I just want you to know that it's extremely refreshing to know that I'm not the only one going through a rough time with an Air Force boyfriend. He'd been talking about joining the military since last Christmas. He left for bootcamp on Sunday, and even though the whole experience is just starting for me, it's really hard. I have a military history in my family so at least I know how it all works for the most part. <br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving...Raychhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17640473769494510105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143253861841686606.post-43928325027235884272009-11-18T15:22:38.350-08:002009-11-18T15:22:38.350-08:00YAY!! that's AWESOME! we have 4 weeks 2 days l...YAY!! that's AWESOME! we have 4 weeks 2 days left. *sigh* it's closer than the 8 we started at! ;P sounds like all your planning is going well! keep it up girl! and YES it ALLLL comes rushing back! i PROMISE!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914962134235197186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143253861841686606.post-20666874400091529472009-11-08T16:10:56.857-08:002009-11-08T16:10:56.857-08:00And, yes, if you are married, the military will pa...And, yes, if you are married, the military will pay to move you there since he will be there for 6 months or more...Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11766064512381260499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143253861841686606.post-31262676626805478352009-11-08T16:09:56.272-08:002009-11-08T16:09:56.272-08:00My guess is that it's a 7 hour flight or so, b...My guess is that it's a 7 hour flight or so, but I'm sure you will have a layover somewhere, so it will seem longer.Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11766064512381260499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143253861841686606.post-16834858446959905932009-11-05T13:10:07.234-08:002009-11-05T13:10:07.234-08:00That's terrible!

There are offices on base that won't deal with you without it (even if you are married!). Finance office is one of them. Even credit companies now won't deal with you if you aren't the account holder... Yeah, things are getting harder and harder now. <br /><br />So, even after you are married, and he leaves for extended periods of time (deployments, extended TDY's/Trainings, etc) you will need POA's...<br /><br />Don't worry, though, things that are meant to be always have a way of working themselves out! :)Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11766064512381260499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143253861841686606.post-40225484142326533062009-11-05T00:30:57.790-08:002009-11-05T00:30:57.790-08:00busy girl!!! i can't WAIT to start this! hopef...busy girl!!! i can't WAIT to start this! hopefully not in as little time as you had! i commend you!! hehe! have you thought about making your invites?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914962134235197186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143253861841686606.post-16877513068325027772009-11-04T23:32:05.794-08:002009-11-04T23:32:05.794-08:00@Stefanie - I know its the 1st and 15th I just try...@Stefanie - I know its the 1st and 15th I just try to keep things vague hehe. <br /><br />Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! No I did not!!! We had asked the recruiter about this multiple times and she didnt mention the Power of Attorney... I dont really know who they are but from what I've gathered, they're pretty important lol. We do have a joined bank account that we've had together for years so we figured everything would be fine... *sigh*.

Everything will work out. When ...Don't worry. Everything will work out. When you fiance gets paid by the AF, it's after he's already "worked". And, he doesn't get paid every 2 weeks - it's the 1st and the 15th of every month. So, yes, in theory it's every 2 weeks, but in reality, it's twice a month. That first paycheck always takes a little longer to arrive than any of the others.<br /><br />Unfortunately, he's the one that will have to take care of any discrpancies in when or if he got paid. Sorry... Hopefully that will be different once you are married. Did you get Power of Attorney over his financials before he left for basic?Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11766064512381260499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143253861841686606.post-17168730662991615552009-10-30T18:09:56.826-07:002009-10-30T18:09:56.826-07:00One of the things that I regret about my college l...One of the things that I regret about my college life so far (its my 4th year :\) is that I took WAY too few pictures of my experiences.
