Military Couples - Did you get engaged young/early?

Question

I know military couples tend to marry/get engaged early, but I'm curious if my position is normal. We've been together for a year and a half and he wants to propose. I'll be finishing my last year of school  while he's in FMF training, so we'll be graduating around the same time~

Answer

A friend of mine got married to a military man her senior year of high school after only 6 months of dating. She moved onto the military base with him upon her graduation. They've been married for 5 years now, have a son and are one of the happiest couples I've ever seen.

Answer

We're 21 & 22 now. We got married a while ago but he hasn't been deployed YET but February 2018 he gets sent to Korea and will be gone until Feb 2019; he'll be gone from may until August and then leave again in December for training befor he deploys this year. 
I don't know if he'll come home in a year. I don't know if I'll get a dog tag handed to me along with a flag. I don't know that our son and whatever children we have between then and now will ever remember their dad. 
But i would say some do get married early on because you just don't know how long you have with them. I'm glad we got married young and have a baby now, I don't know that if we would have waited that things would be different but I didn't want to risk that

Answer

I graduated college the same month my man graduated from bootcamp! Worked out well for us. It doesn't matter what everyone else thinks, as long as you feel like you're doing the right thing for yourself!

Answer

Engaged at 19 married at 22. Just because you get engaged doesn't mean you have to get married right away :) best decision of my life❤

Answer

My husband and I got married 9 months sooner than intended..we were going to wait until after he got back from a deployment but figured since neither of us wanted a big wedding anyway we might as well take advantage of the extra pay and did it a month before he left. Still together almost 4 years later and don't regret it one bit!

Answer

We got engaged when I was 17 and he was 20. We got married when I was 18 and he was 21. Now we're 22 and 25 with a daughter and baby on the way. We've been through two 6 month long deployments. One when I was pregnant with my first and the other shortly after her first birthday. We'll celebrate our 4 year wedding anniversary this May.

Answer

I was engaged at 16 and married at 18.. no regrets.  I was with him through boot camp and deployments and thanks the Lord he is out now.
