I went the army website, and it said that if his AIT is 20 weeks or longer, we can relocate to be with him, but he can't actually move in with us until after his 11th week. His AIT is one week shy of 20 weeks (19 weeks). Is there any way to get a Waver for this?! He goes to meps today!! He is going to be an aircraft electrician (15F)!

Because your husband will be in training, you will see very little of him, he has to stay in the barracks to ensure that the soldier is accounted for. You may visit, however it is going to be better for you to let him go to school and then when its time to PCS to the new duty station, go then. I have not heard of the army paying to move family members to the location of a soldier in AIT. It may suck being away from your husband for 19 weeks but you will waste way more money trying to move out there to be near him when he cant spend very much time with you. Better you stay where you are and let him focus on school, then move with him when he goes to his first duty station. No there are absolutely no waivers for this. you can relocate but will be out of pocket more than likely- he should look at his orders to see if relocation of family members is authorized and will be paid for by the army. besides if he is at MEPs today, he wont be going to his MOS training for at least 8-10 weeks until he completes basic.

wow, ignore AD, he's a ******* moron. Yes some long AIT courses are permanent party. no, a 5 month one will probably not be one of them. Easy way to find out, if you can, or cannot will be in the orders your husband gets for AIT. Don't listen to other people who suspect anything, the only thing that matters is what is on those orders. My AIT was only 4 months, not permanent party. My high school buddy went to a school that was 48 ******* weeks, but for a certain portion, he was locked down and after that time was "permanent party" and could stay with wife and all. in the meantime, if he had dependents (you) rest assured he will be given time to make arrangements to make sure you have a place to live, whether that's on post without access to him or he will receive BAH which is technically yours, for off post housing. I do NOT know however at which point he is entitled to that. after basic, or after (or mid for permanent party) AIT. He can all his cadre/command when he gets there for direct answers and not just some asshole's hearsay. Point being, relax. Yes, it sucks being away from loved ones for a while, and no, it's not always less than a goat-****, but it will get handled when the time comes.

AIT is intensive and distractions are unwelcome. If he bolos he may end up going to 11B after recl;assification. My school was 32D and took 23 weeks in 1970. I went along and caught weekend passes twice a month.

DO NOT DO THIS. It will only frustrate you and your husband. AIT is not a cake walk, it is a training school for military personnel. Believe me, he will have his hands full and will have no time for you. It's not the news you wanted but it is the truth. AIT personnel will have a very limited amount of time off, what time they do have they use for studying. They work everyday, long hours. Do yourself and him a favor and do not go. Rmember the old saying "absence makes the heart fonder!"

Its actually over 24 weeks. and No they will not authorize you a waiver to move there with him. 20 weeks isnt long at all and being away from you will actually help him get through AIT without distractions.

Probably not.... it will be better to let him go alone, by the time you get settled into housing (if they let you), he will be near graduation, and you will just have to move again. It will be a pain in the rear, and I seriously doubt they will move you to his AIT location, set you up with housing, just to move you again in 6 months.

Sorry that this is going to sound cruel, but deal with it. If this is the longest you're ever separated for the rest of his career, consider yourself lucky. Look at it as training for both of you. HE needs to learn how to do his job and YOU need to learn how to function without him around all the time.

No i don't believe so. The Army wants him focused on his school. It is a small sacrifice to make. But good luck

no you cant.just like you cant go to Iraq with him even though he will be there a year. sorry you cant go. i know his for a fact. i have a friend who was not permitted to join her husband until he was at his first duty station. they see wives and kids as an unnecessary distraction
