Flychicaga,

I think that you know that it would be difficult. It's difficult in the best of circumstances. That doesn't mean that it won't work, however, it just means that both of you would have to work that much harder to make it work.

My advice would be to not rush into anything. Long distance relationships are tough, but being married or what not would not make it any easier. Talk on the phone, emails, snail mail, see each other when you can, and just see what develops.

She should be sympathetic to your career since she has longer trips than you do. At the very least, she will know what she's getting into.

My wife and I were married for about a year and a half before I made my career change. It is tough. She's been great about it, however, and is very supportive of my pursuit of my dream.

I agree with you. Go for it. No matter how it turns out, it will be better than wondering what might have been for the rest of your life.

Godspeed.
