I'm going to graduate from college in the spring with a degree in International Relations and a minor in Arabic. I've been thinking about joining the military for a while now, and it does seem like something I'd really like to do. I want the adventure and the experience most of all. Of course, it doesn't hurt that they'll pay a large chunk of my college loans as well. Yet, at the same time I have been with my girlfriend for a little over 4 years now, and marriage is definitely in the picture, and I'm not so sure that I can ask her to go through with me being deployed on and off for 3 or 4 years. What I'm wondering is, is a new marriage sustainable while on member of the marriage is gone in the military for such long periods of time? Also, is there anywhere else I can get the kind of adventure and experience that the Army offers? It seems like such a unique experience, and while things like the FBI, peace corps, etc interest me too, they just don't have that same appeal.
