That's pretty sound advice there, James, thank you.
One good thing is that if this does work out in the long run, he only has 2 years left of his "mandatory" service (have to do 5 years at last when you graduate from the Academy), and I think he wants to stay in about 2 years after that. But it's definately NOT going to be a lifelong career for him. If it were, I don't think I could do that. Too much time apart, and with my field, I can't be moving around a lot. That's the pain about being a lawyer- if you're moving and want to get a job, you have to go through the whole process of taking the bar in that state.
But, that's getting a bit ahead of things. I guess all I can do is see what happens.... if he was just some guy that I was in it for a "fling" with, I don't think i'd be trying. There's definately serious long-term potential, so that's why I think i'm going to try to do this.
Thank god for law school and KD, I have so much to keep me busy!

And oh yeah, GC too
