This is A Army Spouse Question, Please only answer if you know for sure or might have a idea.?
Okay so my husband and I are stationed in Germany and he will be deploying June 09' down range to Iraq. I got accepted into nursing school which starts in May 09' and is a year long so its awesome that it kinda ends when his deployment ends but we are having problems.We know there is a program for spouses who go stateside for school but our finance office ect wont tell us what it is and they told us the only way for me to go home and for me to get BAH is to ERROD me and I want to be able to come back after school and if I do that I cannot come back to Germany especially if he gets stop loss which they are expecting. Anyone who knows please help! It would truely be appreciated. Thanks!

hey, my husband is currently stationed in germany, his unit told him that if they wanted to have the spouse go back to the states they could ERD them back there... but then once he gets back he would have to re apply for command sponorship.... so its going to be a pain in the butt to do it. Your best bet would be to contact jag and ask them what your options are, or your husbands unit if they have any idea on what you can do... hope that help
2 :
If the two of you are in Germany, then you are likely on a three your tour. Sometimes (not always) when a married Soldier ERODs his spouse, his tour gets shortened to two years, like single Soldiers. If that is too big a risk for you to take, then you can also keep your government housing, forget the BAH and live stateside out of pocket.

thats bs my hubby is in sweinfurt germany in army and most wives go back home anyways threw deployment to be with family yes they would errod you but will be able to go back but doont take ppl advise here u need to get it straight with military and they need to tell u u will be able to come back the military is twisted its like each base makes there own rules up and gets by with it so i would have them tell me but typically you would b able to go back to germany
4 :
Once you ERD you can NOT return to Germany on the Army's dime. They will NOT pay for any of it should you decided to go back after the deployment is over. They can request it but the chanc eof it being approved is little to none and if they do approve it he has to stay there another 24 months after you return. If you ERD you give up OHA and it is switched back to BAH based on the location where they send you. Your husband would have to do the remainder of any tour he has there without you, he gets stop lossed then he has to still stay there even though you ERD'd. If you go back it will be on your own dime in both directions because when he goes to PCS his orders are NOT going to include you from Germany because you has already ERD'd to stateside. They will cover your HHG being moved from the location that you stated in the ERD to the new assignment and nothing more. Here is some offical info on ERD for Germany. http://www.imcom-europe.army.mil/sfac/admin/EROD%20memo%203rd%20version.pdf
5 :
cannot be done.. if you use Early Return of dependents to get the move paid for, you lose command sponsorship and SOFA status and cannot return to Germany. using ERD, you can get BAH based on your location. if you choose to go home on your own dime: You lose your Government quarters (or OHA) at 30 days, you lose COLA after 30 days and would be required to pay for the storage of your HHG. you also will NOT be granted priority access to Tricare facilities Stateside.
6 :
There is a program called Military Spouse Career Advancement but that was only offered in a few states at a few bases and is limited to $3000 for 2 years only in certain programs. Nursing is not one of them, nor is it offered at any overseas base. There is a program through Army Services & Navy Marine Relief Society in which you might qualify for a semester scholarship and they are only offered outside the 50 states. It is around $400 a semester and that is all, you must reapply for it each time. The only way that you will qualify for BAH if you do go back to the US is if you do an ERD - Early Return of Dependents. The military will pay for the move to the location you want and you will get BAH for that area. You will lose the place you have in Germany, you will lose Command Sponsorship so you will not be able to return and live in housing in Germany. he will lose COLA for you, have to live in barracks when he returns, etc...

To answer your initial question, because they've become such an integral part of our lives. We can no longer imagine how to live without cell-phones, and are getting to that same point with wi-fi. And while we might recognise a risk, it's such a long-term thing that it doesn't really bother most people. The immediate benefits seem to far outweigh the long-term risks.

A bit like asking why do people smoke when they know it can cause cancer.It is something people have been used to and are not willing to do without.Now go and practise your football you will need to be good to beat lavey next year.

Lets talk facts, not fear. There are NO clinical studies that shows any relationship between exposure to RF fields as a bio-hazard. There is alot of speculation, and bad press, but not one clinical study. Here are some facts: Amateur radio operators, folks who are routinely exposed to RF fields 1000 times stronger then a cell phone for periods as long as fifty years do not show any higher incidence of cancer or any other disease as a group compared to the general population. In fact it is lower. People who work in the broadcast industry at transmitter sites where the exposure amounts are on the order of 10,000 times have the same health histories as amateur radio operators. The same is true for people who work on cell towers as a group. The same cannot be said for x-ray technicians, people who work at nuke plants, and other high nuclear type radiation workers. Hysterical people and the media are confusing RF energy and nuclear radiation. The truth is RF energy is not the same as nuclear radiation. Gamma & X-rays break down molecules by stripping away electrons. RF energy only causes heating of tissue in the worst case situation. The amount of heating at its worst with any modern consumer electronics is about 1000 times less than the heating you experience standing in a sunny place. It about 500 times less then the what you get from standing next to a radiator. Tissue damage from direct contact with a radiator (antenna) will burn much in the same fashion as a soldering iron if the antenna has thousands of watts radiating from it. The average cell phone put out milliwatts - minuscule in comparison. Actually if you hold a piece of Granite in your hand it is most likely more hazardous than a cell phone, since most Granites emit gamma radiation. Do you have granite in your home, maybe your kitchen counter-top? If you do then you have a radioactive counter-top! Is it enough to hurt you ... hmmm The ARRL comment above is taken out of context and in the complete text talks about the exaggerated risk of exposure to RF. Same for the quote from NIOSH. The EPA quote is a complete reversal, since the EPA reports actually says that the hysteria and "media coverage is seriously flawed in its basis", not the FCC standards. The FCC understands the lack of risks, the media hype and subsequent public hysteria about an issue that in reality has not been shown to exist in any study conducted. And there have been many studies conducted, all inconclusive. I see no studies in the above text, just hysterical responses by certain groups, and government reports taken out of context.

What scares you so much about Socialism
What scares you so much about Socialism?
The second largest exporter in the world, Germany manages to give it's worker a minimum wage of $14.00 an hour, 6 weeks of paid vacation and free health care. And they are beating us at selling things to the Chinese. European social democracies -- particularly Germany -- have some lessons and models that might make life a lot more livable. Germans have six weeks of federally mandated vacation, free university tuition, and nursing care. But you've heard the arguments for years about how those wussy Europeans can't compete in a global economy. You've heard that so many times, you might believe it. But like so many things, the media repeats endlessly, it's just not true. According to Geoghegan, "Since 2003, it's not China but Germany, that colossus of European socialism, that has either led the world in export sales or at least been tied for first. Even as we in the United States fall more deeply into the clutches of our foreign creditors -- China foremost among them -- Germany has somehow managed to create a high-wage, unionized economy without shipping all its jobs abroad or creating a massive trade deficit, or any trade deficit at all. And even as the Germans outsell the United States, they manage to take six weeks of vacation every year. They're beating us with one hand tied behind their back." Whatever it's called, some people have it a lot better than we do http://www.alternet.org/world/148501/why_germany_has_it_so_good_--_and_why_america_is_going_down_the_drain/ Obaama:SOCIALIST COUNTRIES ARE BEATING THE US ON THE ECONOMY!!!!

So I'm curious: Is Europe socialist or not? If it is, then why do liberals attack us for smearing Democrats as socialist when they want to implement economic policies common to Europe. "If you were educated, you would know America has plenty of socialism." Yep... Sure does. That's the problem. http://mises.org/daily/336 Of course...if YOU were educated, you would know that the only reason Germany thrived the way it did was from economic deregulation. Are you familiar with the term "Wirtschaftswunder?" Didn't think so.

And they have a high unemployment rate. A group in their country who they don't believe in. Who they don't care to educate or get them to become self-sufficient. I have higher expectations for my fellow Americans in the land of the free. But that's just me. ------------------------------- Their unemployment is not any higher than ours....now. Because we are becoming content with allowing people to live off the government. Liberals think compassion = voting for Democrats so they don't have to donate their own time and money. They can claim to be righteous without lifting a finger. Don't worry, we're on our way. You'll get your wish. -------------------------------- "From 1991 until 2010, Germany's Unemployment Rate averaged 9.73 percent reaching an historical high of 12.10 percent in March of 2005 and a record low of 7.30 percent in December of 1991" AVERAGED 9.73. If you're content with people living off unemployment for their life, that's fine. Not me. I have higher hopes for those people.

In most of the socialist European nations I've visited, I've notice the standard of living is not what I am comfortable with. The economies are mostly as vital as a dead mackeral. I get seven weeks of vacation a year, and I have more money than most middle class Europeans. I prefer America over Europe. America is a more interesting, and there is more opportunity.

What will Germans do when the US spends less of its GDP defending Germany than the Germans do? It's easy to spend tax money on that sort of thing when you aren't even sovereign; when you continue existing ONLY because some OTHER country wills it.

To the third comment: Europe blends Free Market fundamentals with socialist regulations. Socialism prevents corruption and stabilizes the economy. It also protects consumers and workers. America also blends Free Market fundamentals with Socialist regulations. Yet in recent years, the socialist stabilizers on our economy were deregulated which allowed our economy to nearly collapse. If you were educated, you would know America has plenty of socialism. And only when we were deregulated did our economy go to the sh*tter.

Nothing socialism is just an idea and the reason for the fears over socialism goes back to post ww1 and pre cold war.

If you love it go there. Socialism is the intermediate step to communism. It may look good but sooner or later the money runs out. and then you have riots in the street like in Greece and France. We have a recession because millions of people bought a house that they just could not afford betting that the price would go up and they could make a quick dollar. Why the greed of the people that believe that they are entitled to what ever they want just because they want it. They don't want it enough to actually EARN it they just want it NOW. The nature of the socialism beast is that the elite rule and have the money the workers ,....... they get what the elite say they can have. But sooner or later the money runs out, just like in the USSR and that doesn't exists any more. I lived in Germany and i much prefer it here in the US.

What country was the greatest producer in world history? America. Why? Capitalism. Obama is taking us down the road to Marxism which is a form of socialism only more so. We are losing our greatness as we speak. Socialism in all its names does not share the wealth, it shares the misery. I gather from your comments you prefer a nanny State where you can go on many, many holidays and paid for by the government. This would indicate a lack of a work ethic. I don't suppose you are in any way spiritual, but even the scripture says in Psalms 128:2, "for thou shalt eat the labor of thine hands"...i.e., no 'workey', no eat.

Nothing in particular. Two things make me cautious about it. First, I do not believe it maximizes the total amount of freedom in the world. Second, I don't trust any large group of people, as I have never seen any large group that I could not turn into a lynch mob with very little effort. Unfortunately, the one most likely to get lynched is me.

In fact you are wrong:our pay bills and bosses are so charged especially for health insurance for a long time ;we have had to face the" décentralisation "first China hired some foremen from France and copy our stuff but at end all the factory move to China and now they understand it's not so easy to work with this poeple. Our machines and tools are quite all news in factories and small companies Germany especially produce good machines and Ipso facto the production per hour is better than in the States where I have seen old tools lol the pumps to drain oil in the South lool like during 1900's. Sometimes you are so money hungry especially the ones who belong shares that the manager worry and if he try to give 10% profit per share he has to neglect the tools and investements. This ammount 10% was one of the cause for crisis. I would merit a good job as consultant in the States.I shall not fight for the paybill but want to preserve my health insurance...... I never voted socialist for the simple reason the veritable socialism is the death of humans.
21 :
Socialism requires a HARD court. Our courts easily order without the slightest complaint from our populations, millions to their deaths. THAT is the definition of a soft court. WE HAVE PUNKY WOOD, not IRON or even IRONWOOD, but ROTTEN CORK COURTS. Yes, that best describes legal traditions in the USA. It collapses almost in each and every case to the wills of ANY influence. And our police cannot generally be thought of as reliable in protecting their OWN, much less the boss when he gets in "over his head". Before WE DARE give that measure of power to our courts consider my life a cautionary tale: I was a game warden's deputy. I got shot. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DID IT. The local courts declared me insane. No compensation was offered. No records were kept THAT I CAN ACCESS. THEY can sell my ID at will, and COMPENSATE whomever THEY sell that ID too. There is evidence they have. Scars I had from those "good old days" were surgically removed in a PARK, without proper medical personnel or equipment. THE US ARMY KNOWS THIS. When I got back from Iraq, and had a pension set up, THERE WAS "an arranged accident", I lost an arm "due to infection". THE ARMY KNOWS THIS. THEN there was another "arranged accident", after this I had memory loss, and a left arm. Does the US Army know this? I doubt it. I met a guy recently on the same type of vehicle I used to drive (all very very rare for a guy with one arm to be driving a scooter, but I used to do this ~ it was the same type and model and color with even the same kind of tape on it, holding the broken plastic together). HE LOOKED JUST LIKE ME, including the missing arm. I'd be willing to bet allot of real money (if I had it), that the US ARMY is paying that fellow my pension and granting him my rights otherwise. Junkies don't care if they are missing an arm. Many drug dealers are junkies. We are currently in a war on drugs. I was in drug interdiction. It kinda looks like my missing pension was "put to good use" from the point of view of a junky punky wooden head judge. Furthermore, I'd be willing to bet allot of good money, if I still had it, that the original infection did not result in the loss of my arm, but rather "politics" did. I'd say given the evidence it's more than likely the arm was "saved" for other, more organized criminally politically correct, from Al Qa`ida's limited point of view, "propaganda" uses. There was a guy I shot in the hand when a police officer in New York. He had been shooting cops as a "LARK". I was either he and his partner's 8th or tenth policeman / policewoman / victim. BUT I shot back, even with five bullet wounds I shot back. I met this guy in the park. He had a missing arm. It was his left arm. He commented about it, as if I should know him, and as if I should well know what happened to his arm. THIS junkie said he didn't miss it much, as it always hurt. He had a curly red headed bombshell with him, his reward wasn't just in dope, evidently. Much later I recalled where I'd seen him. People look so much different with their war face on while shooting you with a 9 mm Beretta... The point is: we don't control who is who in the USA, a weak, punk cork wood court does. The basic difference between you and a crazy guy in a lock up is that court's opinion of who you are. But other countries have far greater influence on said court than YOU DO, or I DO, or THE TOYS FOR TOTS MARINES DO. They are more fearful of real threats from Communist China's 1 trillion in US than your petty concerns over which communist block factory you will support when you buy that towel set at the big box store... which pays for Communist China's dominance of OUR court room. Ultimately these people likely took my arm, radiated it, replaced it's bone marrow with marrow from a drug dealer who lost his arm, let it sit in a "pietry dish" (sic) as his blood was pumped through it until genetic testing confirmed that his genes were fully dominant in that arm and were not being rejected, and then that arm was likely gifted the enemy. But they took HIS arm and grafted it onto MY BODY without radiating it, but rather ME. Hoping to cause cancer. Why? Cause they can use the video as a recruitment tool for their spy ring. And our courts are punky wood corkers. But they rule. And I'm thus nuts to have worked for "them".

So I'm curious: Is Europe socialist or not? If it is, then why do liberals attack us for smearing Democrats as socialist when they want to implement economic policies common to Europe. "If you were educated, you would know America has plenty of socialism." Yep... Sure does. That's the problem. http://mises.org/daily/336 Of course...if YOU were educated, you would know that the only reason Germany thrived the way it did was from economic deregulation. Are you familiar with the term "Wirtschaftswunder?" Didn't think so.

And they have a high unemployment rate. A group in their country who they don't believe in. Who they don't care to educate or get them to become self-sufficient. I have higher expectations for my fellow Americans in the land of the free. But that's just me. ------------------------------- Their unemployment is not any higher than ours....now. Because we are becoming content with allowing people to live off the government. Liberals think compassion = voting for Democrats so they don't have to donate their own time and money. They can claim to be righteous without lifting a finger. Don't worry, we're on our way. You'll get your wish. -------------------------------- "From 1991 until 2010, Germany's Unemployment Rate averaged 9.73 percent reaching an historical high of 12.10 percent in March of 2005 and a record low of 7.30 percent in December of 1991" AVERAGED 9.73. If you're content with people living off unemployment for their life, that's fine. Not me. I have higher hopes for those people.

This is what scares me. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Antiausterity-protests-sweep-apf-3698373468.html?x=0 America was not meant to have Socialism - if you like the so-called Socialists Utopia so much then why don't you move there and enjoy?

Nothing. Lack of Socialism scares me.

In most of the socialist European nations I've visited, I've notice the standard of living is not what I am comfortable with. The economies are mostly as vital as a dead mackeral. I get seven weeks of vacation a year, and I have more money than most middle class Europeans. I prefer America over Europe. America is a more interesting, and there is more opportunity.

What will Germans do when the US spends less of its GDP defending Germany than the Germans do? It's easy to spend tax money on that sort of thing when you aren't even sovereign; when you continue existing ONLY because some OTHER country wills it.

To the third comment: Europe blends Free Market fundamentals with socialist regulations. Socialism prevents corruption and stabilizes the economy. It also protects consumers and workers. America also blends Free Market fundamentals with Socialist regulations. Yet in recent years, the socialist stabilizers on our economy were deregulated which allowed our economy to nearly collapse. If you were educated, you would know America has plenty of socialism. And only when we were deregulated did our economy go to the sh*tter.

It's a common myth that European countries such as Denmark and Germany are socialist. Germany is the 23rd most capitalist nation in the world. A good example of a European social democracy would be Greece.

Nothing socialism is just an idea and the reason for the fears over socialism goes back to post ww1 and pre cold war. People made up libel and slander about socialism because businesses thought it was a bad idea. Also, the government adds for ww2 portrayed socialism as bad and most of that fear of nothing still resides in people because they do not know alot about it.

If you love it go there. Socialism is the intermediate step to communism. It may look good but sooner or later the money runs out. and then you have riots in the street like in Greece and France. We have a recession because millions of people bought a house that they just could not afford betting that the price would go up and they could make a quick dollar. Why the greed of the people that believe that they are entitled to what ever they want just because they want it. They don't want it enough to actually EARN it they just want it NOW. The nature of the socialism beast is that the elite rule and have the money the workers ,....... they get what the elite say they can have. But sooner or later the money runs out, just like in the USSR and that doesn't exists any more. I lived in Germany and i much prefer it here in the US.

What country was the greatest producer in world history? America. Why? Capitalism. Obama is taking us down the road to Marxism which is a form of socialism only more so. We are losing our greatness as we speak. Socialism in all its names does not share the wealth, it shares the misery. I gather from your comments you prefer a nanny State where you can go on many, many holidays and paid for by the government. This would indicate a lack of a work ethic. I don't suppose you are in any way spiritual, but even the scripture says in Psalms 128:2, "for thou shalt eat the labor of thine hands"...i.e., no 'workey', no eat.

Nothing in particular. Two things make me cautious about it. First, I do not believe it maximizes the total amount of freedom in the world. Second, I don't trust any large group of people, as I have never seen any large group that I could not turn into a lynch mob with very little effort. Unfortunately, the one most likely to get lynched is me.

In fact you are wrong:our pay bills and bosses are so charged especially for health insurance for a long time ;we have had to face the" décentralisation "first China hired some foremen from France and copy our stuff but at end all the factory move to China and now they understand it's not so easy to work with this poeple. Our machines and tools are quite all news in factories and small companies Germany especially produce good machines and Ipso facto the production per hour is better than in the States where I have seen old tools lol the pumps to drain oil in the South lool like during 1900's. Sometimes you are so money hungry especially the ones who belong shares that the manager worry and if he try to give 10% profit per share he has to neglect the tools and investements. This ammount 10% was one of the cause for crisis. I would merit a good job as consultant in the States.I shall not fight for the paybill but want to preserve my health insurance...... I never voted socialist for the simple reason the veritable socialism is the death of humans.

Socialism requires a HARD court. Our courts easily order without the slightest complaint from our populations, millions to their deaths. THAT is the definition of a soft court. WE HAVE PUNKY WOOD, not IRON or even IRONWOOD, but ROTTEN CORK COURTS. Yes, that best describes legal traditions in the USA. It collapses almost in each and every case to the wills of ANY influence. And our police cannot generally be thought of as reliable in protecting their OWN, much less the boss when he gets in "over his head". Before WE DARE give that measure of power to our courts consider my life a cautionary tale: I was a game warden's deputy. I got shot. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DID IT. The local courts declared me insane. No compensation was offered. No records were kept THAT I CAN ACCESS. THEY can sell my ID at will, and COMPENSATE whomever THEY sell that ID too. There is evidence they have. Scars I had from those "good old days" were surgically removed in a PARK, without proper medical personnel or equipment. THE US ARMY KNOWS THIS. When I got back from Iraq, and had a pension set up, THERE WAS "an arranged accident", I lost an arm "due to infection". THE ARMY KNOWS THIS. THEN there was another "arranged accident", after this I had memory loss, and a left arm. Does the US Army know this? I doubt it. I met a guy recently on the same type of vehicle I used to drive (all very very rare for a guy with one arm to be driving a scooter, but I used to do this ~ it was the same type and model and color with even the same kind of tape on it, holding the broken plastic together). HE LOOKED JUST LIKE ME, including the missing arm. I'd be willing to bet allot of real money (if I had it), that the US ARMY is paying that fellow my pension and granting him my rights otherwise. Junkies don't care if they are missing an arm. Many drug dealers are junkies. We are currently in a war on drugs. I was in drug interdiction. It kinda looks like my missing pension was "put to good use" from the point of view of a junky punky wooden head judge. Furthermore, I'd be willing to bet allot of good money, if I still had it, that the original infection did not result in the loss of my arm, but rather "politics" did. I'd say given the evidence it's more than likely the arm was "saved" for other, more organized criminally politically correct, from Al Qa`ida's limited point of view, "propaganda" uses. There was a guy I shot in the hand when a police officer in New York. He had been shooting cops as a "LARK". I was either he and his partner's 8th or tenth policeman / policewoman / victim. BUT I shot back, even with five bullet wounds I shot back. I met this guy in the park. He had a missing arm. It was his left arm. He commented about it, as if I should know him, and as if I should well know what happened to his arm. THIS junkie said he didn't miss it much, as it always hurt. He had a curly red headed bombshell with him, his reward wasn't just in dope, evidently. Much later I recalled where I'd seen him. People look so much different with their war face on while shooting you with a 9 mm Beretta... The point is: we don't control who is who in the USA, a weak, punk cork wood court does. The basic difference between you and a crazy guy in a lock up is that court's opinion of who you are. But other countries have far greater influence on said court than YOU DO, or I DO, or THE TOYS FOR TOTS MARINES DO. They are more fearful of real threats from Communist China's 1 trillion in US than your petty concerns over which communist block factory you will support when you buy that towel set at the big box store... which pays for Communist China's dominance of OUR court room. Ultimately these people likely took my arm, radiated it, replaced it's bone marrow with marrow from a drug dealer who lost his arm, let it sit in a "pietry dish" (sic) as his blood was pumped through it until genetic testing confirmed that his genes were fully dominant in that arm and were not being rejected, and then that arm was likely gifted the enemy. But they took HIS arm and grafted it onto MY BODY without radiating it, but rather ME. Hoping to cause cancer. Why? Cause they can use the video as a recruitment tool for their spy ring. And our courts are punky wood corkers. But they rule. And I'm thus nuts to have worked for "them".
