Is there a way for me or my wife to be together in the same duty station if she is in Korea and I’m in fort bliss? I’m done with processing and she just started processing her MOS is a cook 92G and I’m an FDC 13J
I know there’s a policy with them having up to 12 months to bring you together but is there anyway to speed up that process? And as far as BAH they said we wouldn’t be getting that?.. thanks in advance!

You won’t receive BAH because you have quarters available as geographical bachelor and bachelorette (if I said that correctly). As for being assigned together, if you are in the MACP, you will once she completes her tour. It is not likely that you will be in the exact same unit at Company level, but you may be assigned to the same Battalion or Brigade. Ensure your paperwork is straight. The important work is on her end when it comes time for PCS, check now. Thank you both for your service.

First question, have you both enrolled in the Married Army Couples Program (MACP)? That's the first step. Then HRC will be able to start to work your assignments together.

Roger, good first step. As SFC Boyd mentioned, this will affect future assignments, but likely not your current one. It is important that you both work closely with HRC on your future assignments, and recognize that, in order to station you together (especially if you are in different MOS's) you may not get your top choice of duty station. My wife and I have been in MACP for 13 years, and it works most of the time, but not all.

MACP affects your future assignments, not your current one. Your wife will be at Korea for one year, which is the DOD mandated minimum tour length, and then PCS to your location. 12 months that you're referring to is the sped up process.
