The military is huge on taking care of family members. They have services coming out the ears to help you with everything you need.





The Military is a different type of life style... but it can be a very rewarding one.Advice from military spouses?
Get a will, enroll your kids in DEERS, and have a family care plan. Also, start planning for his deployments NOW!!! You will be in charge of everything. Make sure the finances are covered. Consider all possibilities.





GOOD LUCK!
Jane S has some great advice. All of that stuff needs to be on your to do list.





Are you going to get married in your state or his? What base are you filing paperwork at? If it's not his base then find a website for the base you'll file at and find out where all the offices are.





If he's in a unit have him ask for the ombudsman's contact information. The ombudsman (I think some branches also call them Key Volunteers) is a spouse who has volunteered to help families and the military communicate. She should have a lot of information on what needs to be done and where...at least at your BF's base.





She may be able to get you in contact with the FRG (Family Readiness Group) for your DH's unit too. The FRG is a good way to meet people at your new base. A lot of them maintain information on the web that you might be able to access even before you move. They can get you started off with activities and information you'll need, especially as you get closer to deployment.
Advise I'm giving you is when he's about to deploy but it doesn't hurt to start now. You're going to need powers of attorneys (there are several), id card, enroll you in Tricare,dental, contact numbers, put your info with the command/ombudsman (for spouse meetings), wills (both), know what's on each other's last will so no surprises. Know his family's contact info and his allergies.





Know the access numbers/codes, passwords, permission to speak with a rep from each of these:





Savings, checkings, credit cards, utilities, cell phones, car insurance, bills, debt.





Copies of drivers license and social security cards.


Last but not least, congratulations!
Not sure what you mean? you yourself can join the military as well and get deployed. you two can fight for what you believe in together. that's the way i'd go.
