So, can I move or not? H E L P
So I was talking to my boyfriend the other day (who is on hold in GL, waiting for his orders for C-school) and we were discussing how it would be like when he finally gets his orders. We have a 6 month old son together, and he informs me that we (my son and I) can move w/ him even though we are not married.
Now before the rants begin, I am a daughter of a retired navy chief, and I have always understood that if the sailor is N0T married then the significant other can not move to his/her station. So my question is, have they changed the rule? Can sailors who now have children, move there family to their duty station and live in military housing (yes he mentioned that we can live in housing as well) even if they are not married? I'm so used to the old rule, and when I asked my dad he told me he wasn't aware that they changed the rule.

I believe how it works is that the housing is based on the fact that he has a son, which means he has a dependent. His son would be a dependent, but you are not. Just like your son can be on tricare, but you cannot. I'm not sure how it would work for you to live on base but not have a military id though. I know it happens, not sure what all the rules are though. I'll just give my short rant though......if you love him, get married :)

His child would be eligible for housing and you could be designated as a live in care taker under his Family Care Plan. If he gets BAH and rents, then no one cares. I'd be more worried about what happens during deployment if you don't have full access to the base and so on, no access to the FRG. I know if you son has an ID card, you can go to the NEX and commissary for him, and take him on base for medical, but there are times when you need to take care of paperwork... you'll need a POA at all times. What happens to your son if YOU get sick and your sailor is at sea?
Your son's travel to the new duty station would be paid for, yours would not.
Seems like getting married would solve a lot of these problems. There would be a lot LESS paperwork if you were a spouse instead of a "caregiver". That's just an opinion, so don't take it harshly.

OH no harsh feelings at all, I'm so ready for the marriage thing, he just wants to wait until he is done w/ c-school or figures out where he is going for c-school (if it was up to me we would have been married years ago ! lol) I just wanted to know what my options were if we do not get married within the time he says. I guess since it is possible it would just be something I have to think about. He is on hold we have been waiting on orders since December, so I guess we just have too see where he goes and then take the next step.
