Im just a 27 year old talking who has narrowly escape marriage twice....looking back now...Im glad I did.

You are only young once...its a massive Cliché.....but its true.
"piss on your chips"....gonna save that one for future use. I like it.

Default I agree on waiting...

However, depending on where you are maturity-wise... if you're only getting hitched because you're scared of losing someone, it's never a good reason... if it's ment to be, it'll still be there when he gets back...

You can legAlly get married at 16 with parental consent,
in both wisconsin and where he is stationed.

So would the army allow that?
Samantha,

I know it's very hard to let him leave you without this "commitment".. but ask yourself this question..."Do I need this piece of paper to keep him faithful?"
If the answer is "yes".. then you should know you are expecting more from him than you should..and you may not get it....If the answer is "no" then .. why not wait?
You're both so young and you don't even know who you are yet..
Don't make the mistake of thinking a piece of paper is going to make a man faithful to you.
You say you've been with him since 15?
You're at an age where it doesn't matter what we tell you, you're going to do what you want anyway..
Maybe you'll look back at this and wish you had listened. Hopefully you will take the advice of experience and look back and be happy you took it.
Either way..
Good luck to you and your boyfriend. You should keep it that way.

See, I have a hard time saying you should wait, being that I'm only 20 and my boyfriend is 19 and we've already talked about marriage. The one benefit is that if you're married you can go with him to AIT (if its over a certain length) and you can go with him where ever he is stationed. The downside is that you really don't get to live your own life after that, its about you and him. I would suggest going to college, even a community college to get your associates at least. Then make a decision. It is EXTREMELY hard being away from your boyfriend (or spouses for others out there) but you have to know if he really loves you and you really love him you don't need marriage. It's funny that I'm saying all this because I've been debating changing schools and going close to where ever my boyfriend ends up because I can't stand being away from him right now. Because I know that once I finally graduate he'll probably deploy for 18 months and since I have to deal with the separation then, why deal with it now when he's still in the states. Anyway, I'm sure you'll make the right decision. I hope everything turns out well for you and your boyfriend.

Shoot!! It's a good thing you can't. I would've been divorced 774 times. I was in love with everyone of my ex girlfriends.
