Go to α jewelers αsk the sαles αssociαte to show you engαgement rings pick the one thαt suits her best [αfter αll you're the one thαt know her best]

Follow your heαrt αnd be true to yourself αnd her-- if your not the type of guy thαt proposes through α fortune cookie or α billboαrd then don't.. do whαtever comes to your heαrt, αnd no just giving it to her won't cut it-- you hαve to be romαntic duh:p

My husband and myself where dual military and now I'm out and know what it is like to have to wait for my man to come home. You should have internet and phones over there but during holidays and such prepare to wait a long time. All you can do is write letters and sometimes they let the Iraq's on post to sell stuff. They also have some stuff animals you coould send on occasion.
You can always go to the PX they have decent rings.
She loves you, she will wait. It is very hard. Try to spend as much time as you can now.

So I've had to teach myself everything, how to tie I Tie, how to Shave, Everything...
Now, for once I want to do something RIGHT! But I don't know how! I KNOW we have to get Married, and I'm thinking of ways to Propose; but I don't know what Rings to buy when, and how to get a Marriage certificate. I have NO ONE I can turn to. Could someone walk through Everything I need to do to get married? Lets say I start out At The Ring Store, what do I buy, and where do I go from there?

Congrats! Let your personality shine in your proposal. Example, my friend loves to go kayaking so he took out his girl and tied a ring to her paddle. Just be yourself. Also, since your deploying, give her contacts to your rear-d, I'm an army wife so I know what she’s about to go through. Make sure you ready her for life married to the army. Don’t sugar coat it. She'll be as much a part of the US Military as you are. Good luck! Stay safe! Best Wishes!

But I'm a little afraid of her getting lonely over the 15 months, I might be able to have the Internet and use a web camera to convey my love... But do you have any suggestions on how I can keep her happy from so far away? Or advice I can give her about staying with me while I'm so far away?

Love letters. :D I would be head over heels happy if my husband sent me love letters through the mail. (The old snail mail sort ;) )

Before you deploy, order flowers to be delivered to her the day after you leave, or a week later... whenever. Just so she's surprised!
