How can me and my boyfriend go into the Air Force but live together after basic training???

Question

Me and my boyfriend have a dream to go into the Air Force.

I know it is service before self and He and I both want to serve our country.

But we also want to get married and have kids while in the Air Force.

Is this possible?

How dose this work?

Should we get married before we go in?

I just need some help on to when we should do this stuff.

We are still in HS.

I know this may sound crazy.

Please no rude answers!

Thank you.

Answer 1

The best thing to do is talk to a recruiter. But it's also good you're asking around too, because recruiters don't tell you EVERYTHING. Trust me, I know ... my husband and I are dual military.

I'm not sure how the air force works, but I can give you my own experience in the army. In your situation ... I would get married before joining the military. It gets all the paperwork and bs you have to go thru outta the way. We enrolled in something called the army spouse program (don't quote me on the name). In general, it's a program in which the army tries to station us within 50 miles from each other. It's not guaranteed, but they try their best and at least we're enrolled.

Being married, you can request off base housing. You'll (both) get BAH (basic allowance for housing) single without dependent rate. That is if you are stationed within a reasonable distance from each other. If you're in one state and he's in another, you'll have no choice but to live in the barracks. This also applies if you're at one end of the state and he's at the other.

Hope this helped. Good luck.

Answer 2

I would recommend getting married before going to basic. The military does TRY to keep married service members together but there has to be an opening for both of you where you end up at. Both having the same MOS would be helpful but even then it is not a guarantee.

Unless you are married the military will not recognize the relationship and offer zero benefits.

Aside from that, some honest advice would be to wait on the marriage part. If you join the military your life is about to change in ways you can't even imagine. That change might very well make the two of you closer but it could also tear you apart. If a marriage is meant to be it will wait a few years and withstand a separation.  

Answer 3

The military will pay for a service member to move his/her spouse to each duty station after MOS school. Not the girlfriend/boyfriend.

I HIIIIIIGHLY recommend you wait a few years before getting married. The USA has a 50% divorce rate...military couples have a 60-75% divorce rate because they get married young because they think they're ready for everything. Don't jump into these things. But I'm sure you will anyway, and then you'll say, "d**n, I should have listened."  

Answer 4

First, YOU need to have command of the English language!

If you want to be assigned together, YOU need to be in the same MOS field!

If you are not in thre same MOS, YOU will be separated during BCT and Tech school, then, you will get joint domicile and will be assigned at the same Base for your first assignment!

However, deployments are another issue!

Get married before you join, submit all the paperwork, so the AF will identify you as a married military couple!

Answer 5

OK....

graduate high school...

enlist in the air force

go through basic training

get married.

Answer 6

First, there is a good chance your technical schools will be at different bases - colocation generally isn't possible until your first PCS assignment.  Even if you were both at the same base for technical school, you probably would not be allowed to live together - married or not.  It is still a "training" environment, and is just a relaxed entension of basic training with focus on your career AFSC (Air Force Specialty Code).

Answer 7

no way the government and your would be assign atation will let u two live under one roof much more if u 2 r not in the same company.you need to get married to be qualify for military housing because as long as you are not married,ur *** belong to the barracks.u can live outside the base too (evevn single) but u have to have a certain rank in which it's varries into different service because u have to earn the rank(means trust,responsibility,reliability,etc...)... live outside the barracks.get married now!
