Is it true that married people are always stationed together if they join the army?

My boyfriend exercises every afternoon in the park. All the people around there know him and like him. A recruiter told him that a husband and wife can be in the same unit. I love him and I'm thinking if this is correct we could join at 18 after high school and be together. We would also have paid college tuition. My dad is a retired Marine and he always talks highly of his military experience. I think he would support me. My mom might not be so positive but Oh well.Is it true that married people are always stationed together if they join the army?
sassy is right about the word they will use to get you to join. unless you have it on paper. my husband went into the army and they told him things that they later backed out of. i have a cousin who is air force. her and her husband were both in the service, they were separated for only a year during a remote her husband had to take. you need to ask around if anyone knows a husband and wife that already live like that. the other issue you need to see if what fields you both want in. the field meaning specific career choice in the army can also make a different. my cousin is a military dentist, while her husband was a type of officer in a military law office. ( he has since retired.) if your boyfriend choose a combat type and you didn't that can change things too. I'm a 20 year military brat as well as a short term military wife(hubby got out from getting injured.) so think carefully, ask around to those who actually live it and think of what direction the 2 of you would even take when you join, take in mind also that certain fields may not have an opening. when you join and when you receive the base of location. good luck and study hard for graduation.





a note: ask your school ROTC captain . he or she may be able to tell you more. because many ROTC kids go into the military. ROTC also helps you rank and career wise when you join.Is it true that married people are always stationed together if they join the army?
Yes, you'll be together. I think the only time you might not be is if you're in different branches or if one of you is deployed. It's one of the reasons so many people in the millitary marry so young - you get extra income just for being married and your spouse gets to move with you. You wouldn't be able to live with him wherever he was stationed if you weren't married.





Also keep in mind that getting married at 18 might not be such a good idea. I'm not doubting that you love him, but getting married just so you can be with someone who would otherwise go away is not the best reason to take the plunge.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha





Don't believe everything you hear. They tell you whatever you need to hear to get you to sign. Yeah, you'll stay together....right through boot camp.
