I hate the military

I’m (19f) my boyfriend is (19m) he is currently at navy BMT. We’ve done long distance before for 4 months my last semester of college. But ofc the military gets significantly less communication, and I hate it. Basic sucks, I know A-School will be better, but then comes deployments and those suck even worse. He has a five year contact, does that begin after all the schooling is over? I just hate the long distance it’s sm worse. I’m moving with him after he completes A-school, but if he gets on a ship (which I know is very likely) we will still barely be able to talk. I’m willing to do these 5 years because I love him. I’ll be in school the entire 5 years basically, i have a year left of college and then 3 years of law school. I don’t want to tell him that I wouldn’t want him to do another contract once he gets out cause it’s selfish, but I can’t do another contract. I hate it. He also wants kids, but I’m not gonna do it until after he finishes cause I’m not doing the whole solo parenting thing. How do I even go about telling him? I don’t want to discourage him or anything cause he’s still in basic. I love him, but I hate the military.
