If they are savvy, they won't ask, and they'll have to interpret whatever info they can get, and looks (gray hair, wrinkles, etc) will have some influence. If someone looks 35 and never talks about a family, and never misses a camp or an assignment or a scrimmage, well, the assignor might assume they're available, even if they've got nine kids, two husbands a full-time job and are 60. Image is as important as reality.
