I am in Air Force ROTC right straight away as excellent as will be commissioning subsequent May. My partner (who really excellent could be my mother by then) will be looking her doctorate in earthy care after she graduates. you was wondering if it is unavoidable which you will be seperated whilst she is in propagandize even if we’re tied together or if there is a small kind of serve preparation she can do by a Air Force which will keep us together?

None….
She’ll be eligible for the exact same opportunities as the spouse of an Enlisted member. She can apply for scholarships that are available to spouses, she can fill out FAFSA paperwork for grants and loans, and when stationed overseas, she’ll be able to apply for Spouse Tuition Help, which helps with up to 50% of 2 classes each semester.
If she is pursuing her doctorate, she will be tied to the university and/or hospital she is working out of. The AF doesn’t really care. You’ll get assigned where you are needed, regardless of her schooling. She can choose to follow you or stay where she is. And that is something you’ll both have to discuss and agree on if and when the time comes.
There are plenty of us whose careers and advanced degrees have been place on indefinite hold during our spouses career.
she is entirely on her own.
