I would say like TR said.. It is ten times better to work your way through the SFQC. I say too.. Wait till you graduate from the SFQC before planning any wedding. Yes it sucks for her, but you want to focus on SFQC not setting up your new House or dealing with water bills, grass cutting, etc. Yes people do it, but most if not all married guys have been married more than a day in the SFQC now. They have been dealing with bills, houses, utilities, ETC. As well as a wives having to deal with the house hold problems and military life, let alone daily job and social life.

It is good to "try it out", maybe no cohabitation, but you have never been in the military let alone deployed, away from home, in a foreign country, ETC. Now throw all that at a new wife, in a new place, away from home, in a strange country. You may not be in the Good Ol' USA, you could end up overseas. I say to wait till after the SFQC, use SFQC as a test bed for your marriage. You go to the field, typically you will not have Cell phones, but if you do, do call her. Wait till your base on Camp to use the pay phone or dig your cell out of a Bag. She if she can deal with that. No emails, no Smart phone Facebook or emails, ETC.

I had my Son during the SFQC, during language school. Made Language school tough as hell, I almost fail one of the major test.

My .02

Good Luck in your Journey!!!!
