I'm engaged with a man (who I obviously love very much) and he is about to enlist into the Air Force. Does the military recognize this so that I could live on base with him when he leaves? I truly do not want to be seperated while he serves his country.

NO, The military only provides housing for MARRIED couples and depending where you fall on the list there may be a wait for housing once you are married. Your best bet is to have your fly boy get an apartmebt offbase, if possible (may need approval to get single rate BAQ and VHA(more money)) and you guys live there until the nuptuals. Better be ready to get a job, since you will need the money to supplement his income.

If you simply can't live w/o him then why don't you all just get a place off base?
Matty B's got it right. If you can't be w/o this guy this will only lead to disaster!
When i married my first husband i was absolutely shocked at how NOT family friendly the military is! Once your fiance is in you'll barely see him and when he's deployed and you have some kind of emergency, it better be life or death and you better have the proof to back it up or he won't be sent home to help you deal with that issue.
And I was equally shocked, once i moved on base (which took 6 months after we were married), to find that EVERYONE was cheating! Not just the spouses that were left behind for months at a time but also the actual service men and women.
A lot of women i knew while living in military housing were very, VERY depressed and one of my neighbors had her 2 1/2 yr old fall out of a second story window (she sustained only minor injuries, thank GOD) because she was neglecting her!
It's a really hard life and if you simply can't be w/o him, it's NOT FOR YOU! That's what the service is about!

No. The military only provides base housing areas for married couples with kids usually.. Sometimes it's a long waite to get base house as well.You'd be better off looking for an apartment that gives military discounts.

I am not married nor have I ever been, but here is what's going to happen. Until you get married and become his dependant, he will be living in the dorms, once you get married he can apply for you guys to live in on base or get an apartment off base. And after a while he will probably end up deploying for 4-6 months and you will end up cheating on him while he is gone. It always happens. As a matter of fact do not get married. Heed my warning.

No, you have to be married to get base housing. You can never stay with him in the barracks!
