do i get help with school, medical insurance, dental...?
--------------------
YEs, yes, and yes. I am pregnant and due in Sept. All of my dr. appts and baby expenses are paid...no co-pays or anything...all paid. My friend, whose husband is in the army, is ATTENDING SCHOOL ON BASE FOR FREE and will attend a college when she finishes that....for free. another little known fact....the army will pay for breast implants as well. Research it online, it's true. My husband knows a guy who got his wife breast implants and the army paid. It's supposed to be a thing to boost morale. I personally think its ridiculous. When you get married your husband has to enroll you in the DEERS program...that is the health insurance program. Once he shows the marriage certificate to the appropriate people and gets you a military ID card they will direct you to the office to sign up for DEERS. A little piece of advice......do not get married just for the benefits. Some soldiers use that to lure a lady to marry him and some women marry a soldier just to be "taken care of" that is NO REASON to get married. The military life is a VERY hard one. Your husband will be gone A LOT. They have to go out and do field training for two weeks at a time, they have to go away to schools and train for a month or so at a time...this is pretty frequent. make sure you can handle being alone a lot. This causes some military wives to cheat. And believe it or not MANY soldiers cheat on their wives with the Female Soldiers...beware of that as well. It is VERY common on the base where I'm at. Be sure that you can handle a life where you will not see your husband that often. It is hard but if you truly love him it is SO worth it. Good luck!!
