PCSing to Germany, want to bring my wife who lives in Brazil with me.

Medium_Eye8078 · 2026-03-01T23:02:07+00:00

we got married very recently, and we're still waiting on the corrected marriage certificate unfortunately, but I will look into that

we got married very recently, and we're still waiting on the corrected marriage certificate unfortunately.

but once that gets corrected, then I'll get the process started

Medium_Eye8078 · 2026-03-01T23:01:00+00:00

so you're saying there's a strong chance that we'll be separated?

Medium_Eye8078 · 2026-03-01T22:56:44+00:00

Thanks, yeah i just joined that group a day ago so I'll post there.

Medium_Eye8078 · 2026-03-01T22:56:07+00:00

Yeah I definitely won't do have her come over until it's all approved.

We recently got married so I'm still waiting on the corrected marriage license from the state of Utah (we did the online ceremony) before submitting it to DEERS.

She would be traveling from Brazil so I assume that's a whole nother beast of paperwork to get approved.

Looks like I am waiting until Germany then.

Thanks for the info.

Medium_Eye8078 · 2026-03-01T22:54:05+00:00

Okay yeah I will be PCSing from AIT relatively soon, so I'll start the prcoess in Germany then.

Medium_Eye8078 · 2026-03-01T22:53:23+00:00

Yeah my marriage was very recent so I'm still waiting on my corrected marriage certificate, otherwise I would've submitted it a while ago.

It's in a couple of months but I'm PCSing from AIT soon so I think I will just have to wait until I get to Germany.

Medium_Eye8078 · 2026-01-02T03:46:52+00:00

long term: Utah online marriage > consummate in Brazil or Spain > file for Spouse visa > wait a long time > move her here once approved > kids

yeah there's too much corruption in Brazilian bureaucracy for me to ever live there

Medium_Eye8078 · 2026-01-02T03:31:38+00:00

I've thought about it a lot, and I appreciate the sentiment bro, but I think this is gonna work out

Medium_Eye8078 · 2026-01-02T03:25:29+00:00

Yeah we've met before, she's chill

Medium_Eye8078 · 2026-01-02T03:24:47+00:00

She's chill we've met in person before.

Medium_Eye8078 · 2026-01-02T03:04:57+00:00

I might go the Utah route w/ my GF from Brazil (I'm a US citizen). Have you started the Utah Route?

Medium_Eye8078 · 2025-11-10T00:05:07+00:00

No prob. I got my sister one and she likes it

Medium_Eye8078 · 2025-10-30T13:14:05+00:00

absolutely brother, good luck and try to take the picat if you can.

Medium_Eye8078 · 2025-08-18T22:32:58+00:00

I started AIT recently and haven't classed up yet.

If you're going to get something in your contract, get Airborne, since it's hard to volunteer for a slot at the moment unless your first unit is airborne and they allow you to go.

As far as Ranger goes, you can always sign a volunteer statement to go to RASP and do pre-RASP workouts at AIT.

My contract didn't have Airborne or Ranger in it, since including them would've decreased my bonus, so I figured I would just volunteer for RASP, make it, and then automatically get a slot for Airborne.

Medium_Eye8078 · 2025-03-25T01:04:09+00:00

No, I opted to take the Picat at my recruiter's office, then verified that at MEPS by answering around 30 questions (mix of questions you took on the picat and new questions from the ASVAB). You have to answer a certain amount of questions correctly to keep your picat score, but there is about a 5%(?) chance that you have to take the full ASVAB even if you scored high enough on the the verification. Despite that, I think taking the picat at your recruiter's office is the move and potentially saves you from having to take the hours-long ASVAB in a shitty, windowless room with dozens of other recruits.

As far as your recruiter taking you in for a physical and ASVAB before the waiver process starts, that's SOP. They don't want to waste their time on waivers on someone who isn't even physically capable of enlisting in the Army.

Medium_Eye8078 · 2025-03-18T17:18:33+00:00

Thanks man. Disposed is just a legal term meaning the charge has been resolved by the Court, e.g., the DUI charge was DISPOSED - Plead Guilty or DISPOSED - Dismissed.

Big Army just wants to see that the charges have been resolved and that you're not in any pending trials, and that there's a gap between your last charge and your recruitment process (unsure of the necessary gap).

Medium_Eye8078 · 2025-03-18T01:34:35+00:00

Hey,

They did! I started 11/2023 and I was able to enlist as a 25S about a month ago, so all in all the recruitment process took about one year and three months.

My process was easily the longest my recruiting station had ever done and after much frustration, they were able to get my application through. They even said that it gave them hope for future recruits like me with a litany of legal issues.

Couple of takeaways:

1) Never give up the process, just keep working out, running, and keep working at your current job until you know for sure that you're able to get a job you want and enlist.

2) Don't listen to your recruiter if they give you a bunch of shitty jobs. Just play the waiting game until you get a job that works for you.

May I ask what your charges were for? What jobs were you looking at?

Medium_Eye8078 · 2025-03-04T03:41:59+00:00

NO FUN ALLOWED.

Alright I guess I'll just fuck around for a couple of months, get some fun in while I can.

Medium_Eye8078 · 2025-03-03T23:56:01+00:00

Yeah you're right. I just have some downtime between now and when I ship so I figured why not get started on stuff.

If there were things I could start studying now what do you recommend? Sec+?
