Question
Hi. I'm getting married next week and I was wondering, if my wife would be able to live with me, or have housing? And I also wanted to know if she would be able to finish school? It's been her dream to finish school and get her license as a registered nurse. she's 19, but will be 20 in 2 months. Is there a way for her to finish school, and possibly get a job?

Answer
Alfred,

You didn't give quite enough info.  I'm assuming you're in the military.  Is she?  What Service are you in?  What's your rank?  Where are you stationed?  Are you currently living in a dorm?What kind of school is she in now?  College or a trade school?

Please send me a follow-up marked "Private" and not "Public" like this question and answer these questions for me and I can better answer you.  Each of my questions has a LOT to do with my answer.

Thanks,
Colonel H
