All I can say is, she better GET IT IN WRITING.
Otherwise you really can't believe a damn thing they tell you, sorry to say. Although they do have you write down your preferences for a posting assignment, veterans refer to this as a
"dream sheet". I never knew anyone who was stationed at the post they requested.

On the other hand, if a permanent assignment is written into her contract as a condition for her enlistment, that IS a different matter. If she enters the military as an officer (E-6 is an enlisted rank, not an officer's rank) she will still have to go through officers training school.

And of course, you are right - you will never officially be recognized as a spouse and will recieve no benefits or recognition of any kind
reserved for traditional families - no housing,
rations, medical treatment, moving expenses, PX
access, nothing. You may be able to get a job on post as a civilian, however - the military often hires civilians.
