Question
Is it a legal or ethical violation for me to have my wife stay in my government funded hotel room while on Annual Training?
I have a shot at going to a nice place and would love to let her come along.
It is fine as long as the room is not subject to you having a roommate, then it would be unethical. Wives stay with husbands all the time when it gov't paid hotel rooms. Just make sure you will be the only person in the room the entire time. Your command can order that no one else but you stay in the room since it is provided to you by them. But if you pay for it and claim it on travel expenses, they cannot order that legally.

Expertise
I am a National Guard recruiter , been doing it for seven years and am a subject matter expert on qualifications for National Guard and I keep up to date on Regular Army regs and programs. I was in the Navy for 4 years and have 13 years in the Guard. I will not sugar coat my answers to you. They are usually short and to the point. If you need more in depth, ask me. Because each situation is different, alot of times you need to actually talk to a recruiter and let them evaluate your situation in person, by looking at your documents, issues etc. If I suggest this, it would be in your best interest to do so. Finally...thank you for your interest in serving this great nation of ours. Very few people can actually make the cut to serve let alone choose to do so. So thank you for wanting to and hopefully you will get a chance. Whatever branch you choose, thank you and good luck.
