Hi everyone! I don't think I've ever posted in here.. I spend most of my time over in the POOL-ee hall... but I've got a question most poolees are too young to answer and I thought it might be more appropriate to ask here.....
My fiance is in the Marine Corps reserve and I am getting ready to go to Parris Island, too. As of right now, I am going reserve also-- but we are talking about me going active duty-- the decision factor is whether or not we could be stationed together. Our recruiter said that I would not have a problem getting stationed near him (we live right by the back gate of Camp Pendleton), especially since we'll be married.
It is one thing to hear that from a recruiter, but I am wondering if there is anyone in here whose husband is also a Marine.. if so, can you share any experience you've had being married to another Marine? I would really appreciate any information/stories anyone is willing to share... I've heard a lot of people from other services talk about being in the service with their husband, but they were usually complaining... and, of course, Marines don't complain, so I don't have much more than some Army whining and the recruiter's word to go on...
thank you in advance for your time! :)
