BUT if you are interested in dating someone in the military, you do need to think very seriously about whether you are truly willing/able to stay in a relationship with someone who will inevitably be moving away in a year or two... maybe deploying.
You said that b/c you live in NOVA, "moving closer to a base is out." What would you do if you met your dream guy and one he says-- as he inevitably will -- "Honey, I just got orders to PCS to Fort Lewis/Fort Carson/Fort Hood/Afghanistan/Germany"?
If your answer is, "I'd have to say, 'see ya!'" then there's not much point pursuing such relationships. Unless you meet someone on the verge of getting out anyway, moves/deployments are an inherent part of military life.
