Being in the Marine Corps, and having been in your shoes, I can relate all too well.

You really need to put certain things into perspective. For example, he probably won't be stationed where you'll be attending school. He may request it, but just joining the military, you don't get to call the shots.

There's a possibility of the long distance relationship working out. His training is in San Antonio at Lackland AFB, right? Last time I checked, thats where all the little flyboys went to cupcake boot camp. If he gets stationed overseas, it will take a lot of maturity and a tremendous amount of willpower on both ends to keep it going.

Just don't break up with him while he's gone. For the love of God, do it face to face if you don't see it working out. I'm not going to discourage marriage, but both of you have lives to live and if he's in AF (those bastards TRAVEL), he has yet to experience anything, the last thing that he'll need is something, or someone, holding him back. Unless its one of those, "baby I can't live without you," sort of deals. That, in turn, puts the weight of fidelity and patience on your shoulders.

Conversely, if you want to get hitched, command sponsorship will take care of your ass and you'll be with your man. There's only so much free advice to give before you come to realization that this is only a choice you can make. Even if you feel like you don't have a clue, deep down, you know what the answer is.

Good luck.
