I joined the Air Force in December, and have yet to have a date to go to BMT. I want to serve my country, see new places and work a job i may not typically do in the civilian world! The only problem with this is, since I have joined I've went back to college, started dating an amazing guy, and got a pretty good job. Now I don't know if I want continue on with the military, any advice.... oh i'm only in DEP right now so I can technically get out by writing a letter!

Why not do both, although you wouldn't be a full-time student, while ou are serving you can get 100% free tuition, and the Military works with some great colleges. then when you get out finish up your degree if you don't finish it while your in with your GI bill, you'll have your degree PLUS expierience on your resume and beat out all the other "just college grads" any day!

You have 2/3 possible choices to can choose from:
1) Stay in college, maintain a 3.0 GPA or better and get you commission in the Air Force. Not only will you be able to travel the world, you can lead airmen in what whatever your job is. Many corporations will take that into account and you'll have a great resume for when you go back into the civilian world.
2) Go to the Air Force and join the Reserves. Not only will you be able to do what ordinary people can't do, you'll be in college at the same time. Plus the Reserve GI Bill will pay out $9,000.00 for schooling, it's direct deposit so you can do whatever with it. You might also get a bonus from the Air Force.
3) Go to active duty Air Force and do schooling on the side. Since you have 2 years lefts, you can get that done through correspondence courses.
Trust me, as soon as you leave for Boot Camp, Johnny will find someone else. Amazing person or not, they all do it; as soon as you're gone another Sally will move in.

If you really love the Air Force and always wanted to serve, go through with it. You can only join up till you are 27 or 28 and then it is too late. There are other ways to work overseas, I am sure you can do it if you really need/want to later.
If you won't look back on the road not taken, stay where you are.

You should get out. You need a very strong commitment to make it in the military and it sounds as if you have reservations.
Get out now, then if you decide later that you really do want to go you can always go back. If you go in and then change your mind, it's too late. You can't just quit.

Sure, go for it. Get out of the Army and stay in college. I would if I were you. It sounds like you've got good things going for you right where you are and don't need to pick up and leave.

Sounds like you're only in college because of him, not for your future, unless he propose, go back to what you like doing the best!

ROTC, you can have it all.
Plus a scholarship.
Plus a small monthly living allowance.
Plus a commission when you are done.
