My boyfriend of a few years is in boot camp right now, and will be going to MOS school in pensacola after MCT. the school is longer than 6 months. is it possible to live with him without being married? is it even worth it or will he not have time for me while in school?

Bad situation. His Recruiter is an idiot. When and where you can live with him is not the issue at all. Unless your boyfriend applied for and got a waiver to enlist as a single parent with dependent children (does not happen) he told the Marines that he is single with no shared custody of any children - that they either did not exist or that he had surrendered full custody for at least the term of his first enlistment (4 years) - he lied to enlist. That said, when he pops up married and with two children who are his biological children and the Marine Corps looks at his original enlistment papers, unless he got that waiver (can't), he will likely get hit with a charge of Fraudulent Enlistment (Federal felony) and separated from the Marines with something less than an Honorable Discharge. I am having a very hard time seeing how he can get past this problem UNLESS he got a waiver to enlist - which they do not give for having out-of-wedlock dependent children. If he did not get that he lied to enlist by either failing to admit to being a single parent or falsely swearing to surrender custody for the entire term of his first enlistment it will reach up and bite him on the a$$. If he surrendered full custody to you and he gets married then he violates the terms of his enlistment. Ever think that marriage should PRECEDE pregnancy? The military may not be "trendy" but they still think that way. I don't see a beneficial way out of this for the four of you.

Cody it is not AIT thats the Army the Marine Corps has MOS schools please quit talking about the Marine Corps since you obviously don't know. No you cannot live with him at his MOS school regardless of if you are married or not. Once he is at his PDS you can live off base with him but you won't be able to have access to the base if you don't have a military ID and you can't have an ID without being married.

My son went to school in Pensacola. Your boyfriend will live in a barracks for Marines training on the base. You won't be able to live with him until he's been assigned to his permanent duty station.
Further... Once he is assigned to his permanent duty station, he won't be eligible for off-base housing allowance unless he is married or reaches the rank of Corporal. Unless one of those things happens, he will have to live on base in the bachelor enlisted barracks.

NO! You can follow him to Pensacola like a groupie and live in a flea bag hotel!
He will probably be too busy going thru training! 24/7

He will not get money for a house out in town if you guys are not married. He probably can get away with getting a place out in town but he would have to keep up a rack in a room in the barracks. He would also have to show up for field day formation on Thursdays and early in the morning for PT. Your best bet, get married, good luck

If he is allowed to live out in town, he will not get paid for you to live with him (although who he does live with is entirely up to him). One flaw in the military pay system is that they pay young sailors, soldiers and marines more if they are married and they also give them the privilege of living off post if they are married. Don't make the mistake of getting married too young just so you can live together. If you are truly in love it will last a few months until he gets to his permanent duty station. The Navy and Marine Corps leadership is currently working on changing the pay scale so that its not an issue, be patient, you will be together again if its meant to be. Good Luck!
P.S. He'll likely have plenty of free time while in school.

In Pensacola years ago, we had Navy and Marines that lived offbase with their spouses.
You have lots of time while you are in school and it might save him some pains if he lived offbase. Living in the barracks can be miserable sometimes, Especially in a training command.

no not during MOS school. even if he were out of MOS school and doing his regular job he would have to have special permission from his command to live out in town since he wouldnt be married. 6 months isnt so bad to be away, at least you know he is safe! it will be good practice for future deployments.

nope. he will be not allowed to live anywhere but the barracks while in school since he is not married. you would have to pay everything out of pocket and he would not be able to spend much time with you at all. totally not worth it.
