Even if you get married, the Navy doesn't have to nor will it put you to in the same location.  He could be stationed in VA and you could be in Japan.

Sorry ..I don't think you should go join the Navy ...if it isn't something you want and have wanted...it isn't a thing to go do, 'cause your boyfriend (who is in the Navy) broke up with you.

You moved in with his mom??  doesn't sound you like you are trying to hold on or anything.  Recommend you learn to spell NAVY if you are going to join it..or I should say try...

hey Angie - just wondering does the Navy work with you if both have been in the Navy the same amount of time and get married don't they normally try and keep them close together?  I know deployments come and go but just wondering.

Ha.  Hahaha.  It is called spouse co-location.  It is a request, it is never a guarantee.  It is why I only served nine years instead of going for the full twenty of a career, my husband and I could not get orders together for more than a year.  First term sailors don't have a good chance of this at all.  The first two years we were married, we saw each other for a grand total of 28 days... and we were both in Japan!  He got orders to where I was, but after one year, I was up for my second re-enlistment.  The best they would offer me was an six month extension, then orders to California.  He still had two years in Japan left on his "spousal" orders.  Yeah, right.  Some couples do make it work, but it is difficult and next to impossible if they are the same rating.

They try..as Anti M said it is a request, they have to have finished school and be at their first command for at least a year before they can request it.  but if the command says yes, than they will be with out a body for at least a year or two.  So most commands don't approve it until they put it in before they transfer..than if the detailer has  job near where the spouse is going to be stationed they could (but don't have to) give it to the Sailor.  

Hey, I make typos .... 

What I'm reading is she was ready for a life with the Navy as a dependent spouse, but that isn't happening soon or easily.  She was prepared for one life, and with that in doubt, she is making her own way as a sailor.  

But you're right Angie, getting married won't necessarily put them near each other.   I even doubt he can go to PIR, as A school students aren't allowed over on the RTC side. Used to be 100% off limits, can they do it with a special request chit now?

I don't think marriage should be on the table at all for now.  No way has he earned the right to be called a BF when he's clearly not into a relationship mindset.  Just move on, and if he catches up and proves himself, fine.  If not, no great loss from the sounds of it.

Everyone has to be on the PIR list now...so she would have to put him on the list, and than he would have to TRY to get the school to approve it.

Yea you read it the same way I did..

thank you in seeing what i meant and standing up for me :) you have been a great help since he graduated boot! thank you!

and honestly im just letting nature take its course on this relationship, if he comes back great, but if not i can handle that ive already got in my head he may not come back so marriage is definitely the last thing on my mind right now. but im not looking for anyone else yet either, im not over him and i just want to call him and beg for him back but i know that it will only make things worse, and it will hurt me even more as well so im waiting till i find someone else (after im well done with this emotional rollercoaster) or for him to come back when he is done with school if i even want him back at that time. but in the meantime im working on getting signed up for the Navy, losing more weight, getting physically ready, and studying the S.T.A.R.T guide, which is also keeping me busy :)

You need to worry about you and get away from him, if he comes back yea, if not screw him!

I am going to guess you are overweight as you talk about losing weight.  the Navy won't even work with you until you are with in standards, go talk to a doctor and learn to do it the healthy way.  It takes time to loose weight, it took time to gain it.  If you do those quick weight lose things, you will gain it back...I saw this happen many times with students in Great Lakes.  Work on your General orders (they need to be able to said in any order)

im just trying to get MY life together, i moved in with his mom because she is the ONLY support i have my fam doesnt give a rats ass, and i dont have friends and he just needs to focus on school and him i am trying to find myself and it seems like everyone thinks im chasing after him, IM NOT!!!! ive already accepted the fact that he may not come back if he is not going to be happy with me fine i dont want him back....and i do know how to spell navy i just had a typo just like everyone else does. im not stupid in fact im kinda proud of myself for taking this so well and trying to find wats best for ME not HIM!!!! ive always tried to do whats best for us but i now know that there may not always be a us whether it me and buddy or me and someone else!!!!! im trying the best i can to move on with my life and as soon as i get confident someone shoots me down!!

im doing this for me not him! im chasing MY dreams not him!!!!!!

From now on, the first thing you do when you get up is:

  1. Look in the mirror and say, "I am worthy of everything that I want in life."
  2. Continue looking in the mirror and say, "I am capable of doing it all alone."
  3. Next say, "I will become the person I envisioned."
  4. Next say, "I will get married when I find a person worthy of love I have to give."
  5. Next say, "I will not compromise myself to be with anyone."

Before you go to bed:

  1. Writ down what you are going to do the next day.
  2. Prioritize the items.
  3. Check off the items.
  4. Take a few minutes and evaluate what you were able to accomplish that day.
  5. Take a few minutes and make note of items you didn't do or if you did them poorly.
  6. Take a moment and give yourself a big pat on the back.
  7. Look at yourself in the mirror smile and say, "YES! YES!"

You are The Best!!!!

thank you i did this for 2 days and it helps with the emotions, mainly because i dont have time to sit and cry. but also relieves the stress and gives me an extra boost of confidence and will power in the morning!
