I’m getting married this year. I’m an E-3 in the Air Force and he’s an E-5 in the Marine Corps. He’s currently at Camp Lejeune and I am at RAF Lakenheath. Would I get stationed near him since he outranks me? Or how would that work?

It will be predicated in available jointvassignments and a lot of luck. Dual military is hard enough in the same branch, it will be much harder to keep you in commuting distance in two separate branches. Be prepared for a tough road ahead. Thank you for your service.

Even if Seymour Johnson is within commuting distance? Oh it’s an honor to serve, sir.

Seymour Johnson is a good 1 and 1/2 hour drive from Jacksonville. Suppose you are looking at residing halfway?

The issue is the expense of your career and the number of assignments. There just aren’t enough joint domicile locations for intraservice. Be proactive and do you research. It always helps to know the options yourself so that others can be informed.

If his MOS is tracks that will be hard. Your looking at maybe 4 bases worldwide he can be stationed at.

Needs of the Air Force, needs of the Marine Corps. Likelihood of being stationed at the same physical location is slim. However, you might get lucky every so often and be stationed close. What's close? you ask, needs of the Air Force, needs of the Marine Corps.
That said, there are locations overseas where Marines and Airman are stationed near each other, Okinawa, Japan comes to mind. Not knowing what your betrothed's MOS is, it would be hard to try and predict if you would ever be stationed together. Good Luck!
