I suggest you do a tight budget plan and stay consistent with it, as well as keep a hefty savings account for emergency.
The military is a guarantee, but it's not a luxurious life at all, unless you've been active for many terms.
God bless you and your family, and see the links I provided...

The marines will pay you and I believe, by law, your current employer will be required to pay you as well when you are deployed... HOWEVER...
Why would you do this? You already have an established family and you are putting them at risk of losing you.
We are at WAR, so do not think that you will be able to sit at home and put in your 2 weeks a year and be done and make extra money. Chances are good that you will be deployed and, once deployed, you could die.
My best friend's husband died in Iraq. It is a significant risk.
If your devotion to fight for your country regardless of the risk is the motivator, then go and godspeed. Otherwise, please consider your decision wisely.

What rank will you be going in? If you are a junior enlisted it will be tough to make it on that pay even with the extras that are thrown in like Basic Allowance for Housing; that is extra pay you get for being married with a family.
Go to WWW.goarmy.com. I think there is a pay chart listed there. The pay for all services is the same.
Of course you could talk to a recruiter and ask to see a pay chart.

I didn't read your whole insert but I'll say this. The government will take care of your kids but not the way you would take care of them. Do a little research and ask other people who have joined the marines in your same position and ask them how is the government treating their family.

Hi Galo,
I think the goverment will help your mom with your kids but u should inform yourself first. My husband is in the marines but we dont have kids together so i can't tell u if they do. Good luck!!!

you could no longer get BAH yet especially much all leases enable you to interrupt them whilst on energetic armed forces accountability. If its non everlasting and you'd be able to desire to maintain your place you will would desire to make your ideas up the thank you to pay. you could no longer say any element to the recruiter different than the actuality. don't be silly.

Talk to your recruiter and your bank about making arrangements for your spouse to receive your pay through automatic transfer.
