When he first gets out of boot camp he will go to a school to train him in his mos...you will not be able to go there, but when that is finished and he gets an actual duty station and you were married you would be able to go with him.

oh god if she were a terrorist, she would just google it like the rest of the people on here!\n\nAnyways the biggest and most likely to get stationed at are Camp Pendleton, Lejuine, and Okinawa.  Marines can also be stationed at Army or Navy bases depending on their MOS.  You can't beat the weather in southern CA though!  Oh, he could apply for embassy duty but sometimes they are unaccompanied which means you don't get to go.  There are other bases as well but like I said it really depends on you MOS.

no, he's most likely a split op.  He goes to basic this summer and his AIT the summer after he graduates.  There's no way you could fit basic and AIT into one summer.  You cannot be deployed until you are MOS qualified, which means you have completed AIT.  So he won't be deployed while in high school.  He can go to basic, and other training, but he won't be send over seas

As a marine wife and someone who has been affiliated with the military all her life (Navy brat and former Navy sailor), you have to be outgoing and opinionated!  You can't have him telling you what you think and how to do things.  Not only is that chauvinistic but what happens when he's on a 14 month deployment and  you haven't talked to him in a week, if you don't have opinions on how to take care of your family or home, you're screwed.  You also need to be outgoing to make friends.  Marines are gone alot and we need a support system for those times.  If he's looking for some weak-willed yes-girl, then forget him.

depends.. Where does your boyfriend want you to go.. and if it isnt a good place or what you really want, don't do it. Take time to figure out what you want, and then make your decision

My boyfriend is coming back in July too from the Marines. I just try to occupy myself by working and going to school. Just try to talk to him on the phone and keep your relationship fresh. I usually just hang out with my friends and have a good time but also stay faithful to my boyfriend

The only medical exams you'd have to do is if they are required by your state for a marriage license. The marines will require you to enroll in DEERS once your married and you'll have to bring your marriage license, birth cert, ss card, and divorce decree if you were previously married. DEERS is the program that tells the military that you and your husband are married and can receive health care,BAH, and so on. The marines won't do any kind of background check or anything on you.

Thank you and your son's for your sacrifice..\n\nI am assuming that since the Marines are technically part of the Navy, they should be able to direct you to the right place.  Here is their info:\nUS Naval Recruiting\n(505) 762-4561 \n\n2809 N Prince St Ste 138 \nClovis, NM 88101

you can't.  besides, that status changes daily, and just because you get sent to a base that isn't due up doesn't mean he won;t get sent IA.\n\nand do NOT go to Ft Drum.  Just as cold as Alaska.  and less pretty in the summer.  \n\nIf you are on EFMP<keep inmind that it only limits places YOU can go, if the need arises, they can and will give your spouse Unacompanied orders.    your condition also will NOT get him out fo a deployment.  trust me.  Mine has deployed several times, and I also have a chronic condition that prevents me from driving.

We were stationed in Germany when my hubby deployed the first time.  That was for Desert Storm.  It was hard being in a foreign country.  However, I chose to stay there and I'm glad I did.  The ones who went home basically lost everything.  They lost housing, sponsorship, overseas pay, contact with the unit and updates on how their hubby and the unit were doing among other things.  \n\nHow things work out depends mostly on you.  You already don't seem to be handling the stress well.  It doesn't matter what unit you go to or where you're stationed, there's games and politics.  You seem to be in a particularly bad one.  If you don't trust your hubby, you'll be in a world of hurt.  They'll play off that and give other women ammo to go after him.  Trust me, your trust and faith in him will have everything to do with what happens.  In 18 years, I know my hubby has never cheated on me.  I don't question him and I don't second guess him.  I keep him happy at home.\n\nI would suggest that you don't press the issue.  I'm sure the unit is following the rules.  They can't risk not doing it.  There's no CO or 1SG that wants to lose their position.  Things like  you're talking about can cause alot of scandal and ruin a career.  If you try to handle it in your own way, you can make things tough on your hubby.  If he has issues, he can take it up the chain of command.  However, it's not wise for you to interfere with the operations of his unit.  That puts him in for alot of stress and such.\n\nBe strong and trust in him and your marriage.  While he's gone, travel.  There's so much to see and do there.  Most of the time, it doesn't cost alot because you can get discounts or units or chaplains sponsor tours.  Write to him often and keep the letters up beat.  Try not to add to his worries and stress.  The time goes faster than you think and you'll find that you're a whole lot stronger than you thought you were.  You'll find your own independance and still rely on him.  \n\nGood luck!!

Well first you go to Boot Camp (not basic training, big difference), then you go to MCT (Marine Combat Training) and then you go to A-school to learn about your job.  Finally you get stationed somewhere.  I don't know what you mean asking what do you do next.  You do your job and whatever else they tell you to do.

Hi there, as a former AF type of 8 years I think I can answer this pretty easily. We'll take the questions in order.\n\nBasic training length? With travelling, waiting for the class to arrive or the like, you can expect the time of going to the MEPS station and completing AF Basic to be approximately 2 months long.\n\nWill you be able to spend time with him after that? That all depends on you, him, and the training school he gets arranged to go to after Basic. You can go and see him graduate from Basic, and spend the day with him, but that would be about it for being in Texas. Typically, to assure a smooth transition, new airmen get travel orders directly from Basic to their tech school. This tech school can be another 2 months long if it's small, or as long as mine, of a year and change for cryptolinguist studies. You can figure on an average of 3-6 months for tech school though.\n\nSpending time apart? It happens. I was in the military for 8 years, and of that I spent about 3 and a half years of that overseas. Typically, unless you're deployed to a war zone like the Middle East is right now, an overseas deployment is no more than 1 year long in duration. Either way, the biggest thing that both you and he need to realize here is this... once he signs on the dotted line his life is leased out to Unka Sam.. he goes where they say, when they say it, and for how long they want him to be there. Maybe half that time it will be for stuff that you're not allowed to go, or that if you chose to go the finances for it would be strictly on the two of you. Speaking as someone that faced that, trust me, unless one of you has some excessive funds stored up already, trailing after him is a very tiring and expensive endeavor. I'm not saying it can't be done, it's just difficult for young people to accomplish according to the AF's rules.\n\nWould it be easier to be married before-hand? Yes and no. You would have legal right to be with him in locations that allow family members to be with their spouse. However as an E1-E2 airman, he would be at the bottom of the list for getting on-base housing. You can get a housing allowance to live off base, but depending on what state you're in, it rarely will cover what you need. When I lived off base in California I had to come up with about 55% of my housing costs out of my own pocket, which hurt the finances, a lot. So, if you truly wanted to be there with him and have legal right to get covered in the housing clause and such, getting married before-hand can allow for such. However...I don't know any personal background here.. but time has proven in the past that giving time for him to accustom himself to AF life first is best if you want him to get all that he can out of the career choice. You can't be with him during Basic. You can't be with him during tech school. Usually leave is granted after the tech school and he reports to his first duty station, and if the hunger and desire to be wed is even stronger then than it is now... that has been the best time for friends I have known to actually get married. So many that did the deed before they went into Basic came out from the schools... different... and so much time apart.. it was awkward.. and ended badly. Like I said though. I don't know your circumstances... but if it was me.. I'd wait.. it's the smarter route to go in today's tumultous times.\n\nWould he have to live on base? As a young airman? yes. He could only live off-base with special permission, or if there was NO available dorms on the base that he'll be stationed at. As a single airman, it takes 2+ years before you have enough time to get the permission. As a married couple you are placed on a shorter list if no on-base housing is available.. but still... it takes time. My friend in NJ had his wife living 35 minutes away in a crummy apartment for nearly 3 years before they could get the permission for him to be allowed to

My husband is in the military.  We were engaged when he was in Germany and I was in Michigan.  We married when he returned and moved to Fort Jackson, SC.  The move was easy, the military moves you.  Just say good bye to friends and family and keep in touch with them.  Being deployed is a worry I have every day.  He already has been once.  It is probabley the hardest thing anyone goes through.  You just have to be ready, be supportive, be faithful, and be sensitive to your man.  Good Luck and God bless.

yes, remember that nothing in life is promised. if you love him live everyday like it counts. you should tell him to think like that. even if he goes to the navy, and he doesn't come back (god forbids something happens to him) you could rejoice knowing you lived everyday loving and knowing him like it was your last. and have no regrets. you need more encouragement listen to this song by jessica simpson called "i have loved you" it's on the "sweetest sin " album you'll love it.\n good luck

It depends on where your stationed and how long, the military could say hey thats a great idea, or they could send you to alaska, so its a very unstable thing, if your a spouse you can move wherever you want as long as its near your home of record which is near the meps station you inprocess in before getting shipped to basic, good luck.
