Air Force/ Military Question
Posted on 10/28/25 at 1:46 pm

Let's say you are in flight school and have a relationship with a female also in flight school, and then you get married. When it is time to get stationed, will the AF send you both to the same station? Is it possible they would break you apart? What if you get to be a fighter pilot and she gets cargo? I have no idea why I just thought of this question.

They will try if it’s possible but unless they are both flying the same frame the chances of it happening are slim.

If they wanted you to get married they would have issued you a spouse.

i dont know about the Air Force, but generally speaking they try to get spouses stationed together if possible because it's good for retention. that said, needs of the military come first, and if they cant do it, they wont.

The needs of the service will always come first.

This.
Really the only time I saw where spouses didn't get stationed together was if one of them got orders to South Korea.

You describing the plot of Officer and a Gentleman but with the twist that Debra Winger is also in flight school.

Competition is so stiff nowadays that being a regular townie isn't good enough. Got to go full-immersion like Jane Goodall and the gorillas.

Unless you are a General she’ll leave you anyway, so it really doesn’t matter.

You don't marry strippers or military women

If they’re like the Army, you’ll get sent to Korea on a hardship deployment while she will be stationed in Germany where she will be entered more times than the Lincoln Tunnel.

I remember when I joined the army, we had some guys in my platoon at basic who were already married. So of course on their dream sheet they all put down Germany as their preferred duty station while us single guys put down Korea because we’d heard the stories of what goes on there. When we all got our orders, every one of us single guys were going to Germany while the handful of married guys got orders for Korea. I believe one married guy was also served divorce papers when he told his wife.

i'm just laughing at the notion of a deployment to Korea in any decade that doesnt end in "-fifties" as being hardship

That’s what was called in the 80s because you couldn’t take dependents, including your spouse. That is why the married guy in my platoon was served divorce papers. He was about to go to Korea for a year while his wife had to stay stateside. I guess she didn’t wan to wait on him, so she dumped him instead.
