jumpwally 0 #1 October 23, 2009 My best friends daughter is getting married while still in college, the wedding has been moved up due to the fact that her husband to be is joining the Marines and they seem to think if he is married there will be less of a chance to get sent over to Irag or Afgan conflicts. I don't buy this, i don't think if you are married or not makes any difference. I thought i read somewhere that 65% of folks in the Military are married anyway. So anyway, opinions please and thanks in advance....smile, be nice, enjoy life FB # - 1083 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GLIDEANGLE 1 #3 October 23, 2009 Being married makes no difference in deployment tasking. However, being married can make a difference in pay & benefits issues while deployed. In any case they should to choose to marry for the right reasons, at a time that make sense in the develpment of their relationship... without regard to the military or deployment.

jimmytavino 16 #9 October 23, 2009 hmmmmmm i know nothing about the 'military' implications... but i wonder if maybe..... she is "with child", and that's why the wedding date has changed.... the other stuff is mostly a cover..... However,, I COULD be, completely WRONG....( wouldn't be the first time,,, won't be the last ) jt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xtravrtsoul 0 #17 October 23, 2009 I have married friend in the military and every one of those great men and women have been deployed. Just because one is married does not put them on the low part of the totem pole and if she is or gets pregnant that does not stop them from deploying either. So grandma or family has it completely wrong. The benefits they will receive are better if he does get deployed and is married.You create life, life does not create you.

LouDiamond 1 #19 October 23, 2009 There is more to this story I am sure. But what it sounds like to me is that they want to get married before he enlists so that in the VERY LIKELY event that he is deployed overseas, she will already be his wife and there fore become a dependent when he joins. Which can also mean that once he is assigned to a unit, the government will pay for him to move his family to that location. There are definitely more benefits for them being married before he joins than after. Just my educated guess. Being married will in no way reduce his chances of being deployed overseas."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumpwally 0 #21 October 23, 2009 Lou, i can assure you there is no more to the story,,all of your post is correct and true and i am still telling you they are convinced that by getting married he'll be somewhat protected, oh and "that uniform that he gets to wear for the wedding is awesome " some people just won't listen and i'm not about to stir the pot with my opinion, they are all adults.... smile, be nice, enjoy life FB # - 1083 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TrophyHusband 0 #23 October 23, 2009 i've seen a lot of marriages disolve because of a deployment. the best thing they can do wait until after his first deployment to plan a wedding just to make sure their relationship can handle it. for some reason i get the feeling they will probably do what they want reguardless of the advice they get.
