hi all! i'm a "veteran" wife, meaning i was in the military when I met my hubby. we've been married for almost four years. I'd like to help with acrongyms and what things mean if you'd like. I know it can be confusing if you've never been in, or your spouse doesn't describe it very well.
My husband is going to Boot Camp in Great Lakes on April 20th! It's right around the corner... anyone have any advice for those first couple of days?
Hi everybody... just joined the group! My husband and I just got married over his holiday leave before he left for A school. He just transfered out of the Ceremonial Guard and headed to electronics school. We weren't planning to get married until September, but I found out about a month ago that I'm having a baby! We're very excited, but we decided to move the date up and get me on his insurance and guarantee that I will be on his orders after A school. But since he is still getting settled at school, he hasn't had a chance to do any paper work saying we're married, or sign me up for Tricare. I haven't been to the doctor yet and I'm almost 3 months. I'm really starting to get panicky. Any info on how long this might take or what I can do in the mean time (having no alternative insurance) would be an absolute blessing!
Thanks again, and I look forward to getting to know other women living the life I just signed up for =)
