DNA Testing?HELP!!

Hi ladie.My husband is in the navy and he says that the navy is saying that we HAVE to have a DNA test done for the baby, is that true ? The baby is his and she is exactly like him and already love him. We've gotten into some arguments about this.. what do you think ladies?

He is completely wrong on this. I am active duty Navy for 12 yrs and work in the medical field.they donot ever require a DNA test. I had my first son before I got married and my bf at the time was active duty too we never had to do a test to prove anything to the navy. He is trying to pull a fast one on u. Keep us up to date how everything turns out for u best of luck and I hope u figure out what he is trying to pull.

My husband was in the military .So I asked him he said its not true .The Navy can't make you have a DNA test an wouldn't say you have to have one .It sound's like your husband wants one so he made an excuse to why you have to get one .

He may have just heard it from someone, I wouldn't assume he's doubting you. My hubby is in the National Guard and several of his buddies told him that to get Tricare we would need a DNA test. Not true.

the army doesn't do it. My dad is still currently in the army. And my dad has never had to have a DNA test With any of us  kids. But also my parents were married. My brother is also in the Army and him and his wife hasn't been told anything like that.

My hubby is ad navy and has been since 08 our son was born in 2011 and our daughter is due in sept and they've never said a word about DNA testing and we have tons of friends with kids who've never been told anything about testing. You need to have a serious talk with your husband about why he wants a DNA test since you know the Navy has nothing to do with it

It may be true if you aren't married. That's strange though.

Well we are married. And I go to an off base doctor. I didnt even think that they asked for DNA tests. He knows the baby is his because he was my first. Idk why he would doubt that she is his daughter.

The Air Force Doesn't Require That... I Would Say That Is Crap Or Something That He's Just Trying To Get You To Do. I Would Call Metlife And Ask!

I don't know about the navy but my husband is in the army and they haven't said anything about it. I'm still early in my pregnancy but we've been to some classes together and they haven't said anything about it. If it were required I think they would have told us already. Do you see a military doctor? Or have something like a welcome center (they have access to any info military families may need). Call either one and ask them about it.

Why would the navy ask for a dna test? ?
The only person I knew in the navy was my grandpa so that was years ago.
