My Nephew is going into the Army in January. He signed up in November, but got engaged and is getting married in December. The woman he is married to is all ready in the Army. He was told by his cousin, that they would discharge him if he gets married. Is this true or a bunch of bull?

Total bull. He needs to get a certified copy of his marriage certificate and have his recruiter add it to his paperwork package. She's eligible for benefits starting the day he goes on active duty.

Bull, marriage cannot cause you discharge in the Army. She got a chance though if ever the woman is pregnant and both of them in the army and she don't have family care plan, she can get away from it, but your nephew he cannot get discharge.

My brother did exactly the same thing and he is on his second deployment in Iraq. At this point I think he wishes he would get thrown out LOL. He has friends that have gotten married just for the extra money while they were deployed. I don't think that is to bright of an idea but it is done every day. I wish your nephew the best of luck and I hope he stays safe and happy. God Bless and I will keep him in my prayers.

Bull. If he marries a man, then he could get discharged.

nuthing but a bunch of BULL, he signed his name on the dotted line, so he got married to some one that was active,, they will station him with her or with in 50 miles of her location, but that's all.

Its not true - he will have to develop a family care plan (if there are children), but no discharge.
