I'm in the D.E.P. (delayed entry program) for the airforce and am madly in love with my boyfriend, He's already said that if when I get to my duty station and it's in america he has no problem moving there but, I know that the concessions made to married couples are MUUUCH BETTER.
I have a friend who married her boyfriend, because he was in the navy and she tells me that she doesnt see a difference in thier relationship except that they never have money woes.
I would marry him for the benefits for the time being, but I wont feel married until I actually have a wedding, so it would kinda just be so we could live together (we've lived together for 2 years already). Do you think thats a mistake? (aside from romance issues)

and also he wont have trouble finding work because he's a certified welder and a technician on a very exclusive machine used in sheet metal fabrication....


and if when I get to my duty station Im not an e-4 and its a big base, I dont get to live with him at all. Only in the same city, and he will have to pay rent on his own.
 
The pro is when hubby or wifey are away you get to play! The con is making sure you dont get caught!
