is it okay??

does anyone know if it is okay to give out a military person's number? I am trying to help someone out with getting overseas medical clearence and was wanting to give her the number of the person that helped me. I dont think it would be a big deal but then again there is a reason you cant just google the number in the first place. I  want to make sure it is okay before i give it out.

Thanks!!!!

two different answers not sure which one is right?

It has been a year since my husband joined the navy and six months since he left for boot camp. As of right now he is in for four years active followed by four years on reservs. He is stationed in Cuba and will be there for about three years. My question is does his four years start as soon as he enlisted or when he left for boot camp or when? I hear different things and not sure which is right. Does anyone know for sure?

Thanks

doctors??

Hey everybody I have a question about seeing a doctor. My husband is stationed over seas and is in the process of getting me down there with him. We almost have it all done except for getting my medical clearence. His chief is going to be sending me the correct papers to get filled out and then send back to them for processing. Sounds easy enough but my only problem is I dont know where to go to find the right doctor. Can I just go to my regular doctor or does it have to be a military…

is he ok??

My sailor has been at his first station for about a week now and I am very worried about him. He normally calls me every night or sends me a message or something to let me know that he is okay. The last time we talked was friday morning about things he needed paperwork wise and he told me he would call later to let me know how it all went. The call never came but i just put it off as he got busy and would call tomorrow(saturday). He told me he had plans to go out swimming with some friends…

need a passport but dont know how

I just found out I am going to need a passport in order to go with my husband. I did some research online and found that I can expidite one to get it here faster but that is very costly. Is there anything the military can do for me or am I on my own with this.

changing of orders

I got a call from my fiance yesterday saying he had heard orders were getting changed to Korea and areas around there. He didnt know why or what all was happening and no one else seemed to know either. Does anyone know what could be going on and how big of a chance there is that his orders will get changed from states to somewhere over there?
