Question
Okay, my husband will be leaving for his MOS in 29 Palms the 25th of this month. The question is, is will he be able to live with me during his mos? What is he allowed to do?

Answer
Jamie:

  If you are asking if he will get liberty at night and on the weekend, the answer is 'yes'.  He'll be able to get off after his training.  He won't be authorized off post housing or dependants at the MOS school, however.  Which means if you want to be with him, you'll be on your own as far as getting there.  He won't get paid to move you there, either.   Nor will he be re-imbursed for any of your travel or moving expenses.  

  Once he reaches his permanant duty station, after school, then you will get all of that.

Expertise

Questions relating to US Marine Corps; rank, awards, uniforms, career choices. I can also help people spot and expose fakes (people pretending to be Marines or have awards they didn`t earn). Considering the Marines as a career? Or another branch, like the Air National Guard? Drop me a line. HOWever..know that I am NOT a recruiter. I can offer my expert opinion and advice, but can't (and won't) over rule what a recruiter says, they are the 'on duty' expert.
