My boyfriend plans on joining the military, what can I expect?

Your fortunate to have a boyfriend who is doing something for his future. It takes courage to change careers, especially the H.M.Services. When I think of the layabouts living hand to mouth, probably never had a job nor want one, it makes my blood boil. I can`t help you with regard to protocol of army life, but your boyfriend is also fortunate in having you for his girlfriend, and being so supportive. Good Luck to you both.
