What should I expect as my husband transitions from a US Marine to a US Soldier?

My husband recently got out of the Marines to go into the Army, and ships out for AIT next thursday. His MOS is 25B, and we have a 6 year enlistment ahead of us. How far into the schools have you personally found out your duty station? And how does your duty station get chosen in the Army? I have so many questions, and my husband does not know, and his recruiters do not seem to either. What kind of changes should I expect as a spouse? Are the rules different in the Army?What should I expect as my husband transitions from a US Marine to a US Soldier?
'; WE';? Did you enlist in the Army too?!





He will get his assignment before graduation.





he can request his assignment preference up to 3 locations, stateside or overseas, bottom line, assignments are made with the most urgent need of his MOS (IT specialist) right before graduation.


';needs of the army';





26B's in the army can be assigned anywhere! Try to get a Medical Command!





YOU will become a family member/spouse (army)





I'm sure the rules of family members are the same!What should I expect as my husband transitions from a US Marine to a US Soldier?
I've worked with some former Marines. Every one of them has hated the Army. I'm not saying your husband will hate the Army, but the odds are in favor of it.





In the Army, you tell them where you would like to get stationed, and they proceed to ignore you. The earliest he'll find out his duty station will be a couple of months before he graduates AIT. I found out my duty station as I walked across the stage on graduation day.
The marines are more stricter, so he should have a picnic in the Army. Just keep the lines of Communication open when he departs.
Why in the world did he do that??????????????
