Welcome! First off...thanks for your commitment to our country.
What type of riding are you enjoying? Mountain? Road? Somewhere in between?

The more important question, is what kind of riding does your girl want to do?
Hybrids are good for both road and light trails, but if you think you'll be doing 90% road, you might as well just start with that, because you'll end up a roadie before you know it.

Semper Fi. Sounds like a cyclocross bike may fit the bill as it can do a little bit of everything. My son is a Marine stationed in HI...thank you for serving.
