In the last few months, my boyfriend struggled in school. He lost his scholarship to a $45k a year school for his undergrad architecture degree. He's beginning to look into the Coast Guard as a possibility instead of going over $30k in debt to finish the last 2 years. His older brother is a Coastie and married and they live quite happily.
I never thought myself of a military gf/fiance/wife. I love him a ton and want to stick by him. Do you girls have any advice? Are there any Coastie wives here? How long usually is basic/training, what amount of time are they away, etc.?
