Depends if she is the dream of his life. For some, love is more hard to come by, so you cannot necessarily tell. I have done dragonboat racing, so I am aware of teamwork. It is the same. Many a times, there were dedicated people who gave up on their team mates finding love. How many gangs give up on their crew for a woman? More often than not, it isn't that people are 2 faced or anything. They simply DO NOT KNOW THEMSELVES ENOUGH and only see it when they cross they cross that bridge!

But at least get to sample some other parts of the world.

he's got a point there you really cant experience girls until after high school

Girls always like it when a guy really loves them, and the bond is strong, but i believe your g/f or b/f. (this is in general to everyone) should truly be supportive of what you're going for. They should represent the civilian side of who you are, Supportive of the corps, and proud as H*LL! If she is all of these and a ball of wax, try and keep her. It should be worth it! I'm a female and I'm enlisting so i that's my expectations for both sides.

Tell her you'll be back in a few years and if she's still looking decent you might call.

If she is stressing out then that is normal. I have been though my share of relationships in my 4 years of being in the Marines. It is anixity on her part of you become a grunt (infantry) you will spend about 7 months in Iraq so make sure she is prepared for that sort time apart and if she messes around tell her good bye and find the next one.
