is a relationship and the army possible?

Hi there,

Thank you for your question.

Yes, relationships are absolutely possible in the military. They will take a certain amount of expectation management as you may end up living apart from each other for periods, and may not be able to see each other every night or every weekend, but when you find the right person who supports you and understands the demands of your career the relationship will work.
