Why would a recruiter have my wife write a statement that she understands joint domicile isn't guaranteed if she isn't joining the military?

I'm trying to get a family wavier approved. My recruiter asked me to have my wife write a statement saying blah, blag, blah. One of the blah's, was that she understands that joint domicile is not guaranteed. I'm the only one joining the military. I understand that if we were both in the military how it would work but I don't know why she has to say it now. Can anyone break this down for me please??

Family waiver? Joint domicile not guaranteed? WTF? If you are stationed CONUS, and you have all your paperwork (marriage cert, etc.) filed and your wife is in DEERS and has an ID card, then when you get to your duty assignment, you apply for on post housing. If no on post housing is available, then you will get a Statement of Non-Availability from housing and can then get housing off post. If you are going OCONUS, then it depends on where you go as some OCONUS assignments (like South Korea) are hardship tours and must request approval for your wife to accompany you. Then there are some OCONUS tours (like Honduras) where family is not permitted.

Don't understand, if it is an un-accompanied tour somewhere, then of course she can't go, but stationed CONUS you should be ok, might not be available base housing.
