Is it possible for my husband to be deployed immediately after basic training?

He is going to be stationed at Ft. Wainwright, Alaska and I am almost positive he will have to go overseas but I want to know if we will have time to look for housing when we get there.Is it possible for my husband to be deployed immediately after basic training?
Yes, it's very possible he'll deploy right after he gets there. They might allow him to take leave to get you situated, but if the unit's already gone, he'll be gone not long after arriving. As soon as he arrives, he'll be able to put your name on the housing list and you should get info now about moving up there so you can be prepared. (There's a waiting list at most posts for post housing.) Be prepared to get your household goods and stuff with him already gone. The best thing for him to do would be to apply for leave in conjunction with the move (PCS leave). That way, he can take 30 days or however much he wants to move you up there and find a place to live before signing into the unit. That's what we've done on each of our moves. Then once he signs in to his unit, you'll be situated with a place to move and he can deploy without worries.





Good luck!!Is it possible for my husband to be deployed immediately after basic training?
Yes it's possible. If your main concern when you get there is housing, tell him to request some of his leave time before reporting to Wainwright. If he's approved you can then search for housing without worrying about him being deployed.
oh my goodness...this is the reason he signed on the dotted line, sweeite. Yes, yes...and oh...YES! I've known it to happen so many times. Always ALWAYS hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
my brother almost got deployed after basic training- its possible
Yes it is very possible. If his position in the military requires him to go then they will send him
of course you will. And if he's sent overseas, they might even jump up and help you even more, just because of his deployment. As for him being stationed as soon as he finishes Basic? I wouldn't think so, I would think they'd want him to finish his AIT, unless his MOS is one where he has One Station Unit Training, or OSUT. In that case, he might get deployed after basic.
yep, that's what he get's for voting for bush
yes it is, it happened to me, i'm sure it happened to many already
No, I think he'd have to go through the advanced training first. Most do.
It's always a possibility, you should be ready to take the rains and keep this in mind that you might have to look for housing yourself.You need to prepare yourself now, don't let it sneak up on you or you can end up completely lost. Good luck and I hope he is able to be around for a while, and if he happens to leave I wish you both all the luck in the world and may he be safe always:)
You said Fort Wainwright so I'm assuming Army. He has to complete AIT after basic. Depends on his specialty.
When you're a soldier, it's always possible. You might have to go on a list to get housing and live on the economy. To tell you the truth, I don't know how they do it in Alaska. Call them. I've been in for 24 years now. You'll be fine.
If I am correct , after A.I.T.,yes , it is possible that he may be deployed.


But NO.., because it really is not probable.
Its possible. A friend of mine was deployed to Iraq immediately after he finished basic training.
yes, it is possible. be prepared for the possibility that you will be looking for a place to live on your own. I actually prefer to unpack without mine around. he never puts things away properly....
if they are already deployed then most likely he will become part of the rear detachment, and stay with you
You did say form basic training? he has not learned a job to be deployed yet. Unless he's a grunt.(infantry)


you have time,but always plan for the unexpected.





An Army of one. hoooorahh
its possible they can send him as long as hes deployable. and you can do the housing thing if he gets a power of attorney a specific one. and when you get there try to find AER. they can help you out with money for a deposit. get in touch with frg they can help you with support and be your friends. dont completely rely on the army though. you should start looking now like on the internet or something.
Yes, it could happen. Honestly, there is no way for you to know for sure what that possibility is. With all that is going on overseas since 9-11, my hubby went from deploying for 3 months every 2 years to deploying 4 to 6 months at a time every year.





Please, give him your support, don't whine or complain, reassure him that you will miss him but also that you will be okay, because, really, you will be okay. :-)





Have him sign a power of attorney (be specific in it) so you can handle the housing issues if he does deploy.
It's very possible that he will be deployed as soon as basic training is over


God bless him
Yes, Your husband will be placed in Iraq or Afganistan. The military is short staffed and need all the fresh recruits it can get.
It depends on his job, and what unit he is assigned to after AIT. If he is part of a combat unit, and that unit is deploying (or already deployed) he will go with them.


Don't worry about housing. The Army really does provide for its own. You should receive family housing within a day or so of arriving at his duty station. It probably won't be a house you would normally choose to live in (and it definitely won't be like the ones they showed you at the recruiting office) but it will be a house.
YES
The Army takes care of their own. Be sure to find the food stamps office.
heh heh.. alaska is awesome (thats where i'm from)





but to answer your question.. anything is possible.. but don't soldiers have to go to tech school right after basic training?
