I just want to say that I ended up coming with him and am very glad I did. I got a great job and we have been planning a wedding for when we get back home. I'm glad I got to be a part of this with him and help support him during it. Thanks everyone for your input.

Gearpig thanks for clearing that up for me. I didn't even know what to say back to that. I'm glad to hear y'all have been together for 17 years Edwardl- He will be flying the c130. He just finished his FC-1 physical and passed. I'm thinking about doing travel nursing and hope to find a job that way. At first when he find out he got the pilot slot do the air national guard I didn't know it was possible to follow him or that it was an option. When we started to talk about it and it was option I knew I wanted to go and be there for support for UPT. We have talked more about it and as of now I'm planning on going in February with him.

Well I actually will not be going back to the same place afterwards. We will be moving to where he will be based at which is in a different city so I'll be applying to the children's hospital in that city. So it was either leave a year early or wait it out. My thing is I do have times where I can get a week off at a time but if he is to busy if I was to move there to do much, I feel like it would be worse if I was visiting. I don't know though. You can see I'm kinda biased towards going as of now. But the comments really do help and give me more to think about.

Hey everyone, So my boyfriend is in the process of getting to UPT for the Air National Guard. He leaves Feb 2015 to either Columbus(9 hours away) or Vance (5 hours away). My question is if I should go with him. Some back ground, we have been together for 4.5 years. Met in college and then did a long distance relationship for a year while I finished school. I'm a pediatric registered nurse and have a wonderful job (2 yrs experience). I know I could find a job in either place but it just may not be as great as the one I have now, but it is just a year. I'm not a huge fan of long distance relationships but I know it is doable because we have done it before. I know he will be very busy, I have read tons of forums from other spouses/girlfriends already. :) I'm just curious if it is worth going with him or if I should just wait for that year to be over? I want to be there to support him but I also don't want to take away from the experience he will get. I also know the chance of us living together are very, very slim from what I've read. I feel like I could go on and on about the pros and cons of going but I would like to hear from other peoples experience. Thanks for listening, Keally
