So, I've been dating my sailor, fox, for over two years now. We met online when I was 12 in a chatroom on mtv.com. We met in person in 2003. Best and worse night of my life.
Right now, he's stationed in Japan for at least 2 years. This summer we are going to get married, if they approve his leave. He's been away for a year and a half. We talk on Facebook and on Voxer but its not the same. The navy knows his situation, not being able to take leave before going there, but they keep dicking him around.
I'm still indecisive about either having a courthouse wedding or maybe have it at my sisters house. Still waiting for his input. Though I kind of leaning towards my sisters house though. Just hope we get the approval soon.
Being a military gf/fiancé/wife is tough. You're majority on your own, more so if you don't live together. If you're married, you can usually follow him. However, there are some restrictions if he gets stationed overseas. Like, he will have to pay out of pocket for you to fly over and things like that. Though when he comes home it is the BEST feeling in the world. There are facebook groups that can help and are understanding, which has helped me.
The distance is one of the worse, cause of time zones and that they won't be here for holidays or birthdays a lot, and if you have kids be prepared to be both roles and basically be a single parent sometimes.
