How does the whole spouse thing work when you are on active duty?

Like if I were to go off to boot camp and decide after that I wanted to get married, how would I go about ensuring that she came with me? I am looking to know from someone who has seen it happen in the military or knows of a place in which I can read about it. Thank youHow does the whole spouse thing work when you are on active duty?
You would have to turn in a marriage certificate and work on getting your wife on your orders. Sometimes it can be done in a timely manner before you go to your first station if you are saying you would marry between basic and ait, but often times she would just be moving on her own to your first station and would then be added to future orders when you PCS. If you are sure you want to marry her and take her to your first station after training, the best idea would be to marry before you leave for basic so you have your marriage certificate in with your papers at the beginning.How does the whole spouse thing work when you are on active duty?
First thing you are going to want to do is enroll her into DEERS and then TRICARE. After that you can get her an ID and the military will pay you to move yourself and your spouse to where your ultimate duty station is. All this is stuff that your chain of command can help you with. Make sure that you pay attention to the details in the paper work in this and everything else that you do in the military. You can also find instructions online. Just do a google search and you can find what you are looking for. Hope that this helps and if you need more info just let me know.
I am a military spouse and I married my husband right after basic training. He was still in tech school when we got married and it wasn't a problem at all. I just moved down there and the military gave us a base house to live in. You just take your marriage certificate to personnel and they will add your spouse as your dependent. She will immediately start getting all the benefits and everything.
My husband is in the Army...I can't speak for any other branch. I have no clue if its different or the same in other branches.





After bootcamp you will go to AIT for your MOS training. If your AIT education lasts longer than 19 weeks she will be able to go with you. If it is shorter than 19 weeks, she will have to wait until you have completed AIT and are assigned to your duty station. If you are married before bootcamp you still get BAH. If you wait until after bootcamp and are married while you're in AIT...you will still get BAH. I'm not so sure about health benefits because I was working at the time and had insurance of my own. I'm pretty sure that she would be eligible for insurance though. You wont get your food allowance until you turn in your meal card. It would be easier to either get married before bootcamp or after all of your training. Just my opinion though.





Make sure you get a sealed copy of your marriage certificate. You will need it to enroll her in DEERS.





Good luck.
If you join the military you can get married whenever you want. If you get married your spouse can come live with you on base or you can choose to live off base and the government will give you a housing allowance. The housing allowance depends on the zip code where you will live but it is usually a fair amount.





If you deploy overseas then your spouse cannot go with you during the time of your temporary deployment. Your spouse can go with you overseas only if you are getting permanently stationed overseas and usually depends on the branch you join or the unit you are in.





If your primary concern is to have your spouse with you at all times, I would advise against military service. During your time in the military you will be away from home a lot and if you join while single, I suggest you stay that way.
You're going to have to be more specific. Are you asking about BAH, housing, Family seperation or duty assignments?
it's easier if you get married before you leave, that way she is already on your paperwork, and nothing is going to get delayed because of her.
You need to get married NOW. If you marry her after she will not be on your orders and it will be hard as HELL to get her on them.
