Hey everyone, junior here considering a military route after high school. If I'm deployed overseas, will the military cover my flight expenses? Please any insight, thanks a ton.
Absolutely! The military provides transportation for all service members assigned to deployments, training, or permanent duty stations. If you're deployed overseas, all your travel costs associated with that deployment - from the initial flight to any transfers you might make - should be covered by the military. You won't have to worry about out-of-pocket expenses for your flights.
In addition to flights, the military also typically handles other logistics like food, lodging, and healthcare while you're overseas. Keep in mind that while serving, your personal financial situation will focus more on your salary and any additional allowances you may receive, rather than expenditures related to duty assignments.
Just remember, every branch of the military may manage these resources slightly differently, so it's always good to confirm these details with a recruiter or other representative to ensure you have the most up-to-date and accurate information.
