We met online in 2013 when my fiancé was still in Basic (he's a combat medic) and developed a close relationship via letters and emails very quickly. We first met in person in NYC in August 2014 for a 1,5 week long vacation and are officially a couple since then! :) Quite a few vacations together followed (I visited him and his family in his hometown KC and also spent some time at his duty station with him) and he proposed in July 2015 :)
