There are probably no benefits from the Army unless he was given a disability retirement.\n\nYou may have various VA benefits, based on the classification of his discharge, reason for discharge, and length of service.  Contact the nearest VA office for information, or go here:  http://www.va.gov/

Quoting a friend, my job as a military spouse is hard, but my husband's job is harder! I've loved being a military dependent. My life has greater purpose knowing I am supporting freedom simply by loving my husband and offering him a retreat that he can depend on in the midst of the intense stress of his job (even though he may hardly be home to enjoy that!). Not only that, my personal benefits have been many: I've made some incredible friends, broadened my horizons in a hundred different ways, discovered an inner strength and independence I only barely knew I had, and had the privilege of experiencing the benefits of military life (although they may be dwindling!). Yes, it's a tough life, but it's worth every minute for every lesson learned, and for the opportunity to support my husband as he lives out his dream to defend freedom.

My husband is active duty, but is able to retire because he has served 20 years. I enjoy being an officers wife. He is often gone, which is a down side, but during those times I am able to bond with my girlfriends. As stated in a previous message when he returns it feels like we are newlyweds. I also enjoy the constant moving. If you move to a place that you dont like, it's no big deal because you know that in two or three years you will be gone. I work also and when he is not home I do not have to rush home to make sure that his dinner is prepared properly and the house is in proper order.

You have to be 100% VA disability and can only shop on military installations to recieve the tax exempt. If your husband falls into this category then he should contact the Vetrans Administration.

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.

If the spouse is also AD military, then no,  she cannot join AD, but she can go reserves.  \n\nIf there are excess dependants(more than a spouse and 2 kids) then the military may assume you cannot adequately provide for them on an enlisted salary and deny your enlistment.  You would have to prove that your husband's job is sufficient to provide for your family without depending entirely on your income as an E1.

Are you married to the deadbeat? My ex husband was in the military and I recieved a card (pass) to shop on base that had his social security number on it. I kept it after we divorced just in case I needed it in the future..Sure enough he tried to run away from his responsibilities of paying child support. I took his social security with me to the Department Of Human Resources and they helped me collect child support from him.That has been many years ago. Things may have changed since then.

You can move to anywhere you'd like and you can still keep you benefits. They are awarded to you and should not be taken away. If they are you may appeal and get them back.. Check with any VA office for any more info.. They will tell you the same thing..\n\nSorry to hear about your husband and good luck in the future. Go to your family.

Great question!!  What type of benefits?  What type of policy?  Are you the spouse?  Are you covered under the policy?  \n\nSorry, this question is WAY too vague!!

No, but you'll only get active benefits if you were active for a full 20 years.  Otherwise, you'll get the reservist benefits that kick in when you turn 60

the only moves the military pays for are  pcs  permanent change  of  station. and they will move you back to your hometown after   you finish your time. they dont pay when you decide to leave the service member. thats on you to foot the bill not them. the service member isnt moving so they dont care

It depends on what you classify as benegits...\n\nThere are a number of things that the Army can offer you...\nJob Skills\nLife Insurance\nFree Education\nFree Medical/Dental\n\nYou can also get certifications for various things through COOL/Dantes such as Microsoft Certification  Electricians Journeyman Certification and things like that.\n\nNot to mention that you there are bonuses for enlistment/reenlistment, perks for certain job skills, such as jump pay and things like that. For more information talk to your local recruiter or go to http://www.goarmy.com

Well, if you want vengence-you can take this incident to his chain of command, but is that really what you want to do?  If you two get divorced-a reduction in rank may not be in your children's best interest...and this would just cause bigger problems later on down the line-think of it this way, he may not have been thinking about his family when he did this-but you could be "the bigger man" and think about your family in resolving this issue.  The first thing I would do is contact the Chaplain Family Life Center at your post/base.  Talk to a counseler there-you need to do this!!  They can also help you with any info you need, pulling the hubby in for some couseling together would not be a bad idea either.  I do not believe in cheating, but you two have children together-even if divorce is the way you need to go-some sort of resolution needs to be made between the two of you for their sake.  I can not even imagine what I would do in your situation-deployments are beyond difficult, but that does not make cheating right!  My heart goes out to you and your family!!  I hope this helps!!
