I want to join the air force reserves but my husband is active duty marines?

What happens if he gets stationed overseas or there is not an opening in my mos at a near base?


Will the military pay if I have to travel for drill?I want to join the air force reserves but my husband is active duty marines?
if you get stationed overseas, or your husband gets stationed overseas then the other becomes non-deployable, unless you sign a waiver to be deployed also.





if you have to travel over 50 miles, the mil is required to reimburse you.





say, your husband is stationed in japan, then you can go into the irr early.I want to join the air force reserves but my husband is active duty marines?
I have never heard of being nondeployable because a spouse is stationed overseas. Both spouses can deploy regardless of location, that is what a family care plan is for. Yes you can serve overseas in an IMA status (if you can find a slot like me) but not as a TR assigned to a stateside unit.

Hello beachbum





You are putting your situation into a bad set of circumstances.





I would not advise you to join the Air Force Reserves if your husband is a Marine.





First, there are few Marine bases around the world and in the USA. You already know where all the Marine bases are. If not, just go the the Marines' webpage and you will see where they all are located.





The Marines are stationed in California, Arizona, Georgia, South Carolina, Hawaii, Virginia, Okinawa, and Japan.





Air Force bases are located in many states and more overseas countries than the Marines. If you join the Air Force you will be sent to Lackland AFB on active duty for 8 1/2 weeks for basic training. Then, you will be sent to either Sheppard AFB, Wichita Falls, Texas, remain at Lackland AFB, San Antonio, Texas or go to Keesler AF, Biloxi, Mississippi for additional skill training in the career field you are assigned to.





Technical school can run from 8 - 48 weeks, depending. Then, you will be returned to your state to the Air Force Reserve unit you are being assigned to.





I assume you will be joining the Reserves in the same state as your husband is assigned to his Marine base; those being the states mentioned above.





You will go to meetings each weekend and then go on active duty two weeks in the summer. If the President calls up your reserve unit you might find yourself on extended active duty in an overseas location for 12 - 18 months.





All this time you will be separated from your husband.





If you are on Okinawa, Japan, or Hawaii you will not be paid for travel to make your drill meetings in the state where you are assigned.





Frankly, I don't see the logic of you going any military service. Your Marine husband has to remain ready for alert deployments 24/7. You tie yourself down by joining the military. It could end up causes you both much marital stress.





One option you might consider is civil service employment on his Marine base. At least in civil service you can depart if he is stationed on Japan or Okinawa on a long tour. You can always go with him then and enjoy the visit and living in Japan together.





I would reconsider your decision to join the military. You can be of greater service to your country by supporting your Marine husband.
