Not true at all. My husband started Nuke school in the beginning of August and we just got married in October

My son, who just started A school, says it's not 2 years - you just can't get married while you're in A school.

Hi day, my husband and I were married when he was halfway through A school. He is an MM. That was in 2009 - they may have changed something since then, but just wanted to clarify! :)

I was talking with my sailor about this. He is wrestling with whether to avoid any intanglements and for how long. He mentioned that the single sailors are highly encouraged to wait until after finishing all their technical training (approx 2 years) which is probably where your boyfriend got his information. We will all agree that their schooling is extremely stressful. Also, any married woman will agree that marriage adds additional stress to life. If married during this phase of their training, the wife will need to put many of her needs "on hold" in order to not just be one more demand on him. He may actually be trying to make sure you two will have a better start in marriage by waiting.

Thanks for putting a logical and wise reply to this question. The nuke training requires nothing less than 100% of the sailors attention to be successful. The young man in question here obviously understands this.

well we are that kind of couple. i knew as soon as he said navy all i ever hoped for went out teh window & we would be liveing by the navy's say so. & as soon as he found out they wanted him for teh nuke program i thought to myself "well theres anouther 5 years of waiting.... o well.." the really irritating this of it is he never even asked he just knew i would wait. alot have told me that i should be happy he trusts me that much & has such strong confidence in us as a couple & i am happy he feels like that but it also kinna feels like im being taken for granted. i guess its like the song says "o well i guess that's just the way that it is don't bother none"

i can understand that. i HIGHLY dought we would be getting married anytime soon even tho he can. im not really the demanding sort of girl so even if we were to get married i dont think we would have any real problems. i come from a millitary background so i know i wont have teh final say in much of anything the navy will. it was just bothering me cause i didnt know if he was feeding me a line or if it was really true. i know we will have problems as does every relationship but i think we could over come them. after 6 years we have worked through alot we have never had a normal relationship. least not normal for our age alot of older couples have told us we act alot like them whitch i find encouraging. & i guess knowing life is never rainbows & butterflies has made me a sturdier person in that i expect teh worse & hope for the best. after taking care of someone with cancer 5 times while dealing with my own ailments i know there is always one more thing waiting to dump on ya & make everything more complicated.

You seem like an extremely strong young woman. I hope things work out for you. If he is the right one for you, he will be worth the wait. I understand your statement of feeling like you are being taking for granted. Try expressing your feelings without pointing fingers or being negative. You can do this by using statements that begin with "I feel ..." not statements that say "You make me feel ..." Try giving him soft, gentle suggestions of ways he can express his love and affections for you, while also expressing your support and appreciation for what he is doing for both of you. Your emotions are normal and natural given the circumstances. It is what you do with them that will determine the success of your relationship. You can use them attack and tear down someone, or you can recognize them as an indicator of a problem and seek to find a solution. I will be praying for you and your boyfriend.
