USAF Officer marrying another USAF Officer?

How about Federal Employee who works for the AF marrying USAF Officer?

What happens if one officer gets reassigned? Do they both get reassigned to the new base? Or does the Air Force not even try to make accommodations, and force them to live at separate bases? How about the Federal Employee, would the Air Force try to reassign the civilian to the new base, or would the civilian have to quit to follow their spouse?

Any personal experiences/examples would be appreciated.

    AFPC tries to work mil-mil couple assignments through the Join Spouse program. It usually works, but the higher ranking you get as an officer, the harder it is. They don't normally make up jobs so that the couple can be together. For example, if both are lt colonels. One is a personnelist and the other a comm officer. The personnelist gets picked up to command the FSS at some small base. The only lt col comm position on that base is the comm squadron commander and that either isn't available or the person isn't picked up for that job. They have to go somewhere else. But, if say one gets an assignment at a MAJCOM HQ, where there are mulitple jobs in both AFSCs, then they probably can go together.

    There are programs for DoD civilians to get some spousal preferences, but that doesn't always work either, especially if the civilian is in one of the higher GS grades where there are fewer jobs. I'd say that the odds of that working are much lower than the Join Spouse program, since all civilian jobs are hired by the supervisor and, except for overseas jobs, there is no established rotation.

    You higher put your foot down now. In the event you are not announcing anything and if you are now not defending yourself, you might be indirectly encouraging your husband to continue this habits. Despite the fact that you're married, you are still an person. You have got the correct to devour what you need when you need. Which you could prefer your possess garments, and plenty of different matters in life. Nip it in the bud earlier than this will get utterly out of manipulate. Every man who has been married a at the same time is aware of better than to do what your husband is doing. We learned due to the fact our wives made us pay a rate for stepping on their toes. I would not dream of telling my wife what she must and should not eat, let alone snatch meals from her hand. I know what would occur. She could be angry, and then she wouldn't talk to me. And every time I was once in her presence i'd consider the wall she had put up since of my moves, and the final thing she would wish to do is have sex with me. She would not even need to try to do these matters ~ they arrive naturally when I've damage her. It must work the same approach with you.

    Both of my parents were USAF officers-

    the military tries to keep married couples together.

    However that does not always happen my mother left the USAF after 12 years of service

    due to some assignment issues after my oldest sister was born.

    If you both enrolled into the married couple program

    they will try and keep you together

    Notice , i said try

    its easier to keep 2nd Lt together than it is Capt's

    2. they will NOT transfer a federal employee, just because active duty spouse got orders

    although the federal employee can try and transfer to where their active duty spouse is located

    but its up to the federal employee to transfer, if possible

    You go where the military sends you. They will try to accommodate married couples but there are no guarantees.
