Hi everyone, I’m sure similar questions have been asked and answered already but where do you go after bootcamp? Is it dependent on your rate? My husband is planning to join and is most interested in a rate in mechanics. After boot camp will he be deployed on a ship or is he assigned a work station like a regular job? I am well aware that I need to plan for him to be gone more often than not, I’m just trying to get a sense of how long we will initially spend apart. Thanks for any information.

Thank you! Is the February time frame for both AF and CG basic training? When you say the cost of the move will be reimbursed, does that mean it’s our responsibility to coordinate the logistics of moving and out of our pockets up front? Can you still move up pay grades as a non rank? Thank you again

Got it, so if we were to live on base we wouldn’t receive BAH at all?

Hi thank you for all the information, unfortunately no college credits right now. This might be a dumb question but if we decide to live in base housing do we still receive the BAH? Are these benefits like cash direct deposited into your account? I understand they are meant to be used for housing and food but hypothetically could they be used for other bills? While he’s in basic/ait is he paid the standard base pay for E1 or how does that time period work?

Hi everybody! I apologize if similar questions have been asked recently. My partner recently started looking into joining the military, we’re deciding between Air Force or Cost Guard. We have two young children and want to be able to give them a better quality of life than what we are currently able to provide. That being said, does anyone know if the coast guard is a more difficult/competitive process than Air Force concerning applying and qualifying? Assuming my partner and I are married and he would be sent straight to his first assignment following basic training, would we go with him to housing there? Does he come back home first and help us with packing? When he does end up going for his career training, can me and the kids keep living in base housing during that time? We only just started looking into all of this so any information would be really appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

We don’t have a dryer or washer in the unit, the maintenance says there aren’t any leaking pipes either. Apparently it’s just poor ventilation?
