 Talk to her… tell her what you asked here… that you are leaving for the Marines and you don’t know how long you will be gone or what will happen. You are both young and it’s hard to do an LDR when you can’t see each other…
Ask her what she wants… YOU will be the one busy with your new job she is the one staying here… does she want to have an LDR (some folks can cope some cannot)….
Is she willing to be a military wife? Are you feeling that serious about her?

Do you see yourself having a future with her?
If the answer is yes then stay with her,I have friends who have been in the services & I heard them talk about how hard it can be.
One friend even told me that if he hadn't had his g/f to fall back on (write letters home to & keep in his thoughts)that he would have found it even harder.
Even though he missed her deeply if he hadn't had her to reach out to he would have struggled.
If the answer is no then I suggest that you break up.

 Go to your girlfriend and discuss with her the different courses of action you can take. Explain to her that you are unsure of your future, but also listen to her point of view. She may think of something that you did not, and the two of you can decide whether to hang in there or break it off. also, if you decide to hold on, you guys can always decide later that it may not be working out. Long distance relationships are hard, exspecially when one partner is in the service, good luck.
