HI my name is Amber and my boyfriend is currently in his last week of BCT. He hasn't asked to marry me yet but he told me he bought a ring. (kinda ruined the surprise). but I wanted to ask is best to get married before deployment or after? His possible 1st depolyment is july, so that would be really soon. And also have any of you done a longer engagement? I wanted to wait 1 and 1/2 years so we can save up some money.
