have to use that rubber thing you talked about? Isn’t there some other way?”“Yes, the Pill, but then you’ll have to wait two months or so.

Six children, and five overseas assignments!Unfortunately, the Marine Corps.
