If I get married before I PCS to Germany, what are the chances my military spouse can follow me? Is there a chance my orders get deleted?

I currently have re-enlisted for the OCONUS option and have orders to Germany in February 2020. My boyfriend and I are planning to get married in December before I PCS. What are that chances that he could get stationed with me? He is a 31B. What are the chances they might delete my orders (not what I want to happen)?

Slim to none until you both are married and then submit paperwork for the Joint Spousal Assignment Program.

I am not sure how long the paperwork takes to process as it has been some time since I've known people that were in the program. I would recommend you contact your S1 to get all details. I would also recommend you have your BF contact his S1. This close to the goal line....hard to say what will happen.

I know it may take a while for him to eventually come but I will be there for three years. So our plan was as soon as we get married enroll into the program, and then he was going to call branch about trying to get put on orders. Not many people have dealt with this kind of thing but any information helps.

It’s actually more complicated for OCONUS stations. Yes you can both be enrolled in the MACP and the Army can try and find your spouse a slot at the same duty station, but you also have to remember, the Army likes to save money any way it can so be prepared for them to say no to the initial request and then when it’s time to PCS, then they will make the move to potentially get you to the same location. You will have what is known as a DEROS, which means you are not allowed to leave country until that date. If the Army sends him to Germany after you and his DEROS is greater than 9 months from yours, they WILL NOT approve a common DEROS request and you will leave before him.

Once your married you can get stationed together under a spousal assignment program.
