5. How did you feel about him joining the Military?
When I found out that Alex joined the Navy, I was definitely surprised. I was a bit skeptical about dating him because I NEVER wanted to be in a military relationship.I didn't like the fact that he would be deployed & I would be missing him. It just seemed like heartache that I could avoid.
