US Military Spouses & Families

Yes, effective February 11, 2013. This benefit was specifically enumerated among those that are available immediately to same-sex spouses of US military personnel in a memo from Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta. This represents a change in policy as of this date.

Gives a sense of belonging

If it manifests itself through alcohol or other drug abuse, AWOL, or other "insubordination"-esque behaviours, yep.

Also, the military is no place for someone depressed.....only makes the situation worse.

Good luck, try not to get booted like I did.

I believe that's possible, since BAH is offered to every military member with a family, and I doubt that they discriminate against the people where both spouses are in the military. But if it doesn't work out for you, you can always take out one of those awesome loans at a ridiculously low rate from websites like militaryloans.com or some company along those lines.

Both spouses can only collect BAH if they are living on separate bases, and they were both approved to live out of the barracks, in most cases tho if one spouse has it the other is requested to stay on base because most won't authorise 2 BAH's

According to my last contact with LtGeneral William B. Caldwell IV, he informs me he lost his wife and four out of five children an an automobile accident while vacationing in Australia. He claims his only remaining son is currently attending West Point Academy....truth or fiction?

Best answer here is you may be able to. There have been successful lawsuits in the past when there have been instances of criminal negligence or lack of reasonable oversight.

If you spouse was injured as a result of duties while deployed, the success of such a suit is likely slim. While many of us, especially me, are thankful for your spouse's service, injuries in the line of duty are part of the mission.

There are a number of other avenues you may have open to you though for financial and family support. Contact your VA and AMVETS representatives and keep asking questions. If your spouse is now disabled as a result of injuries received in service, you and he will be eligible for his disability pension, and may also be able to collect SSI for you and your children.

Again, I am so sorry you and your family are experiencing this. It will get better though. Educate yourself to the system, and learn what they can and must do for you and your family.

Moving out of state after a layoff doesn't disqualify you -- the program is based on wages and payroll taxes, not geography. If you move after starting to get benefits in California, simply continue to follow the rules of the program and send in your biweekly claim forms to the same office as always. If you apply after moving, the process might get a bit tricky but is usually doable.

Any travel longer than 4.5 hours might result in a deduction for that day, even if it is a Sunday, as you are obligated to be able to come in for an interview on any given moment.

No, the army pays for the soldier...

Answer this question...personnel determined by the secretary of defense (SECDEF)

Effective June 26, 2013, the same-sex legal spouse of an active-duty member of the US military is entitled to the same benefits as any other spouse, including health insurance. It is important to note that the benefits are available regardless of whether the state where the parties live recognizes their marriage or not.

Prior to June 2013, the military had announced that it would grant health insurance benefits to same-sex partners of military personnel by October 2013, without explicitly stating that the partners needed to be married, although it is likely that benefits will now only be given to persons who are legally married, not to parties in a civil union or domestic partnership.

usually only your direct family - wife or children. parents are not usualyl allowed, check with your housing office to see what the rules are at that base.

Just to clarify, that is only if you are officially married! But if you decide to live off post then you can move in with him but they don't get the housing allowance until you are married.

When you are applying for a job you can use your spouse preference. It is kind of like a Veteran's preference. It is just giving you a preference over someone who is non-military affiliated.

Immediate family only.

They do however, if they are military dependents, have use of base or post services such as the BX/PX.

Phase II of casualty assistance in the military is a second visit with your immediate commanding officer. Phase I involves initial contact between the injured and the officer.
