Question
My husband is in th earmy he is a wo1 helicopter piolit. He is about to gaduate flight school. Question- Is there anyway he can be stationed close to in southern california. Reason- we have a one year old son we can not both live in alabama fort rucker for multiple reasons ( plus i have moved there 3x doent work) So now every three months my sons goes with him for three months and vise versa. I cant stand it and I know our son needs us both happy stable and in his arms reach. Any hope he can tranfer or be on a base soem where close to me so we can have us with no seperation. I appericate any info on this matter and I know that the military supports family is there any hope in this situation?
I know that there might be other places that he may be stationed, but he has to apply for those assignments internally. The Army will not make provisions for familymembers who choose not to reside where the Army has stationed the sponsor. You may want to reconcider not moving to Ft. Rucker... The initial assignment is going to be almost manditory and the deployment rates for the Army being what they are, you may want the support that you can get from the base during that time.

I have spent the past 20 years in the U.S. Air Force, 3 years was assigned as an Enlisted Accessions Recruiter. I have been deployed various times to several locations. If it is a career in the military you are looking for or thinking about I most likely have the answer. I still have contacts with in the recruiting field and if I don't know the answer then I have folks who do where I can find the answer. I am very blunt and straight forward and will make no attempts to BS you. I will give you the best information that I possible can can. If you think that you cant handle the answer that I give you, then don't ask the question...... If you are planning on joining the military, your number 1 decision factor in making this kind of move is that you need to be more concerned about serving your country than your country serving you!! All the benefits are the best that you can find. Education is at a premium right now and its the most rewarding thing that you can do. If I dont answer right away probably means that I am busy, but have patience, I will get to you.
