Long Distance With A Marine?

My boyfriend of a year and I have thought of so many options. I’m from Germany and he’s from the States. He wants to be a Marine and my parents want me to go to college in Germany. My boyfriend and I have agreed to try long distance for 3 years. He would come see me once a year and I would come see him 2-3 times a year.
Marines, do you think a long distance relationship could work?
We love each other very much and are extremely committed to each other. We plan on getting married and having our own family.
What do you think?
Also, are visitors allowed on base? For how long can they stay? Can they spend the night?

Long Distance Relationship With A Marine.. Should I Do It?

So I’ve known this guy for 3 years and have pretty much had a thing for him since day one, but he was my best friends boyfriend at the the time, about a month later they hit splitsville and are still really good friends. (I’ve talked to her about this and she is totally cool and kinda excited about me and him). Well, about a month ago we both finally found out that we had feelings for each other… the problem: He’s in the Marines, and is in So. Cal at base. He still has a little over 4 years left on his enlistment contract and I have no idea what we’re going to do. We talk all the time and it pretty much kills me when I have to say good night, I really like this one. Only neither of us really think long distance will work especially because I leave for college, 2 states away in less than a month making it even further, and harder for us to visit when he does get leave. WHAT DO WE DO?!?!
