many thanks for your service man. future Army grunt here.

honestly, just because of that reason. WAIT before getting married. if you get married before you actually get in, there's TONS of paper work. i'm sure you heard about that at MEPS. yeah, well it's true. watched my buddy fill all that crap out cause he didn't listen. ******** up his ship date and everything. he was already a delayed shipment, now he's twice delayed.

my best advice is to explain how you feel to her. the situation is only going to get more tense with no telling her what you've just posted here.

also, make sure you mention the part about how getting married while JUST joining the service can impeed on what you want to do with your life and suggest waiting another year or so.

also, if she thinks it's going to be hard being in a relationship with a military service member just as a regular relationship, she should talk with some ACTUAL military wives. they can explain how it REALLY is. the military support thread in the Lifestyle main forum is a great place. i post there regularly when i'm able to get online.



again man, explain your side of the thought process, have her talk to some people who know what the life is really like...and than ask her for her thoughts on the matter as well. and sit down and discuss it, over a couple of days. ....the two of you will work it out together. it'll help .

again, thanks for your service, and best of luck brother.
