as a wife, what can i expect if my hubby joins the navy reserve as a crane operator?

Question

He hasnt been in the military before, so how long would he be gone for boot camp and all that? What is the pay, does he get paid for going? I need to know it all. I am a stay at home mom that doesnt work, so we would need to earn money somehow.

Answer 1

he will only be paid for the days he is actually Mobilized. so if ends up with a traditional one weekend a month/2 weeks a year, then he gets paid only for that time. Boot camp and schools do count as mobilization, though.

But typically, reserve Pay is much less than what he would be making in the civilian community, so chances are things will be very tight when he cannot work his normal job.


As a crane operator, I assume he's is going into the SeaBees. Those guys are being deployed with great regularity to the sandbox for terms of 6-18 months at a time. different rules apply for deployments, including you being eligible for Medical and dental benefits while he's deployed.

You and he both need to sit down and have a good long conversation with his recruiter to find out EXACTLY what will happen as far as his tarining goes and where he will be sent for his duty station.

Answer 2

Boot camp is 9 weeks. Then he'll have whats called "A" school. Im not sure how long that is. He will get paid, but it takes acouple weeks to get into the system, so save up some money before he leaves. Its a great opportonity for your family, the pay is standardized by rand and time in service, googld military pay chart for a better idea what that will be like.
