Navy married to Coast Gaurd?

Question

I am currently in the Navy, and my husband wants to join the US Coast Gaurd. What is the possibilitie to get stationed together? Plus I am due to go out to sea in a few months. We have a son. Will we both be required to go out to sea? Also for any military service how is being dual military? With in the same branch or in tow different services. Thank you all in advance! By the way if it matters I am HM and he wants to go in as security in the Coast Gaurd

Answer 1

No real gaurantees other than maybe the same coast....maybe. You would have to tell your detailer and his recruiter, but even then you are not going to get any guarntees since the military in most cases will not guarantee anything to first term enlistees and it is a reach when you are in different branches. How are they going to guarantee him anything on his MEPS contract when they don't even know if he will make it through boot camp or school? It is a reach but you should call your detailer and ask a bunch of what if questions and seek their advice about what your husband should do to help the odds prior to signing on if you guys really want to stay together. This is a hard situation even if you were both Navy, but the Navy Coast Guard thing makes it even harder. You don't have that many choices for duty stations compared to him. He can get stationed almost anywhere including a river in the middle of Alabama of all places. Decide what you guys really want from your marriage before jumping in with both feet. If you make the wrong choice it could end your marriage in the future. 4 years is a long time to go without living with your spouse by choice. Dual military is awesome if you are both senior enough in your careers to have a say so in where you go. Booters don't have a say in anything. Both my husband and I are Navy about to retire. Our marriage would never have worked if we would have met and married at 18 newly in.

Answer 2

Me and my husband are both active duty navy. We luckly got stationed together. I think with him being coast guard it would be harder to get stationed together, but maybe not. My husband is on sea duty and im on shore, even though i just came from another shore command. they CANT have both of you sea duty at the same especially if you have kids. BUT that doesnt mean you cant get deployed.
for me and my husband, we dont like the fact that we're both active duty. It seems as though the navy can dink you around more if you're both active duty and i dont like that.

Answer 3

if you want stationed together you both need to be in the Navy there and not a lot of coast guard station around Navy bases. they will put both of you on the same base if you are married one of you will go to sea the other will get shore duty then you will shift afteryour tour is up.

Answer 4

I am within the CG and whilst you're two coasties they've the ninety mile rule, within the opening in case your are on unique rotations you probably aside for a few months however then they are attempting and repair that as quickly as viable by means of brief traveling any person. But I used to be advised that if you're in 2 unique branches they do not most of the time co find you. You'd must be a marine additionally for them to position you within the identical field. As for BAH, you are going to each get BAH and one among you are going to get BAH with dependant. Now in the event you had two kids you would declare one and he would declare one and then you definitely'd each every get BAH with dependants.

Answer 5

yes, it is conceivable that you will both be on sea duty at the same time. since you are going different Branches, you cannot alternate who is on shore duty quite as easily. additionally, spousal co location is more difficult when 2 branches are involved, especially since many CG bases are located nowhere near Naval installations.

additionally, CG regs may not allow for him to enlist since you have a child.
