Hi! My boyfriend and I are both commissioning in May and plan to get married before he recieves his duty assignment at school. He’s branching Active Duty AF Intelligence and I am branching TC assigned to a guard unit up in Vermont. We just wanted to field out our options post-BOLC based on any similar experiences or situations regarding dual military. If anyone has any advice or insight they could give it would be much appreciated!

Yes, if he moves out of Vermont, you then want to switch to the Army Reserve. that way, your ta-50 or your basic issue can stay with you instead of having to turn it in to each and every state you leave. I noticed that from the Army National Guard that every unit I left or every Battalion I left, I had to turn in all my gear even if I stayed in the same state. In the Army Reserve, you get all your gear and it goes with you no matter what state you go to. I just transferred from an Army Reserve training command in California to a logistical Regional support group in Tacoma Washington and I didn't have to turn anything in when I left. Also, if you also join the Army Reserve, if you happen to like a particular unit that's far away from your husband's current assignment, you can get reimbursed up to $500 in airline and Rental Car travel expenses. I know the Army reserve unit will cover you for lodging and kind when you fly in from long distances . You can buy your own ticket from Priceline or Expedia and( not pay overpriced prices that you see on DTS with Carlson wagonlit travel) and then get reimbursed with a local voucher. I don't think the National Guard does this. I hope this little bit of knowledge helps you.

Could you narrow down what type of advice you're seeking? Your question is rather broad. Questions that are more specific lead to answers that are more useful.
