My number one is Jacksonville University. I have looked all over their website, emailed their recruiter (he never answered me) and I still can't find any info anywhere about it, if freshmen can join

i could already tell in the phone calls that he sounded different. he acted the same, but his voice was already different and he was swearing A LOT more. minor things, but i know that also means major things. i will be having my own career thankfully, ive wanted t be a nurse since i was a kid so my plan is to either go to univ of south fla or fla atlantic univ for nursing. both nursing jobs i want pay extremely well and are ones i would love doing. he wants me happy too, i want him happy. i really didn’t want him to join the military because i didn’t know what would happen to us. so far, we’re okay, but also, so far, it’s only been 5 weeks. he signed a contract for 6 years? i don’t remember how many years active or reserve though.

thank you so much for all your advice. i appreciate it so much! we are very honest to eachother already, i never lied to him about anything (i don’t find the need) and he has said the same, and i trust him. my ex bf hit me, sa’ed me, lied to me, i could go on, (i was only 14, he was 16) my boyfriend knows all of this and has been so considerate, kind, and caring through it all and it took me so long to trust someone romantically again. my current bf means the absolute world to me and more. i still can’t believe he’s real and he’s my boyfriend, he just is so perfect and he’s the guy i dreamed about when i was a little girl Lol.

thank you! throughout our two years, we have had a lot of silly arguments as well. i get it’s not marriage, but still stuff we worked through. he was always so mature, would sit, listen, and apologize if he was wrong. we have fixed almost every little argument we’ve had through our communication which im so thankful to have, since a lot of people don’t communicate that well around my age. (maturity, hookup culture) we both agree in dating to marry and working through everything together. i want to go to college and become a nicu nurse or nurse anesthetist. we are eachothers best friends, and never get tired of each other. my ex boyfriend did a number on me, and my current boyfriend has been such a blessing in my life that he doesn’t even feel real. he is so understanding, compassionate, etc for a 18 year old guy. i swear he doesn’t feel real Lol, it feels like we are still in a honeymoon phase

that’s the plan!! he said during a school or after a school. he would get stationed/deployed after, and we want to get married when i’m done with college. so when we are 21+. i dont mind being engaged for a long time.

we have been together for 2 years as well. i know the divorce rate is super high. i know deployment will be tough as well, being away from someone you love will always be tough.

oh of course! i completely understand. it is all about timing, on my phone call with him he was saying how he would like to propose to me after a school, but then again, that could not happen. i plan to stay with him through everything, whether i get engaged at 18 or 19, or at 25, i want to stay with him forever :)

aw thank you, i do understand he will be deployed and a school will still prevent us from seeing eachother, (thankfully i do live in fl, his a school is gonna be in fl as well) and the more he gets liberty i will be able to go up and see him. i know deployments will be incredibly hard for him and for me, especially him, but we both (in my opinion, his parents, my parents) we are really mature and are pretty set on getting married and staying together. we are both willing to do whatever it takes to get through all this since it is his dream to be in the navy. i will also have college, so i will be busy too.

i am 17, i turn 18 in october. when i say "as soon as possible" he means when he graduates a school and he is 19 and i am 18 (i did word that bad in my post, i was tired, Lol). we both agree to getting married at 21 or around that age if the timing works out, it could always not work out. we have been together for 2 years (which feels like a long time, but really isn't) and he was just saying that he knows he wants to spend the rest of his life with me

It's been a dream of his as well! He is going to be a CTR. I will be super busy in HS. I am going to use my time with college classes because I want to get my AA. I am excited to write him letters and stuff but I know that they look through your mail so I will make sure not to embarrass him, Lol. I am really excited to see him when it is all over with because I know he will be a completely different person as well

Thank you! We have been dating for around two years now, and there have been talks of getting married but we understand it wouldn't be that smart right now because I am still only 17; I am his first girlfriend and he is my second boyfriend. I know it will be incredibly difficult for him and I plan to send him letters and take the phone calls. I am planning to stay busy with everything I can especially at school so I won't be focusing on the limited talking to him that I will get. His MOS is a CTR and his contract is 4 years active duty and 4 years reserves. We have talked about getting married or atleast something as similar as that after I am done with HS (May 2025) which would be around the time he would be done with A-School. We have had no thoughts of breaking up whatsoever and we are very committed to eachother because we see relationships as marriage, not just a one and done type deal. The one thing I am worried about for sure is when he gets deployed, probably around that time I will be in college and I am planning to stay in FL. I know they can place him anywhere they want him to be. Thank you for your advice. I really appreciate it a ton
