How can you move out of a joint lease with husband and still get a good reference?
Honestly if you are leaving him then call a lawyer and get a legal seperation.
Then you should be able to take the papers to your rental company and they may work with you. You might want to just try talking to your landlord anyway and see what he/she says.

Can a navy seal go have another kid with who is not his wifes kid?
Do you mean "Can a SEAL have a kid with another woman, even though he is married?"
The answer to that is no. Adultery is a crime in the military that can be punished under UCMJ. However, it is very hard to prove because of the typical lack of evidence. It cannot just be a "he said, she said" case. Most adultery cases end out being charged as inappropriate fraternization. For officers, this charge can be a career killer and, most enlisted usually get general discharges for it. If the accused had a child, like your question asked, then the SEAL would probably be charged with adultery since the child is proof of the illicit relationship. He would most likely be removed from the SEALs and busted down a rank or two. He woud also recieve an official reprimand in his military record. His career would be over and he would be discharged within time as "other than honorable".

A Vietnam veteran, Ronald Ridenhour, threatened to reveal what he had been told about My Lai. This forced the United States Army to conduct an investigation into the incident. The official inquiry resulted in the court martial of only Lt. Calley. The Army did take steps to prosecute others involved in My Lai. About two dozen men were charged, including Captain Medina, but Calley was the only one convicted. On 29 March 1971, Calley was convicted of the premeditated murder of 22 civilians. (He had been accused of killing 109) He was sentenced to life in prison at hard labor. President Nixon intervened on Calley's behalf and ordered him to serve his sentence under house arrest. Various appeals brought his sentence down to 20 and then 10 years. Calley was released after serving three and one half years under house arrest, most of the time served at his apartment in Fort Benning, during which time he was allowed visits by his girlfriend. Many felt (feel) he was the scape-goat for My Lai. From the information I can find on the net, at sites like Find Law.com, William Calley is currently living in Ohio, is 63 or 64 years old, and working as a jeweler. MrV

Joseph S Benner was a marvellous writer on spiritual matters around the turn of the 1900's. He wrote, as far as I know, "the Way to the Kingdom", "the Impersonal Life", "Brotherhood", "The Teacher", "Wealth", "The Way Out" and "The Way Beyond" I have the first three of these books in my collection. Especially "The Way to the Kingdom" has hugely instrumetnal in shaping my own spritual undertanding. He wrote these books anonymously and it was only in later years that I was able to discover his name. I believe that there is a special Trust in his name that works to distrubute his books, which are published by De Vorss and compay. I absolutely recommend the ones I have read. posted by Andre Walters
Uniformed Services Identification and Privilege Card. It is the term used to describe the ID card, usually for family members of an active duty military member. This is commonly referred to as a "Dependent ID Card", though this term is deemed by some as derogatory toward the family member.
Yes, a military spouse can claim unemployment benefits when their service member is changing duty stations, but eligibility may vary based on state regulations. In Colorado, spouses may qualify for unemployment benefits if they meet the state's criteria, such as having worked a certain number of hours or weeks prior to filing. It's important for the spouse to apply for benefits in the state where they are relocating, as each state has its own rules regarding unemployment claims. Additionally, they should gather necessary documentation to support their application.
If an Army wife has an affair is she entitled to retirement benefits?
In general, an Army wife who has an affair may still be entitled to retirement benefits, as these benefits are typically based on the length of the marriage and the service member's years of service, not on the spouse's fidelity. However, the specific circumstances of the divorce, including state laws and the terms of the divorce settlement, can influence the division of assets and benefits. It's advisable for individuals in such situations to consult with a legal expert to understand their rights and options.
Military spouses can have medical marijuana in California, but they are not allowed to take it into any military facility or you and your spouse can get into trouble.
What does spc in the army mean?
SPC is an abbreviated form of the rank of Specialist, which is the highest lower enlisted rank before one becomes a noncommissioned officer.
Can a long-distance marriage work in two military services?
It depends on the people. But if both want to make it work, it will. You can always talk to your boss' and see if you can be stationed near or with each other. A lot of times they will work it out for married couples.
Like it says above, it depends on the people. I happen to work in a job where i deal with a lot of people who seem to like cheating. It always seems as soon as the wives husband goes on deployment not even 2 hours later they get caught cheating, and same with husbands with wives leaving. I made it one of my points to never start a relationship with someone who is in the military. But it't up to you.
It's called "join spouse" when two military members get married they are required to fill out this form. The form gives you three options (I think). They are: Station us together, give us the option of being stationed together, don't bother stationing us together. There may not be a lot of options depending on your jobs. As a side note: only one quarter of tech school marriages last beyond four years (notice how that is the length of one enlistment?). Be sure you know what you are doing! Good Luck.
Well from my experience I am in the Air Force and my husband is in the Navy. It took 9 months after we got married to get stationed together. So yes you have to fill out the join spouse paperwork and so does your spouse and they have to want the same thing you do. If not it won't work and it can take anywhere from 1 month to a year. Depends on your job. And I agree about the tech school marriages. I seen them build up and fall down. I have been in 6 years nothing wrong with taking it slow. Long-distance marriages can work but it takes dedication that you don't gain from someone else or overnight it has to be something you are willing to do. All a part of marriage is sacrifice so if you are ready for that life hun GOD SPEED!! And another thing the military will try to station you together but it may not happen it is in the best intrest of the armed forces. You have other options such as trading to get to a closer base. But that is an out of pocket expense, while join spouse is government funded.
Don't Do It!
Yes, of course, everything is possible! We can win the Lottery tomorrow! We can inherit a million dollars from a rich uncle in Bolivia! But, let's be real. Chances of a good marriage when you live apart are slim. This is a bond that can only work if you intend to get out of service in a few years. You must find a way to live together to construct a relationship. Having been in the service myself, I know all about the distractions and, of course, there are many. More on "CompatibleLives.com"
