I call bullshit. Your posts are way to coherent for drunk posting.
Just admit it, you're "different".

Six beers is a lot when you're a lightweight. Maybe our classifications of "drunk" are different. I had enough feel emotional and reply. But fine I'm strange.

I’m going to revive this thread with a quick what-if question. I’m going to be commissioning at the end of May 2019 as a SWO. I have been dating another SWO for 4 years, and we would love to be stationed together. He is currently in San Diego until May 2020. Is there a way he can begin his second tour early, and we both move to Everett? And secondly, would getting married make that possibility greater? Thanks.

Think about what you just said/asked. Do you really think the Navy is going to pull someone’s orders or move someone just for a girlfriend?

He bowls overhand.
If you are not married, the military will not do anything to attempt to co-locate you and your boyfriend.
If you are married, the military will attempt to co-locate you, but I don't think that they can do much to get your tours to perfectly align. Additionally, co-location is not guaranteed. Even if you do co-locate, you could be on ships that have opposite sea/shore schedules.
Unfortunately, this is far from the dumbest question ever posed by an Ensign.
Co-location only comes into play after you are married. Period. Anything beyond that is detailers taking the time to listen to their detailees.
It is highly unlikely that he will be able to begin his second tour early. Part of it is going to depend on HOW early you are talking. If you are talking leaving a year early when he is only on 2 year orders? Yeah, not gonna happen. What is more likely is that if you get stationed in Everett and are married when he comes up for orders, he will have a higher probability of getting Everett.
The bigger issue is that y'all are gonna be staggered at that point. Assuming he does his second tour with you in Everett, you will be rolling into your second sea tour while he is rolling to shore. Not gonna lie, but i don't know how many career enhancing shore tours are in the Everett area. It is possible to catch up a bit during your shore duty--if you roll into DH school early and roll in with him. I have seen that happen in at least one case to work co-location.

Thanks everybody for the input. We knew the likelihood of Everett was low, but wanted to look at every possibility. Our back-up plan is to both stay in San Diego. He doesn’t plan on doing more than 5, so after that we can bounce around my stations.
We appreciate the help!

She’s not even an Ensign yet.

If you don't know what that means....it means I concurr 10000 to the billionth power with Brett's statement....run at the spead of the Big Bang expanding and get on with your life. When you are with the one....you will know.
I also agree with Renegade....Sweet Mother of JHFC. "My original avatar was the death note in Jacques-Louis David's The Death of Marat. However my name "earthmover" and the death note picture was a stolen concept from my favorite Have A Nice Life song on the album Deathconsciousness. To make it my own, I decided to keep a Jacques-Louis David theme and use his Patroclus painting. In due time my avatar will change, but it will not be because of a self sense of masculinity that is so fragile that it prevents me from admiring the male body from an artist's perspective."
Are you sure you want to be in the profession of killing things....becasue ultimatly that is what we are paid for when it comes down to it.

FWIW, these days in SWO-world (PERS-41) Co-Lo for non-married couples is a thing.
That is utterly mind boggling given that when my husband asked his detailer to consider the fact that I had deployment orders as a reservist, he was told that it didn't count because I was a reservist and he could suck up what orders he got. No offense, but giving co-lo to non married couples when married couples on the AD/RC split don't get consideration is rather frustrating.
I'm not a manning guy - my info is anecdotal. I'd be willing to bet that, overall, PERS supports Co-Lo when it's easy for them, be it a married/engaged/long-term dating couple. The ease of the Co-Lo is more important to them that the actual status of the relationship.
All that said - still don't know how I feel about Co-Lo. Objectively, the Navy chooses love over merit when making these detailing decisions; my suspicion is that some couples exploit the program.
