The military doesn't care about your marital status. They just want you to make sure that they don't care. You would be sent anywhere in the world...(like Iraq) on a moments notice and they want you to know that you can't back out at anytime because of you or your hubby's wishes.

I don't think he can legally stop you from entering the military. Is there a reason that you are not getting separated through legal channels? Just know that entering the navy may end your marriage and if you are ready to do that, you should. However, starting boot camp and being deployed is going to be very detrimental if you guys have problems. There is little to no time to work them out being that far apart and living different lifestyles. The military is an entirely different world and lifestyle! Also, if you go into the military with no legal separation, realize that he will be privy to ALL of the married benefits and everything that goes with it. He will be entitled to some of your pay - and they WILL take that from you if he isn't receiving it. good luck!

You should seriously consider getting a legal separation before joining the military. If you are not legally separated and you get a boyfriend, your husband can report you to your commanding officer and you can be charged with adultery, which is a BIG no-no in the military. Good luck.

I was in the Navy and married. (he was actually in the Navy also) It worked out great.
My time in the Navy isa one I would not take back. That is where I met my husband and where I feel I grew as a person and learned so much about life.
Good Luck

Let me put it this way...in the Marines they said if they wanted you to have a wife they would have issued one to you.
Just remember...you go where they tell you too. No choice in the matter. Not unless you want some brig time and a dishonorable discharge.
So...think long and hard before making that commitment.

your of age, YOU decide where your future lies and how you want to get there!
the navy can be a great start for you, but remember that you are committing to at least 4yrs of your life being in someone else's control. i did it, it was a good decision on my part and i grew up a great deal while away.
good luck to you!

If you are 21 nobody but you has the right or ability to tell you what you can and can't do. If you want to join then join!

No actually he can't stop you. He is not your lord and master. I would suggest getting divorced before you go in. Makes things a WHOLE lot easier.
