I joined the DEP in Febuary of 2004 and planned on leaving for boot camp in Oct. I then changed my ship out date for Jan. of 2005. Me and my fiancee decided to get married before i left for boot camp. He is alreday a U.S. Marine. Our wedding date is set for Dec. 11th. With this in mind, i've been having 2nd thoughts about joining for 2 reasons. I've heard military marriages are often harder to deal with when both spouses are in the service. the second reason is a more personal reason. I was signed up for legal assistant. etc. but since i am leaving for boot camp in jan. and not oct. my recruiters told me i would not be able to get a job that had anything to do with legal, or even administration. they said the only jobs oped then are mechanics and electricians, neither which i like or am very good at. I need some advice on what to do, maybe something that my recruiters are not telling me, and some advice if a military marriage is as bad as everyone makes it out to be. |
