I am leaving for Basic training for the army in a few months, I am 25, I am currently dating a girl from Romania who is currently a students in college, she is 24, we have been dating for a few months now and she is about to graduate and thus lose her student visa. I don't want this to be the reason we have to stop dating, it would crush me. If this was a normal situation i would see myself marrying her after a few years, but this is not a normal situation. My question is can marry her in order to keep her here with me? i know we have not been together for a very long time but I do see myself marrying her in the future and it will be impossible to stay together if she has to move back to Romania while I am in the army. I could see the marriage as being seen as a fraud due to the fact that my pay will increase for being married as well as the fact that she is a non-citizen and to top it of we have not been together for a very long time (seems like a scam even when i reread it). I also understand this may seem like a bad choice to many because of the short time we have been together but i don't want to lose her and her me. Is there even a chance we can do this and if so what do we need to do, thank you for your help. This is very important to me

Joining The army, want to marry Romania Girlfriend

If you really want to marry her, marry her. (Speaking as someone who married a Romanian native!)
People don't have to date for years before getting married. Probably the sooner you do it, the sooner before her student visa expires, the clearer it will be that the marriage is not solely so she doesn't have to leave.
Go the extra mile to show that the marriage is legit. Make sure you have joint bank accounts and a joint lease or home ownership. Make sure you have wedding pictures, and that all your friends and family know you got married. Keep records if possible of phone calls and other contact while you're overseas. If possible, have utility bills put in both names, and use the same credit cards.
I wouldn't hestitate to get married because of how it will look. Lots of people get married to avoid having to break up, not only because of immigration. Just look forward to later processing issues.
