Here's what the plan is as of now:
He's trying to get leave so we can see each other before I go to boot. I leave for boot in late May. While I'm training he'll be having his pre-deployment leave and then he's gone. I get done with all my training about mid-November. Come back here as a reservist for the Corps. He comes back next spring from overseas. We get married during his post-deployment. He'll go back to his duty station, I'll stay here and do my drill weekends and finish my degree. We'll visit each other when we can. After a couple years his contract is up and we start the rest of our lives.
Here's where it gets all mixed up:
We love each other so much! The distance is hard, but we are managing very well. It's becoming more and more apparent though that all we want to do at the days end is come home to each other. He obviously can't move here and do that because he's acive duty. Me on the other hand...I can. I'm almost done with my first year of college and I'm only in the D.E.P. (Delayed Entry Program) meaning if I wanted to I could leave at anytime and not be in the Corps. I could easily finish up this year, leave the D.E.P., and move to Cali, get married, and be with him. I want that! I want that so bad!...but I also want to be in the Corps. We've talked about it a lot. Neither one of us wants me to give up my dreams, but we also want to be together. He's going to be training for a few days, so we have some time apart to think about it, but I still don't know what to do.
I look up to you ladies for advice. What do you all think about this as third party perspectives?:shrug:
