My girlfriend and I have been dating for awhile now and we are worried that once I'm done with infantry training after boot camp we will no longer be able to see each other for very long periods of time, and it will turn into a long distance relationship. She will be graduating this year and plans on hitting college right out of high school. We both live in ND, quite a far distance from San Diego where I'll be at boot camp and training.
So my question is this, when Marines are done with their initial training where do they get stationed when no being deployed? Are they forced to live on one of the few bases we have along our coast lines? Or can they live off base as far away as North Dakota?
We both have agreed that we can deal with the deployments over seas but if I also have to live 2k miles away from her in between those deployments it will probably be a relationship breaker.
