Family Co-location chit

Sep 30, 2014

My son is in A school and I have a son who has San Diego as his duty station. Does anyone know the process or where my son in A school would go about filling out the proper forms to be assigned to the same duty station as his brother.Thanks in advance.

No such thing. The Navy will send your sons to wherever the Navy needs them. If they are assigned to the same location, it would strictly be coincidence.

well from what I read they do have a program, but obviously the Navys needs come first.

Apparently I am wrong. I thought it was done away with after the Sullivan brothers were all killed. Good luck to you.

Bureau of Naval Personnel Manual: Chapter 5; Policy on assignment or reassignment of members of the same immediate family

C- 5207. Assignment or Reassignment of Members of the Same Immediate Family

........

(2) Conversely there are instances where two or more members of the same immediate family desire to serve together. The Chief of Naval Personnel is also desirous of favorable consideration by distribution commanders of official requests for transfer to serve with members of an immediate family where individuals requesting transfer are otherwise eligible for reassignment under current distribution directives and provided:
(a) Urgent service requirements do not preclude approval.
(b) The receiving activity has an authorized allowance for the rate/rating concerned.
(c) Where duty ashore is involved, both members are eligible for shore duty.

........

(4) In the event that members of an immediate family desire to serve together, commanding officers shall advise them of the provisions of this article and require each of them to execute a signed statement on page 13 of his enlisted service record to the following effect:
"I hereby certify that I fully understand the implications of serving on duty with my ........ but I have a profound desire to serve with him and do not anticipate submitting a request to be separated or transferred in the near future."

A copy of this page 13 shall be forwarded to the Chief of Naval Personnel for inclusion in the duplicate service record.

If there is an open billet (job slot he qualifies for), he may get the same area. They will not be at the same command. As with spousal co-location, there are no guarantees after A school. If he gets orders elsewhere, he can request to co-locate after one year.

San Diego should be fairly simple. Lots of bases and commands/ships there.
