you can join the buddy system but there is no way for them to tell you if your duty station will be the same you go where they need you to go and that might not be the same place the best bet would be to get married only if you are serious about getting married though and join the married couples program that will help with getting stationed in the same place. you take the test before the paper work you should be able to take it locally and pick out a job before you do the paperwork. also picking the same job will help. it has been my experience that people in the same class in training get stationed in the same place often. if you get a different place than him you can trade someone sometimes. or one of you could go first get married after and before the other joins get in married couple program

k here's the deal; if you were two guys, you would prolly go to basic together.IF you were able to get the same situation, you might go to basic together. then he goes to maybe infantry training, but gurls don't. then you need to go to schools for your MOS. prolly not gonna get the same MOS, so it's over. there is some way off chance you could ge the same MOS (not likely). then you get assigned to a duty station. you a truck driver, he a grunt. maybe you see each other on leave after.
after that you lucky to see this guy for a year. but prolly not. two, three four years later you get out and start a life.
it's military. you go where you are needed. as does he. whether you buddies, or married, doesn't matter. military is not a couples type of situation. you will not have opportunity to follow this guy around. he goes where he goes, and so do you. you drive a truck in alska, he a grunt in afghanistan.

I went into the Army on the buddy system with my best friend. We went through basic training together but after that we went our separate ways with different MOS's. That was January of 1970 and back then the recruiter would say anything to get you to join. My MOS was guaranteed aircraft maintenance, what I got was infantry radio operator. So what ever you do get it in writing.

The only guarantee you will have as far as being stationed at the same base/boat, will be to be married together. The military has a program for married couples and will try their hardest to keep them together. But, it is the military and if they need you in different places, then they will separate you. It IS the military and it is to fight and serve for our country. Personal sacraficed will have to be made at one point or the other. So to re-*** on what I said earlier, there are no guarantees but your best shot is to get married.

Have you ever heard of the Sullivan brothers? They kind of screwed it up for relatives serving together. Also, do you think the military cares about your marriage? If they let every family with relatives serving decide what they do, the military wouldn't get anything done. You are an asset; you go where they need you. The same goes for your spouse.

I think the buddy system only applies if you're both males or both females. But if you're married they try as hard as possible to station you together. It is possible to have separate duty stations though, and of course one of you could always be deployed without the other, or you could both be deployed to separate places. You may be better off if you get married and only one of you joins, then you'll only be separated if you get deployed or stationed somewhere where dependants can't go.

no. spousal co location is never guaranteed . I know plenty of dual military couples who have been on opposite coasts for at least part of their careers.
theytry. they never promise.
Buddy system is just Boot camp and maybe A school if you get the same rating. nothing more.
