My wife and I are both SNA's in Primary, separated by 3-4 months in the overall pipeline. I want to select maritime and she wants to select rotary, but both of us are flexible and open to any platform. We've read the new 2016 instruction regarding collocation but a couple points are still unclear to us: when does the navy start trying to collocate us (if I get P8s and she gets rotary are we guaranteed Jacksonville for our first duty station)? Do we immediately begin a sea/shore duty split or do we both have to fulfill a sea tour first? And does a marriage status have any effect on platform selection out of primary or advanced?
