Afternoon Marines,
I have a quick question that I have already asked my recruiter but wanted to double check here with the Marines that had my same situation.
My question is for those Marines that went to bootcamp already married, leaving your spouse behind with the bills to take care of herself. How difficult was it to set her up with the ability to withdraw the money every month? I've heard some Marines say to just plan on not being payed through boot camp until the end... Obviously, with a mortgage and two car payments and usual living expenses back home, that just isn't feasible for me.
So were you payed consistently through boot and was it easy for your spouse to draw the money every month? Also, how much should my wife leave in the account for the things that I need to buy in boot (uniforms, etc)?
Thank you for any and all info on this!
