 I think he isn't for you. The whole it's all or nothing is no way to start a life together. It has to be 50/50
Being an Army Gf/F/Wife is not a walk in the park. I've been one for over 12 years now. It's certainly not for everyone. Every couple of years we move around. Have to adjust to the environment constantly, new people, new places, new challenges.
Being away from your family sucks. Mine is thousands of miles away right now, so you HAVE to be able to do everything on your own.
Then of course you have the deployments. This autumn will be my husband's 4th deployment.
I think his expectations of you just dropping EVERYTHING for him is a little on the selfish side.
Don't forget as a girlfriend/Fiance you have no "rights" as far as the military. No medical, no housing. You can NOT live on post until you marry. He will NOT get any benefits unless you are married. And I think EVERYONE needs to take marriage a little more serious then just seeing it as an way to get more money.
Taking your time getting to know your potential mate is SMART!

 You are having so many doubts about this man, that the old adage "when in doubt, don't" applies here.
Consider: you have only known him for one month. That's hardly any time at all. I suppose he is talking about the State of Georgia in the U.S., by the way??
I think he is being rather selfish if he says he wants nothing to do with you unless you are willing to move.
I'd just let it go and not bother with him any more. He's not showing you any consideration, after all......

 you hit the nail right on the head-this guy is selfish with a capital "S." He's not worried about how much you'll miss your friends and family, he doesn't seem to care that you'd be more comfortable getting to know him better, and the fact that hes already decided that he wants kids in five years without real regard to what you want tells me that he just might be controlling. Your instincts are right, don't let him talk you into doing something you know isn't right for you. He's thinking only of himself when he tells you that he wants you in Georgia. You tried being friends, he apparently doesn't want that, so let him take it or leave it. You dont love this man and he's too self-absorbed to care for you. Let him be, it's his loss.
