I've decided i'm going to join the airforce, I feel like being in the military would put a strain on any relationships I would try and have. I would
Be moving every few years, no continuity. And countless other stresses of military life. How would you girls feel about being with a guy in the Air Force?

First of all, welcome to the site. To answer your question. Lonely but if its what you want i dont have a say in it but to support you. This is only my view.

I think I could cope with that. I have already dated two guys who were soldiers. I talked to them in a chatroom, so they seemed genuine enough. One I lost contact with, as the site got shut down, because the admins couldn't afford to keep it running. The other one I dated before him, was someone I'd known since my teens. As long as I can tell that they are actual soldiers and not the scammer type. I would still have a hard time missing him though.

I joined the army at 17 and of course had a girlfriend. I did what everyone told me to do. Stay single at least through training/deployments. Physical part is not that hard but mentally...better be ready. Last thing you need to worry about is what your girl is doin when they are teaching you skills you will need to know!! I did that andvit really helped me cause I wasn't worried or stressed. Still date and have fun of course but try not to get serious with anyone. I've seen guys married for ten years or so and there girls left. Its not worth it, hope this helps brother. Thank you for serving. I got a couple months left and already got my sgt rank. Be the best and great things will follow

I will give you my perspective of the one serving in the military. My relationships did not last serving in the military. As well as moving every couple of years; I was also away from home months at a time. I served in both army and navy and although the Navy was way worse for time being away from home; I had 3 to 4 month stints with the army as well. So; be prepared to stay single. JMO

Ya know..
You will be a completely different person
when you emerge from the military, sort of
like emerging from your teens.

A serious relationship now may make her
expect that same person who goes in, is the
same one coming out.

Even your 'selection' processes will have
been honed, your experiences broadened, your
outlook adjusted.

You will mature and get wiser, seems like
a better time to make decisions that will
affect every day of the rest of your life.
