I think the title says it all but I'll elaborate some...
My boyfriend of 4 yrs has been taking the steps the enter the U.S Coast Guard since March. He is going to sign his contract/final paperwork sometime in the next few weeks. I'm very proud and very excited for him! His recruiter said he would leave sometime in October for bootcamp.
I guess I am just a little nervous b/c I dont know if being in bootcamp for 2 mos will 'change' him in a good way or a bad way...its kind of hard to explain. He is a pretty mellow guy, but he can sure as hell defend himself in an argument. He has a great sense of humor and I would really hate for that to disappear. Does anyone have an idea on how the military might 'change' his personality? FWIW, he was in 4 yrs of NJROTC in high school and 2 yrs of NROTC in college.
Also, he keeps asking where
I would like to live so he can make a list of possible stations..so I'm guessing he is planning on taking me with him to wherever he is going to be stationed (I'm hoping he wont get stuck on a cutter or something, that would suck since I couldnt go
) I told him when he first started talking about the military that I wouldn't move anywhere with him unless we were engaged at the very least, is this unreasonable? I dont think it is, moving is a big step, not to mention four yrs of dating and 21/2 yrs of living together!! I just would like other opinions on that issue.
Is anyone elses SO going into the military/just entered?
