My bf is leaving in Sept. for boot camp and will be gone for a total of 6 weeks. During those 6 weeks I intend to wait for him. I like the way he makes me feel and I dont want to lose that when he comes back so I'm waiting. I'd wait until the end of the world if I had to. What would you do?

I would wait. Would you want him to wait on you? Six weeks isn't that long. Just while he's gone think about all the times you've had together, and what yall are gonna do when he gets back. Just hang around your girlfriends to make it a lil easier. Go shopping and do girl stuff. Think about him before you go to bed, and until you go to sleep..Do something extravagant before he leaves...Something you won't forget when he's gone, and that will remind you why you're with him. Oh! and he's gonna be around a lot of boyz anyway. believe me, when he gets back he's gonna WANT U! ha ha

As has been said, it's only 6 weeks. That's not even a full two months. If this isn't just a fling, then you'll be able to work things out and wait. Frankly, if you are worried about something as short as 6 weeks, you need to consider why you are worried. (You never mentioned -how- serious this relationship is or how long it's already been going on.)
What I also think you need to know is how serious your boyfriend plans to get into the military role. If he thinks that this could be a future for him, this sort of event will happen more often and will affect the kind of relationship he will have with you.

First of all, I'm sure you are younger than 25. Second, why in the world are you even in a relationship, meaning having a boyfriend, especially since he's joined the military. God love our soldiers and what they do to keep this great country of ours safe. This advice is for both of you. Go out, have fun, discover the world and everyone living in it. I'm not saying go sleep around with everyone, I'm just saying go out and enjoy life. Get a better understanding of who you are and when he serves his time as a military man and the two of you still feel that you would like to spend the rest of your lives with each other, then by all means go for it. This way, you will have no regrets later on down the line and hopefully build a stronger love towards each other.
Now asking the question as to whether you should wait or move on says a lot more than you might think which is why I gave you the answer I did. Think about why you asked that question because deep down inside something is worrying you besides waiting.

You are having issues with having to wait 6 weeks? I'd seriously think about your relationship if this is the case. After boot camp, he'll most likely be deployed for up to 12 months at a time, depending on his branch of service.
You should talk to him, seriously about your commitment and make sure he's on the same page. Also, you need to discuss what will happen with the two of you after boot camp...are you willing or able to move with him to his duty station? Is he going to be able to handle long deployments without you?
My husband and I were both in the Navy and always on back to back deployments (when we were dating) and it was hard at times. Fortunately, we made it through and are now married. He's now a contractor in Iraq, and I get to see him every four months for two weeks...and it's still hard after being together for over 8 years.

Wait for him, because it sounds like you really love him. And imagine if you dont wait for him, how are you going to feel when he comes back? How would u feel to not wait and move on?

It's only six weeks. If anyone is going to be involved with someone in the forces then they should expect long periods of time away from them.
Of course if it were me, I would wait.

I would wait for him. If you love him, you would wait. My boyfriend had a offer (before he quit his former job) to go overseas and work at a AAFES BX/PX and he would have been gone 9 months and he asked what I would do and I said I would wait for him to come home. Wait for him sweetie. He'll forever remember that.
