Married Couples
Have any of you heard of a married couple going through at the same time? I am just wondering how they will handle my son and his wife writing letters back and forth to each other while there. I got their addresses from the recruiter a little while ago and told them before they left I would send them to each other once I had them.

They are not supposed to write to each other in boot camp. Not because they are married to each other, but because they are both recruits and that is not allowed. Have each of them speak to their RDC to see what the current (ever-changing) policy is right now.

Their recruiter had no idea what they would expect from the two of them. I am praying they talk to the RDC and find out. I dont want the either of them to get into troble.

It is difficult to be a dual Navy couple. I bet they've been told about spouse co-location, but chances are they weren't told it doesn't take effect for the first command after A school. Are they going to be the same rate?
My husband and I were both ET1 when we met and married. It was tough. It is simpler when they are junior sailors, gets harder and harder as they advance if they're doing the same job. The Navy puts sailors where the jobs are, not where the spouse is. If two do the same job, they won't create a new billet to keep them together.
On the other hand, they will not both be on sea duty at the same time, and detailers do attempt to get them in the same geographic location. Just no guarantees. The money is outstanding, as both draw full BAH.

Their first duty stations will be where ever the Navy needs them, they are not entitled to spouse co-lo after schooling they have to wait one year to apply, and then the command one is at would have to let them leave early to move near the spouse...but commands do not have to let them leave, as if they do they will be short a body...so unless they are lucky with their frist duty stations, they will be apart for the first 3 years or so
