I know that with the situation in Iraq right now the chances are high that you will be activated and deployed. I've known couples who were both active duty Army who he was deployed a year, then she was gone a year, then he was up for it again. I know a couple right now that are both deployed and their kids are having to live with an aunt for a whole year. Thats really tough on a marriage and on a family. My husband is active duty Army and I considered doing ROTC while I've been working on my degree so I could come into the Army as an officer when I graduate but I decided against it because its hard enough having one military member in the family. I personally wouldn't do it because we're apart enough as it is, I wouldn't want to add to that stress.
I will admit though that I am jealous of my husband's career. He's almost home from his second Iraq tour and he sees some cool stuff and always has cool stories about what he's seen and done. I sometimes want to go to the recruiter's office because I want to go somewhere and I get tired of sitting here but I know that it would mean even more time away from him and it's not worth it to me. Good luck making your decision.

Retired First Sergeant excellent the following. I perpetually counseled my troops to carry the great image in focal aspect. Set out quick, mid, and lengthy time period objectives and from that record you ought to ascertain the time-honored route of action for YOU. what's extra significant to you - The Corps or an total military occupation? the very shown truth that you're even because the military ought to talk about that The Corps isn't an absolute. (IMHO, that is mind-blowing, as flexibility in replacing activities is a necessary trait of leaders and robust officership.)

It's better than you both being on active duty. Just, if you have kids or plan to, make sure you have a plan in case you both get deployed at once or if you each deploy back to back. Other than that, go for it. It'll be a great connection both of you.

like every one said it also depends on if u have kids in this factor, also having two active duty members your not entitled to a lot of benefits. they will go with your husbands time in service over yours....so think about this really hard or you also ask about this kind of info from other dual married active duty personal

It wont' really matter what your husband is or does. You will enter on your own merits. One caution, it is hard enough to maintain a marriage relationship when one party is in the military. Since you will be subject to the whims of the military, this will be made even harder, seperations can and most probably will be even longer. Things to think about...

I would say it is ok. But if you have kids. You might get deployed out at the same time. Also he might get deployed then he comes back. Then you get deployed right after. You would have to look in on that though. There might be a way aroun that. But other then that if that is what you want to do, do it

Please for the sake of your marriage don't like some of the others have said the whole rotating deployment thing would be HELL. As it is deployments hurt and most of the divorces that happen in the military seem to happen after a deployment with a back to back like that God I couldn't do it. If I were you I would wait until he got out and joined yourself if you still want to
