So last month my SO made a very mature decision to join the Air Force. I'm so excited for him; my dad has been in the AF all my life, and it's exciting that I will always have a connection to the AF. He said he wants to marry me, but it's best to wait until after I graduate college. I agree, it's so hard to go back to school when you're married, and even harder when you're a military spouse. My mom is a prime example of that.
I guess I just wanted to share his happy news. He was initially sworn in the other day, so he's officially in the AF now I'm so proud of him. Now he still has to take his past test, and then he'll eventually get a date for when he starts basic training. We both live in San Antonio, so he won't be going too far for basic training, which is good. The field he wants to be in will require him to be deployed A LOT. I'm scared, but I'm ready for the challenge. I feel like our life is moving forward. I say "our" because he said he made this decision for us I'm thrilled.

thats great that you two are treating it as a joint thing rather than just 'for him'.

congrats to him, and you

Thanks everyone! I'm just looking forward to our life. He went out of his way a few times during the initial process and told me that he's doing this for us, because now we'll never have to worry again. Of course I'm feeling some anxiety over him being away often, but it's nothing we're not used to ;P I guess I'll be around here a lot more often lol.
It's funny, I could never see myself with a military man, and now here we are X)

Congrats! One of my best friends from high school joined the AF as well, he's set to go to Officer Training School any time now, he's just waiting for his orders. Several more of my friends are either in a relationship or married to military guys. You must be so proud of him.
