What do you think about women in the Army? Would you start a relationship with a woman in the military given that there is a possibility she could deploy anywhere, anytime?

I am not really qualified to answer this question as I am out of the age group. But for me I would be hesitant to date someone in the military.

Yeah, there are a lot of us old farts on here...

My question would be what are you looking for if that is the case? Someone to email with while you are gone? An anchor back home? Something to come home too? Something to look forward to?

My Kids' crowd has many in the Army. They date both civilians and same military branch members. They all have a very active life with friends and dates. So I'd say go for it. If you are not meeting people ok with your career, then actively go/visit locales where military and people accustomed to the life are hanging out.

Thank you for serving. Are you reserve or active?

I wouldn't date someone who was just about to move. Just as I didn't date anyone when I was getting close to moving.

I would be a bit too conscious of the possibility of being deployed not necessarily meaning coming back. You need to be a special kind of person to live with that fear and not let it cripple you every time you wave goodbye.
I used to work with a guy who had been in the army and he was always of the opinion that the best dates for soldiers were other soldiers.

I took it to mean being deployed in battle anywhere, anytime, rather than being posted. That's more of an LDR question.

BTW if you look closely at my avatar (photo) you will note that the guy is in his soldier suit but the girl is not so she must have dated a guy in the military and who knows it may have even worked out
