Recruiter Does Not Want To Add My Wife As A Dependent
Throwaway account here because I dont really use Reddit. Background: I have already sworn into the DEP and have a ship date of August 18th. Long before I even talked to a recruiter I was engaged to my now wife and had a wedding date set. That was one of the first things I mentioned to him and he was perfectly fine with that and he said he would make sure to give me a ship date about a month after our wedding so we had time to spend together as newlyweds, he just told me to get our marriage certificate to him as soon as we got it, along with my wife's social security card, birth certificate, and ID so that she could get added as a dependent etc. as she has quite a few health problems, so that she could get on the insurance when I leave(and she has a habit of putting them on the backburner because she doesn't have the means to pay for the healthcare)
That was all fine until we got said marriage certificate. Now my recruiter (and the head recruiter at the RSS) are giving me pushback on adding her as a dependent because they said it'll be an additional waiver (I already had to have a few to swear in but all were approved with little to no issues) and it could push back my ship date. I tried to look it up and everywhere is saying this isn't a waiver, so why the hell are they giving me issues now? They're saying they can just add her as a dependent after boot camp, I personally dont want that due to her health conditions - I want to make sure she'll be okay while I'm gone. And while she is on workplace insurance now, its really crappy and covers almost nothing. Any advice?
