Rachel,

Definitely, I will tell you I am not a subject matter expert in this area, but hopefully can provide some helpful information.

Is your spouse Active Duty, Reserves, or NG? I ask because as When in Doubt mentioned, you both may want to consider a delay in the start date of his IET. However, arranging that for an Active Duty Soldier will be more complicated.

IET usually has an exodus (all students go on leave for the holiday period during the last two weeks in December) which may coincide with your delivery date.

Given the situation, become familiar with the Red Cross agency in your area. Provide your MD with the number should you be unable to call your spouse. If complications arise with the pregnancy, your MD can request your spouses presence, and definitely when you go into labor, but again, it has to go through Red Cross. The Red Cross will contact the Eustis Red Cross, who in turn notifies your spouses command and so begins the process to get him home. It sounds to be a convoluted process, but is effective and efficient.

Goodluck to you and your family. You all have many adventures and memories awaiting you as a military family!

While I understand that you may want him to wait for his class date so he can assist with the birth of your second child, do you want to move? Yes it will be a long AIT session, but moving household goods to another state, only to move again at the end of training to his first duty assignment will be a difficult task. I left my wife back in Florida when I went back into the military and through all the inprocessing, re-training, etc, it was over 9 months long. We received BAH, seperation pay, additional money and it would have been an extreme headache to sell the house, move, then settle in near the AIT post, then pack up and move again in less than a year. If you can hang in there and wait until he completes his AIT training then move.

In any case, good luck.

My wife and I were in a very similar situation when I attended AIT. We also had our second child due, and my school was over 27 weeks. My wife moved to be near me. You can move as soon as your husband receives orders that send him from basic to AIT. You should be able to ask for a copy when you visit him for his basic training graduation. Just make sure that his orders state that he is authorized to move household goods. If they do not state this, you will have to address it with his chain of command. You will not be able to move without the authorization on his orders.
Once you have the orders, all you need to do is contact the transportation department at his AIT post to arrange for transportation for you and your goods. The biggest problem we faced was getting our car transported, as she was too pregnant to drive. You will be responsible for moving your car at your own expense.
Bear in mind that during the first few months of your husbands AIT that he will probably not have many priviliges. He will have to live in the barracks, and you will not have much time to see him. This was very tough on my wife. However, once he reaches phase 5+ (usually about 10-12 weeks after he starts AIT), he should be able to move in with you. I can't say for sure because I am not familiar with 15 series AIT. They may have different rules when it comes to priviliges.
I hope this helps. If you have any further questions feel free to ask. Good luck.

thanx everyone its helping i just wish all this would start so it could be over...!! he's active duty in bct right now everythings such a blur when it comes to our future as for moving belongings we dont even have a car we have temp stuff because i moved in with my family while it was a time i couldnt move in with him or near him.... is it possible that we go with him after the new year? give me like 3-4 weeks to heal b4 a move? or do we have a certain time we have to go by? if anyone has anything to throw in that you think might be helpful please do!! thanx in advance!

i just reread ur original post to where u said ur husband is in bct. ur husband is in bct not wtc correct? he has no prior military service correct? if this is the case that he is in bct and no military service before now then he will pcs to ft. eustis and go to 222 avn reg where he will be assigned to one of four aviation initial entry training companies. but because he is an iet soldier, being married or not he will be required to live in the barracks and will not be authorized any on post housing and more than likely will not be able to move u to newport news, va so u can get an apartment. if he was a prior service or a soldier reclassing (as through my complacent reading skills i thought he was) he would pcs here because his school is more than 180 days duration and ft. eustis would more than likely authorize him on post housing because he is about to be a father of two and married. ur best bet is to do as combat medic skirt said and initiate a redcross message when u are about to go into labor.

also he may not start school as soon as he gets to ft eustis because ft eustis dosent give guaranteed class dates to soldiers so he may have to wait a couple of weeks to start school which would work in ur favor of getting him home for the birth of his child because he would have no class to miss.

im currently assigned to ft eustis goin to school reclassing my mos. i graduate in a couple of days. one of my soldiers in my class had a situation just like urs and ur husbands. he ended up not being able to go home for the actual birth because he would of missed to much class but he was granted a 3 day pass to fly home the weekend after the birth so he could be with his wife and newborn.

again im sorry i gave u the wrong info earlier through my misreading what ur posted.
