Dating in the military is difficult to navigate no matter your rank or duty station. Do long distance relationships work? Should I get married for the benefits? Do I plan for the future, or take it day by day? Why am I still single? We asked Tech. Sgt. Montana McCormick, Airman 1st Class Luis Gomez, Master Sgt. Kyle Kingston, Staff Sgt. Brendan Miller about their experience dating in the military. The topic inspired a discussion about compromise, the importance of communication, having those hard conversations, and acclimating a civilian spouse to the military.
