So my girlfriend won't let me join the Marines, saying "she doesn't want the military as any part of her life"
It's been my life long dream to join the Marines.
What should I do?

Hopefully, you have done all your research. You have to do what you want. Don't ask her to marry you like a lot of Marines do when they go in. Lots of divorces and cheating. I had an awesome gf but once I went in it just wasn't realistic to stay together. It's a whole different reality. You will save yourself a lot of trouble if realize how tough it is to have a successful relationship while serving. I joined without talking to a single person knowing that only I could answer the question if I wanted to join. Try to talk to some Marines(not recruiters) and they will tell you the good and bad. However you decide good luck:-)
