Once the dependent turns 18 he or she can then join the service and earn the benefits on own.

They can still have benefits until the age of 23 if they are college students. Other than that I see no reason why they should.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! When they graduate college, are on their own or they get married then yes but until then you are hamstring a college student from the get go. Insurance is through the roof, groceries are outrageous and if they are put out on their own at 18 without some help from parents and the benefits then they are already behind the power curve. Not to mention, they served too to support the one in uniform. Moving every two to three years, putting up with being without Dad or Mom for extended periods of time...I thin they have at least earned that until they graduate college AND ARE ON THEIR OWN.

As long as the person is a legal dependent they should not lose the privilege of being a dependent.
