My brother is in AIT, he has a intelligence mos. He married his high school sweetheart whom he has a child with during AIT. He informed me that his leadership told him his family would be unable to go with him. I have been to Korea and I remember soldiers having family with them. So is his leadership giving him wrong info and should I call someone?

Yes, they can. Needs of the Army superceed all other considerations. He needs to request command sponsorship as 1SG (Join to see) recommended. You should not become actively engaged. Help your brother figure out what is best.

Your brother will have to request command sponsorship. He can go online and get the requirements and get request submitted as soon as possible. If he doesn't get it done before he gets here he can do it after he gets to his unit. I can be found on the global if you would like some assistance. I am serving as the G1 SGM for 19th ESC in Area IV ROK.

Where's he going? I'm single and therefore don't pay much attention to the policies involved, but you need to apply for command sponsorship to bring family, and I think it's pretty hard to get that in Area 1.
