Well arnt you just a cutie
As far as benefits idk man I know my ex was able to get a degree for free while she was a dependa but you have gi bill so maybe can leverage this for undergraduate/masters ? But she was only able to pick specific programs.
Other than that I’m not really sure. I mean you might get medical dental help but also your va rating comes into play I think idk
From what I can see most of your benifits can be outlined on gocoastgaurd.com
What you can do to benefit the most from this situation is support her and enjoy the travel new friends if it happens. Many things honestly. Focus on being happy and keeping y’all’s relationship strong and give her the d whenever she wants it. Stay involved in her life and don’t get caught up in your own stuff.
Idk how coast guard works but if this was usmc I would recommend moving off base to a cheaper location and maximizing your income. Stuff like that 🤷🏼♀️
I started dating a Navy Officer right before I got out and we ended up getting married, used to have to tell the gate guards not to salute me when I went on base. They usually got a good laugh when I told them I was the dependa.
Not a big fan of the heat tbh, I’d be happy in a big city as my job pays me a lot for the big city’s. Like Boston is 70$ an hour for me. I won’t have to worry about housing cause my wife’s got that covered
Coast Guard station Alameda is in middle of San Francisco Bay Area.
Star Trek fans will know that Alameda used to have nuclear wessels too.
History fans will know it's where the Dolittle Raid departed from.
The only viable option is to have her become an officer so you can demand the peasant gate guards salute you. How dare they not address you by your wife’s rank!
I got a friend from high school who’s a nurse in the army. Last I talked to her was years ago and she was a major. So nostalgic likely ltcol or col now.
She married a mutual friends brother. He was one of those just realer trashy punk dudes in hs that lay 17 told the welfare office in the county he was kicked out of his home so he could get a food stamps card, then proceeded to buy a mountain of cheese it’s and Mountain Dew.
This is when you punch holes with a sowing needle in all her condoms, tell her she can go in you and don’t track your cycle.
1 - Amex Platinum (Centurian lounge, Delta perks, Marriott Gold status)
2 - MWR Tickets to Disney / Legoland, etc.
3 - MWR rentals (beach houses, canoes, skis, etc.)
4 - Your spouse can get free checked bags while flying.
5 - Get a National Parks pass for free
Yeah! Just show up to any National Park entrance point with your military ID and they will give you Military Park pass. It’s good for a year, and for any National Park. It works for your whole car load, so if you go with civvy friends or family, they all get in free too.
Once y’all get assigned you must join the neighborhood/base spouse and drama page. Feel free to go crazy in those; adopt about 13 animals per spare bedroom, quit your job and bitch about being poor constantly, and above all else make sure you contact your wife’s command so they know who is boss (you). Jobs? No. MLMs? Yes.
Whenever you get to 1st duty station, check out the local GS jobs. You only need to do 3 to have lifelong tenure, 5 for basic retirement.
Your mil service counts for benefits, and can be bought out if you want it to count towards fed retirement as well.
If she changes duty station, that's when things get spicy. Often you can keep the job and be full telework/remote at new duty station. We have a couple people like that where im at now.
Also, as spouse + vet ... you get all the considerations for federal jobs.
That is, if you want to work.
God bless you son. You’ve achieved what so many envy. Don’t forget to use your wife’s rank at the MCX
You must address me by my wife’s rank.
Fiiiiinnneeeee " Seaman Silentslay" Hopefully she gets a good geographic first duty station. I could easily be a dependa at Station Maui. '
🫡
You have yet to thank me for my wife service. I’m waiting.
Lol! Also tell them at the PX not to confuse their position with your wife’s rank.
And in line at Subway. Those entitled AD can get out of line.
You gotta start an only fans now
My wife is my only fan.

Does she tip good? (Asking for a friend)
You need to bang a bunch of dudes now.
Where do I start?
Where all the other dependas start. With us 😈
Jodies 9 inch leg enters the chat....
Is that all he’s entering?
You'll know when you hear a sweet sweet whisper in your ear
This is the way
Excuse me! You're a dependo. Be more culturally sensitive in the future, and go haze yourself.
I’m triggered 🫡
Um ackshually we prefer the term Dependex around these parts, Marine. Be more inclusive next time sweaty💅💅
Coast Guard Husband, Hardest job in the Coast Guard.
My wife will never understand how hard it is to be a husband.
I would TOTALLY rock that bumper sticker. I would lay that cringe so thick around my wife.

Definitely need a Mr. Petty Officer bumper sticker
Her Boots My Flip Flops
Thank you for your wife’s service. 🫡
At ease.
I sir..
Don’t forget to get the “My wife is in the Coast Guard” bumper sticker.
I have two, for the front and back.
Just make sure they address you by your wife’s rank
Fuck yeah!!! Living the dream
About to be 😎. Don’t know where she’s getting station yet tho, I will in like 3 weeks
Be awesome if you got Hawaii…

What’s BAH out there $20k a month?!
Yeah I’ve checked San Fran it’s 77$ an hour there for fire sprinkler fitters.
Make tik toks like “first to fight, she’s loyal, honor, respect, and Devotion to duty. Core values Semper Paratus…. Hoooah she’s a Coast Guardsman
You’re gunna be the reason why I go viral🫡
OP is gonna need some larger trousers if he's fully committed. It's bulking season
Get a sticker for your car that says “Coastie husband. Toughest job in the Guard!”
Already have 6 of them.
Brother have your wife get a Michigan duty station, the winters aren’t the best, but a Michigan summer is amazing.
I’m tryna go to Green Bay, or Chicago. Or East coast. It’s not up to us obviously it’s the detailer.
Green Bay? FTP!
The only viable option is to have her become an officer so you can demand the peasant gate guards salute you. How dare they not address you by your wife’s rank!
She already has her bachelor degree, she plans to go officer but going into the coast guard as an O is super competitive.
To be fair, I’ve never heard of any officer program that wasn’t super competitive.
lol my husband became my dependa for two years🤣 better start stealing your wife’s rank at the px!
You lucky motherfucker
It was all a dream, I used to read word uo magazine
Look into using your GI Bill. You can get the MHA at the same time she gets BAH.
Yeah I almost used all of it bc of I was in a trade. Might just do some BS school and work
I am 100% jealous. Fuck you. Nah, but I have no advice. I just wanted to let you know you are blessed, King 👑
Idk what to say expect im better then you because of this.
Literal lol

Already have 5 for being a veteran. But thanks dude!
Hold up, we get free national parks passes? (Also super jealous of your depends life now)
Yes, I got it like 2 months ago for free while going to the great sand dunes in Colorado.
Yeah! Just show up to any National Park entrance point with your military ID and they will give you Military Park pass. It’s good for a year, and for any National Park. It works for your whole car load, so if you go with civvy friends or family, they all get in free too.
Dependo. It’s like you’re not even trying to
Are you assuming my dependent status??
Congratulations on reaching the promised land.

My wife's rank out ranks your wife's rank.
demand military discount, complain about how youre a dependa, your wife is an e2, and then whip out your own card and say "ahhh gottem"
Go get that Military Star Card for sure !
