Ok so I am fixing to get married to an Army man, and im still in High School (Grade 12). When I go over seas to live with him after we get married, will i still be able to finish high school there on base?
Or is it better to just get my GED?
Your help would be very appreciated.

I cant ask my fiance to find out because well, he leaves important things out of what you tell him to find out..

What's the rush to get married when you haven't even finished high school yet???? IF your relationship is strong enough, marriage will wait until you're done with high school---personally if my child (and I have a teen girl) announced she was running off to get married without finishing high school first....someone would call CPS on my behind for beating some sense into her---but that's just me.

Here's a couple things to think about:
-How are you going to pay to get overseas? Army won't pay for it if you don't have command sponsorship.
-If he can't get command sponsorship, where are you going to live?

As far as school goes, I don't know if you can finish high school or not. I imagine you could enroll since you're still a kid. I don't know how that would work. You could always go to an online school or do the GED thing.

REmember, GEDs can close suite a few doors for you later. You should really just stay put and finish your diploma.

Out of curiosity, have you talked to your parents at all about this? They know you better and will have your best interests in mind.

And ditto to everything BAW said

finish high school first. period. you will not be allowed to attend school on base overseas.

besides, since it appears as if he is already overseas.. you cannot move over there any way.. not without him going through and requesting command sponsorship.. which can easily take six months.


There can be no freedom without sacrifice

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.

Wow! I say finish school first! I can assure you it will be the best move you ever make. If you guys truly love each other 1 more year apart won't hurt a bit, infact it will probably be good for you to see what it will be like since it probably won't be the only time he has to leave.

We have several girls here on post who are 16 and 17 and married to soliders. They are finishing highschool as well. Marriage is not easy, especially in the first few years, and if you add moving overseas, military life that your not used too, and trying to finish school that just seems like too much for someone your age to have to handle. I got married at 18, and it was really difficult, and I didnt have half of that stuff to worry about!

Good luck on whatever you do, but I hope you decide to finish school!!

Straight to the point question right here, why are you sacrificing a free education, chance to take free college classes and to make yourself a better person and more marketable for a man? If he honestly truly loves you he would make sure that you finish high school first and foremost to make sure you are taken care of before marrying you.

You cannot constantly think of him, you have to think of yourself. Dropping out of school at 17 and getting a GED is not going to help you at all. What are you going to do if this relationship doesn't work out and in 3 years down the road you separate. You don't have a High school diploma, you don't have college, you don't necessarily have marketable skills for a job either. so you can be stuck at a minimum wage job. where if you had stayed in school and apart from each other you would have tested teh relationship to its full potential and decided, honestly decided if you are true to each other that you are heading down the same paths in the future.

My advice, stay in school, take college classes, wait to get married, get a job and save money. This way in 1 year you can have your dream wedding and you will not be apart from each other. Plus you can get a better job or go to college full time.
