Neither of us could be away from our duties for long and there&rsquo;s certainly no privacy on base.&quot;<br>The two got married three months ago, but now Stefanie is returning to the country, meaning the duo will have to spend their first time apart in months.<\/p>\n<p>Adam admitted that it will be hard, but said that people in the armed forces who have families are naturally more cautious.<\/p>\n<p>Another soldier who is seeing love from her work in the armed forces is Lance Corporal Katrina Hodge, who recently represented as Miss England in the Miss World contest &ndash; leading to her getting hundreds of letters from fans who have fallen for the 22-year-old.<\/p>\n<p>Posted by Mark Wilkins<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-19576366-ADNFCR\"
