Answer 1

Try this:

dt1 = datetime([1982 01 01]);
dt2 = datetime([2015 12 31]);
dt_vec = dt1 : calmonths(1) : dt2;
FirstFive = dt_vec(1:5)                         % Display Results (Delete Later)

producing:

FirstFive = 
  1×5 datetime array
   01-Jan-1982   01-Feb-1982   01-Mar-1982   01-Apr-1982   01-May-1982
