all answers are welcome, but i prefer someone with military knowledge because i need a serious answer for a serious situation, thank you :)
my boyfriend and i have always planned to get married early. however, he is getting deployed in april 2012. we are positive that we're signing papers before he leaves, i just want to know if there's any requirements (do we have to be married for a specific amount of time to receive benefits, etc.) any knowledge would be great, thank you.
If your boyfriend is active duty enlisted you and he may have to go through marriage counseling and get his commanders permission for him to marry. Like I said this may have changed since I was in the military though it is something he needs to check out. This way there is no reason for the military to withhold benefits or discipline him for violating any general orders.
