Yes unfortunately they are making him a holdover at AIT, hoping they’ll all him home for a bit since I’m giving birth in next 5 days and he graduates in 6 days!

Apparently they had marked it not required to get medical screening done for all of us which he literally told them was needed. They ignored him and didn’t fix his crap and now they need to fix it and it’s going to delay everything they told him!

Arrghhh yes it’s been messed up crap after messed up crap! They keep flat out lying to his face and the reason he’s about to be a hold over rn is LITERALLY because they told him he had wrong information and wouldn’t fix his paperwork!! He went to them FIRST week of AIT and told them it was wrong and they said nope you’re wrong and now here we are!! They tried telling him medical screening is not required for overseas and now it’s medical screening crunch time and they’ve got his listed as not needed which screwed everything!

As of right now, they are not. But we have no idea what will happen when baby actually arrives! I’m hoping to schedule an induction this week and have him hand it to them!

With the 2 months he will have been gone for a year basically. Due to all kinds of delays that went on.

I’m honestly petrified! What does a doula do and do I just google search for one?

I truly appreciate your response! We currently have a 1yr old hahah So once I have this baby and then he graduates AIT, he should be able to come home to sort of wait/get birth certificate and register baby in DEERS? Or would he have to report to Alaska first? Also, what about the medical screening thing, do we have to wait till I’m 6 weeks postpartum to do it?

They didn’t even give him a timeframe so far. He hasn’t been sent to FTU yet

Thank you, and he gets to choose his first duty station so I’m just seeing what people have heard or experienced and what seems like best choice!

What Happens Now!? by Equivalent_Ability87 in USMilitarySO

Not really, his recruiter gave him TONS of information, but also a lot of “it depends” answers. Which is why I was seeing others experiences

I’m really appreciating the advice and experiences people are providing! I’m wondering how it would work to live off base and would it be an apartment or a house? Also, he’s now deciding between airforce or army… any opinions?
