That way you can be sure that your not getting screwed.

okay...the questions I know that are going to be asked are:
1)will he get the job he wants
2)medical
3)will we get housing or will I have to stay here longer then expected
4)how long will he be in bootcamp or basic training or what ever its called
5)will he get his recruitment bonus all at once or inincrements
thats all that I know he wants to ask...but idk what else would be good questions...could you ask your husband what are the most asked questions?

boot camp is about 8-12 weeks depending on his job..the jobs depends on how high he scores on his entrace exam he will get the sighn on bonus all at once but they tax it so it wont b near as much as they told him so just b prepaird for that,housing im not sure if u get that while hes in FL or not im pretty sure you do then when he finally get his duty station then thats when i no for sure you get it!

yeah we plan on getting married after he graduates..I'm 19 and I'll be 20 when he leaves..I'm a year in a half older then him..I just want to make sure my baby has the health insurance because once we get married my insurance is terminated..his dad said that MAA is a good rank or something like that for my SO...is it different in the navy or is that still like a low military police job?.

Hi, I was in the navy for 10 years, my husband is still active duty and I work for the navy as a civilian. If you get married before he leaves for boot camp, you will have insurance as soon as he is done. Boot camp is 9 weeks long. MAA (master at arms) is military police, and I'm not sure how long the school isbut I think he can go to TX, VA or GA, but he will be required to complete it before he goes to his permanent duty station. He will start out as an E-1, which is Enlisted 1 (kind of like a private). The scale goes from E-1 to E-9 (which takes years to get to). There are MANY programs in the navy that can help you get a degree and become an officer that will be available to your SO.
Check out this link for MAA:

If there is anything else, please feel free to ask!! Good luck!!!!

I'm confused about what you are asking but I think I got it. But it really depends on when his bday is. You can only be in the DEP program for about 6-9 months.

Yes he can. When he finishes his basic training for the job position, he will get his bonus.
