Depends, you could accidently get the same post if you put in for it.

I know in Korea, as long as you both were in Korea....the Army was fine with that...

Best to start all the paperwork now...

It is called the "Married Army Couples Program"

Here are some articles/items:

Married Army Couples Program – changes take into account deployment cycles - News - Fort Hood Sentinel

You may not understand all the articles. It is my understanding that about 80% of those who properly applied are together.

Big stress on the bold. The Army won't just put you at the same place without you informing them of your situation; you have to do the legwork and paperwork to make sure they properly consider you are married to a Soldier-then, they really do try, but there are never guarantees.
