Should I make the move?

I have an army boyfriend. We've talked about getting engaged. He's based 600 miles away and we see each other about every six weeks or so. Truth is, I hate my job here. I don't have very many friends, just one best friend and my sister and my parents. I feel empty here without him. He's going to be deployed in October for nine months, so I've been wanting to keep this long distance so that I could be home here whenever he's deployed. However, something in me really wants to move to where he is, find a job, get a house on base, get married and just be with him.. It's all I want. I don't know if it's worth being alone for nine months. I could still go home every now and then to see family, and try and make new friends... Find a new job and make new coworkers. I don't know what to do. My heart and brain say two different things. What would you suggest?
