Currently stationed in Germany, Husband due to deploy in Feb 09' but school starts Dec in TN do I go?
I will have been in Germany for almost a year with my husband when my nursing school starts back in the states..Nursing is not a option here for me in Germany. Its a 13 month course. He will be deployed in Feb 09' for Iraq (as we know so far) I feel really bad for leaving my husband in Dec to go do school but if I wait Ill have to spend time away from him after his deployment but im soo scared something will happen to him and ill wish I would have stayed that extra month..But schooling is important b/c when we go back to the states from Germany I will be the only one working while he is school finishing his degree.. I don't know what to do..My husband is far more important than schooling but we will be in a bind if we go back to the states and me and him both in school..

Go back to TN for school. Good luck.

Discuss it with your husband and see how he feels about it. Maybe he will be able to take some leave before shipping out to Iraq. Also since you are military, you may be able to fly back and forth on military planes.

It sounds as if whether you go in Dec or after he comes back from his deployment that you are going to have to be away from each other. Ask your husband which he would prefer, since this both concerns you guys and go from there. You should definitely finish school though, especially since your husband want to finish school when you get back to the states.Is there any chance that your husband can take leave in Dec or Jan? If so, go ahead and start school and let him spend time with you down there. If not, maybe you shouldn't go but instead use your time in Germany to get a job at like the BX or Commissary and just save up a ton of money until he gets back, that way you are not in a financial bind when you go back to the States and you can both go to school at the same time.

I am also stationed in Germany and I am also deploying in January 09. I am in Finance and keep one thing in mind. If you go home for more then 30 days your husband will lose COLA. Now if you go home on ERD orders your trip home will be paid for and you will get BAH while your husband is deployed. You did not mention in your question what your husband thinks. I would like to know that before I can answer you. If your husband feels the same way you do then go. If not take his feelings into consideration and decide together, since whatever financial situation you find yourself in will be his also. Good luck and from one Soldier to another Soldier tell him I said God Bless.
