your GF is entitled to NOTHING.  you are not married. she does not exist in the eyes of the Navy.

and dude you are now INELIGIBLE to enlist anyway.. the Navy considers you a single parent..yes even unborn fetuses are counted for dependency purposes when you enlist.

and with an attitude like that, No Sailor wants you in their navy anyway.

If "family" is so vitally important to you, then get married and do the right thing instead of going down the "baby mama" road. The U.S. Navy is not reponsible for all your s***w ups nor are they bound by any agreement to "contribute to all your assets," whatever the h**l that means.

If you want the Navy to do the "right thing," do it yourself first. Clean up your act.

And, you cannot just "quit" the Navy. You have an enormous amount of growing up to do, pal.

Not sure what you are asking but the Navy could offer your family healthcare and housing. You would have to get married to your girlfriend however. Also, your girlfriend would have to have custody of your child while you are in. You could be on a ship and away on deployment for long periods of time and this can be very difficult on the wives but it is done by many every day. This is a serious commitment you are making when joining the Navy. ALso have you considered what joining he Navy can do for you as well? get a guaraunteed "A" school in a field that is useful once you seperate from the Navy

P.S. You can still back out of DEP before you go to MEPS sign your contract, take your second oath and ship to Great Lakes. Your recruiter will be angry but it is within your rights. After you ship though you are in.

Your Navy "job" will do exactly what a civilian job will do for your GF, nothing. Unless you get married, she is not a dependent. She could file for Child Support which the Navy will withhold from your pay. Please do everyone a favor and do not join. Your attitude is so poor that you will be discharged quickly anyways.

YOU are a dumbass! first of all YOU haven't been to training yet,YOU gf means nothing to the service, marry her then get her paperwork as a dependent then you can get your benefits!

Do us ALL a favor and stay civilian, Good luck providing for your family as a hamburger specialist at Mcdonalds!

WE join the military as a duty to serve and protect the freedoms and our way of life as AMERICANS!

not for financial gain!

In attempts to answer the actual question...  I am not familiar with the ins and outs of the DEP program but the traditional answer is:

Your girlfriend will not get any benefits from the military.  Your baby will get every benefit possible.  The military will not cover any of the pregnancy.  Once the baby is born and you are on the birth certificate as the father, that baby will get all the insurances and priviledges that a military dependent has the right.  That being said, if you are near a military base, you can get the base commanding officer to provide a letter for your childs mother that gives her access to the base and the use of the facilities for the needs of the baby (the commissary, the exchange, daycare, etc...)

I am not sure how BAH would work in your case.

Well, the Navy provides you with a paycheck to support your family. It will provide you with healthcare to take care of your baby. And if you marry your girlfriend, the healthcare will also cover her as well, not to mention that you will recieve housing or money for it. In short, you'll be guaranteed a paycheck, healthcare and a place to live. That means a lot with a baby on the way.

OK...first of all...YOu can't just quit because you are not getting what you want out of something....

If you want something for your girlfriend you are going to need to get married...she is not going to be covered under insurance...the baby will once it is born...but your GF will not.

Your GF will not have any rights to the commissary or PX/BX or medical....

You demanding things from the Navy is not the way to go.  If you want to be taken care of for your family you will need to get married.

Also unless you get married you will not be authorized housing on base.

I don't understand why everyone is being so negative. Talk to your recruiter. You can still enlist as long as you do not have more then 2 dependents. You will need to marry your girlfriend in order for her to take part in the BAS/BAH and insurance. But your baby will be covered. Again, talk to your recruiter. He will have better advice for you then people here.

To your girlfriend-nothing.

To your child- insurance

If you decide to marry your girlfriend however,she will be entitled to insurance benefits as well...You will also receive either base housing or housing allowance (in other words they basically pay your rent,and part of your utilities or all depending on your choice in off-post housing) you will also receive a certain amount of money for groceries.You have a steady paycheck ( you know what youll be getting each month,and with a child thats kind of important) However,you will have to marry your girlfriend to be eligible for this stuff...You will get a little bit of extra pay for your child as a dependant but i dont think youll get housing since in the navy your girlfriend will probably have to have custody of the kid if your not married.

Well to get any help you'll need to marry this girl, so if something happens to you, they can give benefits to her and the child. If you are married, they will give you good health insurance, and if you stay on active duty, they will give you a check every month. But the whole thing is you just can't quit the Navy, you have to stay in it till your time is up, no way of getting out of it, unless you go awall, and guess what they will find you and lock you up, then you won't get to raise a family anyways.
