It might be rough on you if you get married before boot camp, because there will be little contact, if any: military is very strict, especially boot camp.
Try and finish your college first if you can, I think getting this out of the way will make life easier for you. He will be very busy, and getting your stuff taken care of should allow both of your free time to arrive at the same time. Is he in for 4 years?
Anyways, take care! Also as a note, don't send him any food during boot camp, he will be forced to eat it all at one sitting; many get sick. My mom sent my brother a few pounds of cholcolate, and afterwards, he no longer had taste for chocolate.

In the meantime, finish college and get a good job so that when he return home permently, you can start with a good foundation. He should be receiving a GI Bill which will help him go and finish any schooling he needs. From this point, you'll both be working off a very solid foundation to start a family if you choose.
