... We have been together for 5 months and we're very in love but we are realistic. We know that people have been known to cheat in the military and that does not exclude their significant other. He wants to get married after he go through his first station I love him with everything in me and will stand by his side but is it a good idea to be married that soon into his career or not? (please be positive) Thank you

You ask for an answer but then ask the person responding to be positive, that's a tricky one.
In my experience military men are less likely to cheat than someone on civvie street, they stand for something, they choose to sacrifice, they stand proudly representing their nation.
To cheat on you is to diminish the standing of all these other things, the most important thing however is that you speak to him about your concerns and make sure he is as sure as you, be honest.
I think the answer to your question lies in you, you want the answer to be positive, I hope my answer is, but you have to acknowledge part of your question;
"we are realistic. We know that people have been known to cheat in the military"
But this is true of all walks of life, why are you focusing on the military life being a problem (he is going to be surrounded by other men 99.9% of the time!).
If you love each other, there is never a problem, ask him to be true and tell him you will be true too.
In my experience girlfriends and wives are the ones who get lonely and stray, I'm sure you both will be fine. Be happy.
