where can I find the finacial help to relocate back home while my husband is deployed to Iraq for 15 months. The job search is slim, I am educated and have other job offers back home but don't want to commit/contract to one company and have the company relocate me and be obligated to the company for years.

i know there is such a thing as "early return of dependent." i'm not quite sure how that all works but i know my friend left a year and half early to go home before her husband got out of the navy. basically they paid to have all there belongings sent back home and her plane ticket, and they had to give up their housing and her husband had to stay and live on the ship. i want to say thats a one time deal and no going back, if you change you mind they would not pay again to have your stuff shipped. also the lady above me has a good point, i know Navy relief will give you an interest free loan to help out. something to look into.
p.s. Annie doesn't know what she is talking about. Your husband will receive BAH for where YOU are not where he is stationed. I know when my friend chose to go home early to Alabama they were still receiving (by mistake) Hawaii BAH ( where he was stationed) they had to repay a couple thousand back to the navy because of this mistake. now its corrected and she/he are receiving Alabama BAH

The military will not pay to relocate you while your spouse is deployed. You can move, but you will have to pay the entire costs of transportation, shipping household items and storing anything you can't take with you. Also, since it is not an authorized move, it would affect what and how the military would move you to your next base if he was due to PCS after his deployment. If not, they will not pay for you to move back once he is home. He would be eligable for BAH , but it would be at the rate for where he was stationed, not for where you moved to (hard to say if that would be a good or bad thing). As a military wife, you should not consider signing any employment contract that will obligate you to stay in a single place for more than the amount of time left on his orders there . The hard truth is , most spouses do not build thier careers until after retirement or seperation from the military simply because we are not in a place long enough to move up the ladder much. Any company you work for would need to be aware of the fact that you may be moving (and possibly on short notice) because of your husband's military career. Some places will put a clause in your contract in case this should happen. At the very least, you should be sure that the requirements for terminating your employement with them before your contract expires could be met and/or plan for any financial penalties (repayment of moving costs or training programs being two of the most common). Of course, this would not apply if you do not plan to move with your husband...I have known a few military marriages like this and it is not easy. Think about it.

My husband is likewise being deployed and specific the militia will pass you homestead yet then you fairly pays to go decrease back to base. additionally he will in straightforward terms get the quantity of housing allowance this is suggested for the backside wherein he's stationed. You get ONE pass. If I have been you i might stay the place you're, you will lose touch with the different important different and along with your husband. If some thing might replace over there and you husband can no longer enable you to recognize and your FRG chief gets the information, they could no longer bypass it directly to you.

Because your husband's duty station is not changing, the military will not pay for relocation (they see no reason for you to relocate). Have you considered staying? It may be easier to keep things the way they are while he is away, and as you said, you will not be able to keep a job for longer then he is away any way. My reccomendation would be to stay where you are now, and explore your options in the area. Good luck.

its hard to go home during deployments if you really really want to go home push the issue explain what you have just explained here that you are better situated and can get a beter job home and you need the suport of your family
other than that there is not much help i can tell you anyone that moves overseas knows it is a decision they are stuck with you cant just bounce back and forth
if you go home youll be sutck there while you husband is still overseas do you really want to be separated for that long
my sugestion is wait it out be strong thats what being a military wife is about and be there for your wonderfull husband when he returns home its the least you can do for him you cant alwayse have it your way if you educated and all go on post or go to AAFES.com or Cpol they have many avaible great jobs you can work as a teachers assistant or a secretary theres more jobs than just the px
for once think about your husband and not just yourself

No one is just going to give you money to move. You could borrow money from your family or from a bank/credit union.
Also, jobs that pay relocation often only ask for a one year obligation.

Maybe you're setting your expectations and standards too high where you are now. Instead of bailing on your husband, go to the base civilian employment office and see what's cooking. As a military spouse, you get preference for civilian employment. Where there's a will, there's a way.

My husband is in the navy. I know that they have something called Navy relief. You have to pay it back but it is interest free. Good luck. I will pray for you and your hubby this must be a hard time.
