You guys can also look into going into the buddy program. That is if it still exists. There used to be a program where you and your friend could pal around and go through all of your training together. Ask your recruiter about it.Response by SGT Joseph Gunderson made Feb 7 at 2018 10:57 AM2018-02-07T10:57:29-05:002018-02-07T10:57:29-05:00SGM Bill Frazer3331667<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Luck of the draw- i.e., needs of the ArmyResponse by SGM Bill Frazer made Feb 7 at 2018 11:28 AM2018-02-07T11:28:26-05:002018-02-07T11:28:26-05:00PO1 William "Chip" Nagel3332444<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div><a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="1448916" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/1448916-william-hay">William Hay</a> I'm a Sailor and a Cryppie, Small Elite Field, Almost Everytime I Transferred I Knew Someone.Response by PO1 William "Chip" Nagel made Feb 7 at 2018 3:10 PM2018-02-07T15:10:40-05:002018-02-07T15:10:40-05:00Cpl Justin Goolsby3332456<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Anything is possible, just remember the military is a big family. You could start in the same unit and go to two different units the moment you get to the fleet. It all depends on who needs the bodies more.<br /><br />When I was in MOS school, we got the choice East Coast/West Coast/Overseas and we were disbursed accordingly to which unit needed the bodies. I've only seen 2 guys I went to MOS school with. All 3 of us got sent to different units on the same base.<br /><br />So don't get hung up on whether or not you guys will be able to stick together. The military will put you where they need you. If you're really friends, you'll find the time to talk to each other... even if it's just through facebook.Response by Cpl Justin Goolsby made Feb 7 at 2018 3:14 PM2018-02-07T15:14:50-05:002018-02-07T15:14:50-05:00SPC David Willis3332501<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Its all up to luck. Some basic training classes have lots of folks go to the same unit, if that's the case not only will you go to the same unit but you'll probably deploy together. I didn't go to basic with a friend but I met one of my good buddies in basic. We were put in the same squad in basic and stayed squad mates for all four years of our AD contracts. Not very likely but it can happen.Response by SPC David Willis made Feb 7 at 2018 3:25 PM2018-02-07T15:25:52-05:002018-02-07T15:25:52-05:001SG Private RallyPoint Member3333713<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It is possible.

It depends on your Time and place. Long answer if you and he ship to the same place at the same time good chance you will at least be in the same company but 1/4 chance you will be in the same platoon. If you even leave a day apart you will be in different companies if you leave a week apart you will be in different battalionsResponse by PFC Private RallyPoint Member made Feb 8 at 2018 9:32 AM2018-02-08T09:32:54-05:002018-02-08T09:32:54-05:00SSG Private RallyPoint Member3336867<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes you can, my roommate and one of his childhood best friends went to OSUT with me and we’re in the same company now.Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Feb 8 at 2018 8:38 PM2018-02-08T20:38:49-05:002018-02-08T20:38:49-05:00Sgt Private RallyPoint Member3337119<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Dude, after looking at all the other questions you’ve asked to guys that have been in or are in. You sound like a guy that plays way to much Battlefield or COD. Why does it matter what cammo the Army wears or what units are deployed right now and what they do or are similar to. You can find all of this out on the internet without asking us and sounding like an idiot, also why would you want to be in the same unit as your friend from high school, it sounds like you’ve planned on being super secret 007 navy seal sniper paratroopers out of the 101st. because what will happen is one of you will fall behind and end up hating the other for being the reason why your platoon is now getting fucked with.Response by Sgt Private RallyPoint Member made Feb 8 at 2018 10:41 PM2018-02-08T22:41:06-05:002018-02-08T22:41:06-05:00SGT Robert Farrell3337511<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>yes-or you could be in different units tooResponse by SGT Robert Farrell made Feb 9 at 2018 6:15 AM2018-02-09T06:15:45-05:002018-02-09T06:15:45-05:00SPC Matthew Shovlin3352860<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If you entered in the buddy program you can be.
