We've been married 4 years. He was in the Marines 8 years before going Army. We are both very familiar with military life, I just want to know what other have experienced.I am married to a sergeant in the Army %26amp; want to go Officer in the MC. Will we be separated on my Commission?
Hi,
As JAG NCO, I can tell you that you are good since you were married before your commission. As long as you are not ever going to be his direct supervisor, your golden. Now, yes, there will be some frowns in the officer world, but they'll get over it real quick.
The Army Command policy AR 600-20, chapter 4 has all the facts.

Good luck! Airborne!I am married to a sergeant in the Army %26amp; want to go Officer in the MC. Will we be separated on my Commission?
It's very likely that you would be stationed separately. You have to consider how many bases have both army and marine personnel, and that have positions for each of your specialties - not likely to be many. And assignments are based on the needs of the service - they take your preferences into account, but if it doesn't suit their needs to rearrange things to get you both on the same or nearby bases, they won't.
spousal colocation is never guaranteed, even less so when the branches are different.
More likely than not. Two different branches and the probability of you being stationed where he is will be slim.
You will be able to stay married however it will be difficult for them to station both of you in close proximity depending on your specialties. The Military usualy tries to keep married couples within 50 miles of each other but it can never be guaranteed.
You will not be forced to get divorced, but you will not be together.
There are very few places that Marines and Army are stationed together.
Even married couples within one service have a hard time staying together.
