Advice for married couple looking to join the Air Force as Officers?

I have a financial management degree and my husband has an information technology management degree. Looking to see if we have a good chance of being stationed together in the states, neither one of us really wants to go overseas.Advice for married couple looking to join the Air Force as Officers?
It really varies. But, if you get picked for an overseas assignment you either go or you end your career. It's that simple. I've known folks who spent 30 years and never went overseas. And, I've known others that spent 1/2 their career either in USAFE or PACAF.





The other thing to note... just because they will talk up the joint spouse program doesn't mean it will always work. Especially in the officer corp, where spots are only 1-2 people deep. We have a couple here who have had a rough 3 years.... both of them officers and well into their careers. They came to England together. Then she did a 6 month deployment. Then they were together. Then he did an 8 month deployment. Then they were together. They just got their stateside assignments... She's going to Scott (Illinois), he's going to McChord (Washington State). So much for joint assignments!

While the Air Force does a decent job of keeping dual-service members stationed together or near each other, it is never a guarantee. And overseas assignments, while not required, are at the very least EXPECTED if you care about making the AF a career. Not to mention deployments...you will be deployed at some point.





Good luck with getting a commission. The process is competitive.
No offense, you're naive.





You and your husband will have to get accepted into OTS. It's a basically boot camp for Officer Candidates. The problem? It's by invitation only. If you and your husband didn't graduate with 3.5+ GPA's, are physically fit, have no background issues, etc, you're not going to get accepted. There's only so many slots available.





If by some miracle you both got accepted, you don't get to decide where you live and you probably won't even live together.
The mission of the military, all branches and components, is to deploy, when ordered and to fight and win our nation's wars..if the two of you can;t square with that...stay at home. The military is not a welfare social works project....
You have an excellent chance of being stationed together.





You have almost no chance of avoiding an overseas assignment at some point.
Can't say about no going overseas, but you should always be assigned together, by the nature of your professions. Overseas is really not bad give it a try.
