text: any other dual-military spouses having or had trouble with spousal co-location? navy for us, but any of the branches are welcome to answer. this is where the old navy saying " choose your rate, choose your fate" comes into play.  being dual military is one thing, but being two rates that are not generally stationed together, or having one rate rate with only limited billeting opportunties can hinder your chances at co-location.  besdies, the navy considers what, 150 miles to be co located?!
