It depends.  Yes, we military wives do get paid if there is either a joint bank account set up, or an individual account especially for the wife.  Also, if the spouse has a POA (power of attorney) she could receive access to her husband's funds.\nSeparation pay, one of the other people had that right.  There's also "hazard pay" if the soldier is going into a combat situation.\nNavy is the same as any other military branch (on a fundamental level) as far as benefits and such, I would imagine.

I don't think they have any 2 year agreements.  The other thing you would have to decide is if you want to go officer or enlisted.  The contracts and pay will bed quite a bit different with officers vs enlisted.  If you decided to go enlisted you will just work the one weekend a month, and 2 weeks a year.  You will get paid to drill and during the 2 weeks but I don't think you get any spouse pay unless you are deployed.  I'm not sure about the officer.  I think the officers work similar schedules.

Go online the pay rates for e-1 to 0-6 and higher are published each year in the Military times Ie NAVY times. As well as BAQ BAS and most hazzardous duity pay. If you already have a contract signed you should go see your Officer recruiter has he will have the list of published current pay rates.

I was in the Army for nine years.  Usually what happens is you get a bulk of it up front and then the rest every year on the month that your husband enlisted.  So if he went in in September then every year he will get another lump sum, and then the September after that until it is paid.

Well it depends. Is she going as part of one of the branches (army, navy, airforce)? I am assuming she is not, since the process to be in them is quite particular. If she is a nurse, therefore she has a degree but it doesn't sound like she is an Office eiher. But if that's the case, she cannot get out of it. That's considered dessertion and you go to jail for it. \nIf she is going to Iraq as a Nurse working for the goverment contractors she can get out of it. Most likely she signed a contract, tell her to read very well the clause about rescinding the contract. I have knows of people going to Iraq and stayed less than the contract stated. The only loss or "fine" is that she would have to pay taxes for whatever she earned while being out there. You have to be over 3 months to consider your income "tax free" while being there...Hope this helps! Good Luck!

Yes the military member can get into trouble!\nThe UCMJ (Military Law) has several articles of conduct that it can throw at them (1) Adultery (Still on the Books)\n(2) Conduct unbecoming (a version of catch 22 where you can be charge because the woman is still married and not divorced.  (3) because the woman is still married and (the way your question is written) Married again before the first marriage was ended. they are guilty of polygamy which is also chargeable as an offense. 4) and the "civilian" woman can also be charge under Federal or Local State civil statutes for polygamy as well...

Go out and make friends with other navy wives. Join their clubs and ask them the same question as this one and see how they cope when their husband are overseas

I read that your hubby is in NC til June 2nd.  I take it he is at training down there in J-ville.  When he gets permanent orders (like any thing is permanant?!!), Go visit with him.  Go to the Housing Office.  His command should direct him their as part of his check in being how he is married.  If not, for the Navy it is either part of FISC (Fleet Industrial Supply Center) or FFSC (Fleet and Family Service Center).  The Marine Corp is part of the Navy, so the structure is similar in some ways. \n\nAnyways, You can get off-base housing and he should get extra money to pay for it.  You can also do on-base housing if it is available.  You don't pay for regular on-base housing, but some places have PPV (Private something Venture) which are homes that are subleased to the GOV for housing (money comes out of your paycheck like with off base housing that you sign for through the housing ofice).  Many bases are getting rid of on-base housing because it is getting really expensive to upkeep all those old buildings now.  \n\nAlso, if you have to move, most states have a law that allows military to get out of a lease if they are moving atleast X number of miles away under permanent orders.  Check into the state laws if you think you may ever have to break a lease. \n\nMake sure you are comfortable with the area you intend to move into.  Many bases have some bad areas around them (thugs think the service members are rich!!)  Talk to people at your hubby's command, the housing ofice, at the laundry matt, etc.  They will tell you where not to move.  Go to the area you think you will be interested in at different times of the day to include evening and late night-to see what really goes on there.  Go on a week night and a weekend night, too.  You can also pretend to want to buy a house-realators are good at knowing where not to go (i nobody else will help).  \n\nYou have like 10 or 14 days to live in a hotel for reimbursement (on your husband's order if you are a dependent).  His command may allow him 10 days of free leave for house hunting also.  Make sure he asks or it.  If he's new to the service, they most likely won't offer it to him. Good luck!

I dont mean to seem like a sexist as*hole, but ive heard women cant be deployed on the front lines, so that might soften up the fighting that you have to do if it is true. BUT my uncle had the same problem, hes in the army reserve, i dont know the exact details (ie platoon and what not) but he told his company commander and they just put him in a special course to be a cook. and he went to Iraq and stayed on base as a cook. I dont know if that helps but its worth passing on.

Check with the base commander's office when you arrive (or before). It is very likely there is already a collection of spouses at work with some charities.

Being a military wife, yes, it's hard when my husband is deployed for long periods but I have gotten used to it.  I have my own job, activities and friends to bide my time with while he is away.  I knew what I was getting into when we got married and I'm sticking with it.

yeah they are paid. I think you get more money if you are a lesbian.

being married in the military is hard but i tcan work if you work hard enough for it.  also when he gets to basic they ask if he is married and if he gives an address in new york you get about $1000 more than anywhere eles in the us. and no they dont check.

Deployments are not a place for civilians to be hanging out.. they are doing a very dangerous job.  I am rather confused by what you mean.  during port calls on deployments there is usually not enough time to get there to visit, considering the location will not be disseminated until after they leave.  The only port call you know of semi aheadof time prior to them coming home is when they pull in somewhere to pick up Tigers.. and spouses are not allowed on Tiger cruises in any event..  heck, I am not even sure subs HAVE Tiger cruises.  \n\nIf anything, many spouses wimp out and run home to Mommy and Daddy when deployments happen.

yes, there female MNs on sea duty.  BUT( and this is the kicker) Minesweepers are going away, and not every ship has been converted to co ed berthing.  So, while you can be statioend aboard a ship, there are not as many billets available overall.

they pay all 4 years of college if you sign up for montgomery GI bill. that costs 100.00 per month from your base pay for a year. it is voluntary. do it. its a good investment. they do not shave the women's heads. women can keep their hair as long as they want as long as its pulled up so that it doesnt hang below the uniform collar. \na tip: before you ship out, go get your hair cut kinda short but not dyke short. youll need all the time you can get to get dressed in the morning. the female TIs are meaner than the men.\n\nbetter than the navy: you dont go to sea. ships quarters are cramped.\nnot as good as the navy: USAF is cutting people like a track coach at a school full of fat kids.
