...that's the advice of the jungle- hardened rangers who patrol just one corner of this 1.9 million - acre (7,700 sq km) wilderness.

Neighbors help with babysitting so that a couple can get reacquainted after a long tour of duty. Nonprofit groups have stepped in to give veterans and active-duty service members the kind of confidential help they feel they cannot get on base.
