My wife supports me if I am able to join..We are still young and she knows that I have always wanted to join the military.

It's just like your recruiter said, you'll have to get a waiver. Usually you can only have two dependants when you join (wife and one child) but this is waived all the time. However you need to be sure that this is the only waiver you will need. If you need multiple waivers it will be harder to join. So make sure that you are pyshically fit and that your credit is very good (bad credit requires a waiver and you must make payment plans with EVERY creditor).
I love being an Air Force wife. It's challenging and rewarding. I think our son is a better liitle person (he's 3) for being in a military family. Yes, we go through too many deployments to mention. But when you have a strong family and a strong unit, you make it through just fine :0)

I just want to tell you : (as the daughter of an (ex) Airborne Ranger) I respect what you're doing, but I want you to think really hard about your kids before you do. This isn't the military 10 years ago. There are (numerous) wars going on right now. You will get deployed. And you will most likely go to war. There's a chance you will die and leave your wife a young widow and your children fatherless. I feel you should be a father before all else- including a soldier. But you know what my dad said? He says- he knows that if something happened to him, there would always be people around to help take care of his family....but his country NEEDS him and he has to defend it. I can't understand that- I guess soldiers are different then regular civilians. They have a drive and love for this country the rest of us can't fathom. God bless you and keep you safe. Thank you for serving our country and keeping us free. (Just so you know- I love my father with all my heart, and he is my hero. I'm 26 and married- but I'll always be a daddy's girl. I guess being the daughter of a soldier, I don't want your children to have to worry about you and miss you the way I would if my dad was at war. But they will always be so proud of you) God bless you, Patriot (oh and yes- you can still enlist)

In the air force one of my troops went through basic and tech school with the kids and wife. I do not believe that by itself is a problem. You could email another recruiter. It may depend on branch of service. I would ask that question. Is there a difference in branch the qualifications with children?? Waivers are not always hard to get. This usually falls mostly on the recruiter. Good luck!

Possibly.
Before my husband joined they kept saying that 3 was too many (I was pregnant withour 3rd at the time). We had to get a waiver for our 2nd anyway. Once he got in they knew I was pregnant and dh said that it didn't make a difference. So I don't know.
Your recruiter will know for sure.
FWIW The Air Force is way better for families than the other branches, they've taken care of us.

I consider anyone married to already be at war. But with three kids I think the military will be vacation
On a serious note you will have to talk to a recruiter. You can do so online at http://goarmy.com.(because the army is like thousand times better then the navy)

lively responsibility received't take someone with 4 dependents(HUBBY protected). regardless of the indisputable fact that, there's a fashion round it. verify into turning out to be a member of the reserves and then augmenting over to lively responsibility. I did that with one among my applicants that had 3 dependents and it worked. it will be your basically shot. solid success!

Waiver. Anything in addition to that like child support to another child from a previous girlfriend or marriage is a no-go.

you should be able to join the army. I don't think you can join the navy with that many dependants.
