I can empathize. My husband and I were both ET1 when we married, and were not stationed together. We saw each other a grand total of 28 days the first two years we were married. Married 29 years now, so we made it, but it is darn difficult. He did his full 20 years, I did only 9 in order to stay near him. It is a hard life.
If they are just finishing school, they are not eligible for spouse co-location. They still should submit the form 1306, and after one year, one can request to be transferred near the other. Usually one is one shore duty, the other on sea duty, but that depends on their rating and what billets are open to them. This MIGHT get them near each other, but without the 1306, it will not happen at all.

I won't be staying in this group, but I accepted your friend request. I am also in the AECF group.

Thank you so much for your reply. I knew you would have an answer for me. They are both FC3s. They met while in school at Great Lakes. The ironic this is, she is in Virginia for her final school and he is in San Diego. When she finishes school she will be flown to her ship for deployment, then stationed in San Diego. He will be going to Virginia and be located on the USS George Washington. That was another disappointment for him. He wants to go to sea and was told the USS George Washington is being re-fueled and will be docked for four years. He's afraid he won't get any experience in his field. Thank you also for accepting my friend request. I believe I am also in the AECF group. Again, thank you so much!

Your are in the AECF group, I saw it on your page.
Let them know about the 1306, see if they got one each filled out. I have heard of one case where a couple got together after eight months. San Diego is big, so there should be billets for them both, but not on the same ship. It is not impossible, just a long process which requires patience. At least they are both in the US!
Hopefully they will have good chains of command, people who will be sympathetic to seeing them get stationed together. Not everyone looks approvingly on A school marriages, and part of it is they need to learn and excel at their jobs before all else. Like I said, it is hard at first.
