Is your boyfriend in the army right now? Because if not, then let me give you the heads up. My husband is in the army and has been deployed for 2 of the four years of his enlistment. It is not easy to be the spouse or loved one of someone in the military during this day and age. Luckily my husband and I have a very good relationship but even with that we still have our hard days (sometimes weeks). If you plan to stay with your boyfriend (ie get married) then the reenlistment should be a decision between the 2 of you because when you are with a soldier you also live the military life.

tell him to weigh his options.the army has great benefits,medical,dental,and a lot of other free programs that are provided for the family of the military personnel.but on the flip side with what is all going on overseas,if he comes back in he will no doubt go to Iraq,there fore leaving you and any other family behind.he would be supporting you and himself but at what risk?and on top of that Iraq has broken up a lot of relationships.army does provide free schooling but he wouldn't have time to go until he got back out of the military.if finance is the issue i would suggest he look into kbrjobs.com.if hired he would still have to go to Iraq,but the pay is way better,less hazardous,and he would be able to leave whenever he wanted to if things got to stressful.

Tell him not to go, unless he wants to go to Iraq. You need to decided what you want. Him overseas and you not seeing him for over a year, maybe even 18 months while he is in combat, or do you want to be able to spend time with him. Try to convince him to join the airforce. If he was already in the army he won't have to do the basic training again, and there are only 500 airforce personell in iraq, and they only do 6 month tours there. Run that by him, if i joined again i would go airforce.

My husband is in the Navy. Tell your boyfriend to think about all the negative things and the good things about being in the Army. and compare the pros and cons Tell him that it is something he really needs to think about. My husband is overseas right now and i hate it.

Tell him to watch the news and he would realize that this war on Iraq is not to liberate Iraqi people but to help Bush and his buddies become richer.
Tell him he is going to give his life to make some rich people richer and killing innocent iraqi people

Be supportive of whatever decision he makes. Let him know that you love him either way, but don't be afraid to share your concern. I, too, am looking at watching my son ship out to Iraq in January, so I know how you are feeling.

Make it clear that you will support him no matter which he chooses. Let him talk through his thoughts to you by behind the one who he bounces options off of. That means you cannot be bias to either side and let him come to his own conclusions while you listen and stand by his side.

I think you'll have to help him look at the costs and benefits of the situation in light of his long-term goals, both personal and professional.

DON'T DO IT...
The Air Force is MUCH better. Same pay...No deployment, no extra duties, the job is M-F 8-5, carpet, and fresh food at the chow hall.
