marriage life in military base?

[littlemonita]

my boyfriend is joining the military, and he wants me to follow him, and i want to follow him, i'd live with him where he gets stationed, no i wouldnt enlist with him! i'd just live with him after he graduates, wherever he gets stationed. but, the options still remains of either marrying him, or we get an apartment or something off base. what should i do? i'm very set on going with him, its what i want to do but i want as much info about living on a base, and how i would change schools (i'm in college), and getting work, and marriage life and base life, anything will help. even websites or other forums where i can get information on things like that thank you so much

www.myarmylifetoo.com will give you info. There are companies that work with military spouses and their relocating. Yo ucan start a career with them, and when you move they will relocate you to another branch of their company whereever ou are going. You would talk to the MWR about that...there is an MWR on every army base. With the living if you are married he will get BAH (housing allowance) based on the zip code where he is stationed. You can use this to get a place off base or it all goes to the housing office if you live on base. Each installation is different with their housing situation. Some you can get on right away and others you have 1-2 years on the waiting lise. That all depends on where you go. If he is E1-E3 and unmarried he will be required to live in the Barracs unless he has specail permission from his commander.

now days the bases are over crowded in the dorms and they do allow people to live off base certains ranks are barred from living on base in the dorms due to the shortages of rooms...the thing is if you are going to marry him..you should that way his housing and everything else is married rate if not it will be single rate...if you get married you get the id card which entitles you to be able to get on the base without him by your side..commissary, bx and medical privileges..without the marriage certificate you can forget all those things...its not a bad life....younger married couples need to learn to deal with money issues and pay all bills without gettin the service member in trouble..that seems to be the biggest issue anymore...bills not being paid...bad checks..the service member gets in serious trouble...
