Answer 2

If you are truly ready for marriage, you should go for it! Keep in mind though, that military life is much different than the civilian world. You will move around a good bit depending on what his job in the air force is. Since my husband graduated in feb, we have moved 3 times, but now we are sort of settled. If you love travel, it will be great! You will probably miss family and friends back home, but keep in touch through email and phone. He gets lots of leave and vacation time to go on vacation, or visit back home too. If the two of you are close then you should be fine. He may deploy, depending on his job, some jobs deploy more than others, but there are lots of support groups, and when you make it through the deployment you will be closer than ever! The life of a military spouse can be hard, but it can also be very rewarding and exciting, The air force will take care of you, and there is alot to see and do, and you will meet tons of new people. It will make your relationship stronger than ever. Military marriages are hard, but don't let anyone tell you they are impossible. It is very smart to wait until he gets out of tech school, then you can go with him and you can stay together at the permanent duty station. So, if you think you are ready as far as the relationship goes, then I say go for it, and welcome to the air force!!!  

Answer 3

First if your married then I agree with everything Megan S.  said.

Second, if your not married then you have nothing to look forward to.  You get nothing for being a girlfriend in any service.
