My guess would be , he'll leave a smile on your face. You can look forward to a ramrod straight young man coming back to you. If he doesn't now he will have a greater appreciation for you. Just realize that you may end up being mom and dad to any children you may have. I had a buddy in Nam that had 3 kids between 3 tours and was never there to see his kids born. He and his wife have been married since 1961 and things are still great. Married life is what you make it. Just be there for each other and let the guy upstairs take care of the rest.

You mean as far as the mil is concerned?


I hope so because if you're really that stumped......


First he'll have to enroll you in DEERS(hopefully you can get enrolled before he leaves. That way if anything happens you'll be covered) then you'll have to find an apartment(or house if in Base Housing) at your first duty station.


Remember though, after he graduates from basic there's AIS or other training. So don't get excited when you hear he'll be done w/ basic in 10 weeks 'cause he'll most likely leave straight from Basic to the training.
From my experiences with friends that have gone into the military, I can tell you that he will NOT be himself for about 6 months after. Boot camp is to break down their personalities %26amp; rebuild them the way the army wants them. He will become himself again, slowly.





Good luck, %26amp; goddess bless!
After AIT they get 10 days leave if they will be stationed CONUS and 14 days for OCONUS. While in AIT he will arrange for housing on the base he gets his orders for, otherwise you'll find something off base with your BAH. The Army comes and packs up all your stuff for you and moves you. A very good website (it helped me out A LOT) was www.marriedtothearmy.com. There's really nothing else to know until he gets his official orders.
He will go to bootcamp then straight to his Individual Training. Depending on what position he signed up for (MOS) will determine how long that training goes on for. Could take 6-8 weeks on the shorter end and some training is longer than 6 months. This is after the bootcamp which is 9 weeks. He will then have a week or so to come home at his expense before going to his station.
Is he Reserve, National Guard or Active Duty? The way you write makes me think he's not Active Duty since you expect him to come back to where you are.





He will be different, the age he joined at will effect how much different. The guys that join at 18 do a lot of growing up. The guys who are already adults when they join less so.
not to be a downer but the love of my life went into the air force and she came out a completely different person. i couldn't be with her anymore because of it. the distance for 3 months with no contact at all certainly didn't help either...





but all couples are different. maybe he'll handle it better than my ex did.
You know what he will do.
