If you have already chosen a rate you'll attend that A school (90% entering go this route). You will not be authorized to draw B.A.H. (basic allowance for housing, get used to acronyms now) until you're an E-5 or married (have dependent). That doesn't mean you have to live in the barracks if she has decent job and split a small apartment.

The best advice I can give you there is weigh your options and don't rush into marriage just yet. It is a large transition into military life and newlywed stress in the early transition are high on the list for military divorce rate. Service is a team effort when it comes to family life. In short wait until you both have your feet firmly planted before plunging into marriage.

Keep this in mind when talking to a recruiter. He justifies his shore time by putting bodies into the service. The out right honest ones are few and far between, so take anything they say with a grain of salt.

I'm still around if you have anymore questions.

def take advice from those who've been in refrain from jumping into marriage until you know she can handle the lifestyle. it's a serious change of life. get to know as much as you can from the recruiter then double check all of it with someone who will be honest with you. I have an old friend here in CT who just joined the recruiting office for the navy and he was given the whole "the more you get the better" speech.

<< personally won't congratulate you until you finish boot. till then you've made an ok decision (that's only cuz I'm a MARINE) lol...
