I have been with my boyfriend for 4 years and he wants to get married now not when he is done with tech school but won't be home for 33 weeks. He says once we are married the military will pay to have me move from Michigan to Mississippi is that true?

Wait until he's out of tech school..he needs to get adjust to the "real military" not tech school. being a military wife is tough. I felt horrible for them, especially as a female who was in....there are a lot of perks etc..but like any job just let them get adjusted into the new regime...and let him grow at tech school...give him the support there just as you always have...Then when that's all done plan a huge wedding..but right now he needs to focus on his foundation...and you need to focus on yours... don't be fooled by military pay...it isn't that much..once the kids come etc etc our enlisted military live below most American poverty lines until they hit NCO

You need to investigate this before you get married. A friend of my sister found out his girlfriend was pregnant after he was done with basic (for the Navy).
She took the bus from California to Virginia, they got married near the base, and then they found out that since he wasn't married when he enlisted they didn't have housing for the two of them. So she took the bus back, waited on a waiting list for like 2 months, then got informed they had housing reading for them. Three cross country trips while pregnant, ouch!
The military does pay for relocation expenses for families, but becoming family when he's already in is tricky. Depending on what branch he's in, there'll be an office that'll help him figure it all out.
On a side note, don't get married just because you miss each other being in different states. Really ask yourself why you want to get married first. Good luck!

How old are you two again? And why have you been boyfriend and girlfriend for 4 years and only NOW are talking about marriage? Do women these days truly not have any self respect for themselves anymore? If I were you I would tell this guy to get his shyt together AND THEN try to convince you to marry him! Until then I would go to school yourself, get a career, and quit trying to create the perfect guy when the perfect guy will more than likely find you! If your profile picture is really you, then you shouldn't have any trouble!

Not sure if the moving part is true. But, don't get married until he is out of school. The tone of your question makes me believe that you don't believe it is the right time to get married. You have been going out for 4 years, so you sound like you will be getting married in the future, but right now is not a good time. Your lives sound like they don't have the stability they would need for a newlywed couple to survive.

The military will not pay to move you to Mississippi while your husband is in Tech School.
You'll have to wait until your husband gets stationed at his first base before the military will pay to move you and your husband's belongings.

Yes, they will. and some times they will set you up in temporary housing till you find a place.
