(Listen to this AP audio clip to get the gist of the story.)

According to the AP, the Army has started a new program to teach soldiers how to pick good spouses. The program is called either “How to Avoid Marrying a Jerk” or, in true Army fashion, “‘P.I.C.K. a Partner,’ for Premarital Interpersonal Choices and Knowledge.”

They even have this odd salute:

Maj. John Kegley, a chaplain who teaches the program in Monterey, Calif., throws in the “no jerk salute” for fun. One hand at the heart, two-fingers at the brow mean use your heart and brain when choosing.

Gotta love ‘em.
