Hello.
So I was thinking with this deployment that we just started...
Does anyone know how much CF effects deployments, staying at one station for an extended time, etc?
The reason I'm asking is this:
Say DH was deployed and I got really sick really fast, would the military allow him to come home and take care of me? (not that this is happening but I often wonder as his "dependent" if I needed him here would they bring him home to help take care of me??)
Also, I'm curious with regard to our constant moving every 2-4 years, does anyone know if having CF can keep us at a permanent duty station longer? For example, using the fact that it is difficult to find and get a rapport with a whole new team of docs?
OR, similarly, say I were to get pregnant or need a transplant and we were nearing our end at a station, would such things keep us there longer since it is detrimental to move with such high risk situations? Or, say we were to move but I suffered an exaccerbation and needed to be admitted, etc.... Would that keep us at our station longer? Or, would they have him move anyway and I'd follow once I got "well"? These are just things that have crossed my mind and I'm curious if you've heard anything?
I think its different for enlisted cause they can always put in for an extended stay (at least that's how it used to be... like up to 7 years at one place), but how about for officer spouses? Does anyone know? Or is it a case-by-case basis?
Thanks!
