I can't speak for how boot camp may change him, however I can speak to the moving thing.

I'm with you, I most certainly would NOT move if there was not a ring AND a date for the wedding. A ring is nice, but it's not the same as a ring and a date. You've been living together for 2.5 years and dating for 4. Speaking from experience (dated for 6 years, 3.5 of which we lived together), and even my husband admitting it - his own words here- we should have been engaged long before we finally did, but because we lived together it took him longer to ask. I got tired of waiting, moved out on my own, he was on his own - we both lived alone - and within 5 months he asked. Given it to do over again, I would not have lived with my husband until after we got engaged.

ETA: Uprooting yourself without a commitment may end up poorly.
