SWO? What is this "SWO" you speak of?
Hello all,
I wasnt sure if this was the correct forum for this question, but since it is about marriage, and you are all (I am assuming) spouses, I hope to get some good info! I am hopefully going to OCS sometime this summer or fall, my package is going to the May boards, and I was wondering if my boyfriend and I should get married (we wont unless I get selected!). We have been together for 4 years (and dont forsee seperating) and both have no real interest in marriage, but we were wondering if it would be a good idea to do so. What I am looking for are the pros, i.e. insurance for him, extra pay, ect. versus the cons. (if there are any) of marriage. If this should be moved to a different forum, let me know!
Thanks for all the advice!

Extra info- while I'm (hopefully) in the Navy, he is planning on going back to school and becoming and Engineer.
Extra Extra info- He is an Army brat and understands, as well as I do, the seperation, commitment, having to go to meetings I dont want to, ect. We are VERY good at compromising.
Extra x3 info- LOVED the "He-man woman haters"forum, but there wasnt much to do with WOMEN going into the Navy...
Thanks again!
