CDRINF 1 #26 October 24, 2009 As others have said, marital status has no bearing on deployment status. What is true, is that from an official standpoint in terms of pay, benefits, and information, fiance's and girlfriends have no legal standing. Wives, however, get ID cards and all of the benefits: PX, medical care, housing allowance, and the ability to be tied into the family support network. In blunt, unpleasent terms: if the worst happens, the girlfriend/fiance' won't get the flag, Mom and Dad will. CDR Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
