Dual military relationship
Hi everyone. I'm seriously considering joining the Navy at this point, which would put me in a dual Military(both navy) relationship. I have some huge hesitations though; such as seeing each other. I don't want to have to be apart from a whole lot. We plan on getting married, if that changes anything.
Could anyone please give me any insight on what a dual military relationship is like??

There are several of us here who can. I met and married my sailor while I was active duty. I will not lie, it is hard. Very hard.
First, if you are not married, you can not expect to see each other, or be stationed near one another. It might happen, but it also might not. The Navy will not give a crap about helping two sailors who are dating, marriage is a must.
The Navy does have spouse co-location, in which they try to get you near each other, within 50 miles, but there is no guarantee. The first two years we were married we saw each other a total of 28 days. When we did finally get stationed together, I was up for orders in a year, and they were going to keep him in Japan and send me to California for two more years. Would not match my rotation date to his. Could not find a billet for me in the area. I was also up for re-enlistment, and chose not to do so. Nine years of service, I'd hoped for 20, but there was no way for us to make it work. I hear it is better now, but I also still hear horror stories.
Other couples do get orders near each other, get their rotation dates matched, and make it work. The trick is to not do the exact same job, nor choose ratings which are never near one another (subs and aviation for example). Also, right out of training/A school, there is no obligation to put you together. You both will have sea duty, one at a time. So you will still experience the long deployments. You two are not supposed to work together, and cannot be at the same command unless an exception is made for you.
Here is the regulation:
