Being an army girlfriend is tough, but it's doable. However, it sounds as though you're just waiting for him to leave, and there's a good chance he won't. It's a good secure job with a lot of perks (benefits, travelling, etc). Can you be with him if he makes the army his career for the rest of his life?
I'm an army girlfriend, and he's not going to be leaving for at least 20 years I don't think. I'm not thrilled that he gets sent away for work and training. He hasn't got deployed yet, so I'm dreading that. But at the same time, it's not so bad that I can't get along at home by myself so far, for the few months he's been away. And in the end, he's still home more than he's away.
If you really love someone and want to be with them, you can make it work. You probably won't ever be really happy that he's in the army and can get sent away for a year, but you can deal with it. If you're really unsure if you can do it, then you might want to break up, because it'll only get harder as it goes on and he's away.

 I'm sorry to tell you. But all my life I've been an Army kid, following my father where ever he pleases, to the point of not really knowing my family and not making friends, yet I wouldn't have it any other way.
6 Years, isn't that long, did you try to tell him how you feel? Why don't you travel with him if he goes somewhere? Explore the world why you can.

A relationship is a two-way street. If your putting up with the army aspect was solely based off the fact that eventually you wouldn't be putting up with the army aspect then...yes, you should leave him.
