I'm interested in this guy and dating him once he gets out of the military. Are you sure you want to delete this answer?
Im ex army, and while he is still in, he is away a lot and can get hard not seeing each other, but the army keeps you fit and reliable and very organized so when he gets out and you can see him all the time he will be there for you, and being a soldier his house keeping should be good lol so you should enjoy that thought a man that knows how to keep himself fit and can tidy the house lol very organized so could sort the bills in time so if you like the guy you have a good catch go for it. Is the most rewarding way to experience anyone you meet whether they are from the military, work behind a bar or god forbid English.
But today, I want to really focus on the pros and cons of dating a guy at a military academy. I'm the sort of person who likes to hear the bad news. Almost all of the cons people are listing is based on a person piss poor choices NOT relevant to them being in the military. So everyone saying military guys are.
So I am interested in why you felt to put those initial points in the first place? To be honest the other articles just made me mad. Sure there are pros and cons to dating a serviceman. The point of this blog was to show you my experience, and then at the end to tell you to draw your OWN conclusion.

Monday, July 21, Lessons I learned from dating a Veteran. I am solely speaking from my experience with my veteran friends as well as a past paramour.

You need to understand that the military, in all of it's branches, is a brotherhood. They will never have closer relationships than those they formed in the military; that is not a good thing or a bad thing, that is just a matter of fact, so that is something you need to understand.
If you're not the most secure person and cannot handle his friends being extremely important, than maybe dating a military person is not for you.
It is not a competition between his military friends and you, they are people who shared a very intimate part of his life, and you should want to be close with them too. Many creeds through the branches reference loyalty or unity. You are always watching what you say or how you act, because your partner. If you had to make a similar decision, what were the pros and cons.
