I know i'm young... but, here is my situation. Me and my girlfriend are planning on getting married. The airforce pays for your WIFE's college, food, living expenses, and medical benefits. She can live on base with me and receive all of this. however i'm planning on leaving soon. Would i be able to marry her after i completed BMT and Technical Traning, and still receive all of this at the Air Forces' expense, or would it be best for us to get married first so everythign is taken care of?

No. You should wait. If you're meant to be together you can get married later. Having living expenses paid for is not reason enough to get married so young. Plus, going into the armed forces often changes people, and if you're both young you both have lots of growing up to do in any case.
I urge you to wait.

Do it later. If the Air Force wants you to have a wife they will issue you one.

I am answering this because my son joined the air force. And he was real young. His gf was his gf for like three years and they knew eventually they would marry. So, after he graduated from boot camp they got married. Then she was able to be with him instead of 2,000 miles away. It was the best thing they could of done. This way they didn't have a long distance relationship and the AF has wonderful benifits.
Several months after he finished his tech training they came back to California and had a formal wedding. It was lovely.
Another interesting piece of information is that after boot camp when they planned to marry, they didn't think it about that friday it was Good Friday & the court house was shut down.
So, my son went to the legal offices of the AF and they legally gave me proxie to stand in for my son and speak for him at the wedding cermony. I stood in for him that Monday with my daughter in law and I spoke for my son, He was on a bus headed to his tech training. So, legally they were married. She moved when he got a place for them to live. Eventually they had the formal wedding.
I don't know how old you are, but if you are very solid with your wedding plans you might want to get married quickly and if you want a formal wedding have that later. Hopefully your gf understand that the AF controls much of your life- where you live and things like that.. That isn't bad, but some women can't deal with that . To me the AF was the best thing that ever happened to my son. Also I never had much contact in my life with anything do do with any of the armed services, but once I visited my son and met the people he worked with I was very proud to be an American and all Americans should be very proud and thankful for the young men and women who serve us.
Can you do me a favor and let me know what you decide? You remind me so much of my son and his situation.
Best wishes

Get married now if she's really the one you want to marry.

It really doesn't matter whether you marry now or later. you have like a 44% chance of lasting anyway. Don't worry about it though. All your family and friends can be there for you at yoru next wedding.

you need to talk to your recruiter and find out the answers to this question. I think you are wrong to base this important life choice on if you get benifits or not, but if that is the deciding factor, then you need all the information you can get befor you make a decission
