Alright, My Boyfriend is training to join the USAF, but we are getting married in about 5 Months. I don't want him to go away when he turns 17, but it is his choice. I've tried to give him reasons not to join, like because he is blind in his right eye from a gun shot wound. He says that in those years they will be able to give him a sergery to fix that... if he's right, I don't want to loose him to a war.

In the end, you have to give him full support. The risks of going to war are definitely there for anyone who joins the military, but those who join have to fully understand and accept that. You have to support him no matter what and you have every right to be worried because decisions like this alter peoples' lives. However, in the end you're also fighting along side him if you understand what I mean.
I don't know what else to tell you, but all I can tell you is to try and give him support.

My husband just left for basic training with the airforce a few weeks ago, 3 days after our one year aniversary. I don't know what kind of job you boyfriend is looking for (probably not a pilot, surgery or no), but I do know that I'll be seeing my husband again in about 6-7 weeks, depending on when base housing is available and wether or not we just get off-base housing. After that, we'll be in Monterey for a year, then a base in Texas for another year, and then we'll be sent to wherever his first post is. Considerations are made for spouses, and you would probably be able go wherever he is sent (except on TDY, obviously). As for war, well, that happens, and if he is sent away, he'll need your support. However, in the Airforce, depending on his job, it's very unlikely he'll end up in combat. So you can rest easy there.
If you're really nervous, get on line or on the phone, and get as much info as you can. The better informed you are, the easier it can be for both of you. I still call my husband's recruiter with the questions I have, and it helps alot.
