I got a DD1172 form from my husband in basic training but they have both of our last names wrong. i know why his is wrong but mine shouldn't be, do i still book an appointment or wait to see if i get a Sunday call and have him fix it. is the 90 day thing on there like a time limit?
I feel like this hasssss to be illegal. Im so upset my husband quit his dominos job and Earn While you learn EMT training to go into the military because we were struggling financially. i got a call from him today and the both of us talked about about what he found out he was lied to on and what i found out he was lied to on. his recruiter lied about him going in a rank up, lied about doing paperwork to update my husband's last name from his old to new one after we got married back in february, said he would get paid on the 15th so we will be fine, i told my husband what i found out about deployments and how he lied about him being able to bring us, and etc.
it really screwed us over because i dont make enough to cover bills i can only work part time because i have school. we literally just got back on our feet from being homeless some of 2025 and beginning 2026, doing uber in vegas and sleeping in the car at the truck stop or hotels when we can afford it, and im so worried about being homeless again. we live in transitional housing and will face termination of the program if we dont pay the fees. like his recruiter knows we live in transitional housing as well.
I feel so bad for my husband because he regrets it, he has been working so hard to become an EMT firefighter but paused his career for a moment because he thought this was the better temporary path for 4 years.
everyone is saying im acting like he died. and not even that whats even more messed up is my family trying to convince me to take antidepressants or say my PPD is making it worse. I know its for a short time but its not actually and that makes me feel worse. and im bipolar so cant even take antidepressants.
we have literally never been separate from each other, all of summer break after high school we facetimed each other and would even sleep on the phone. we've spent everyday together since ive moved in with him when we were 18. literally when i started working he would sit in the parking lot and that became our thing when we don't share shifts we would sit in the parking lot while the other worked and when i had our baby it turned into phone calls all day until he got off. even tho there were times he couldn't talk i would just sit on mute in his back pocket.
and its also the feeling of knowing i wont hear from him for a few weeks not even by letter for a while. i look forward to seeing his letters soon, not reading them but looking at them even, would feel better since his handwriting is genuinely unreadable. i feel even worse after finding out today his first week doesn't even count and next week will.
