Hi there is plenty of MOS’s that are open to women and men both including medic etc. Are you sure you want to be a 88M. They do not really have a lot of civilian job opportunities once you leave the army. As for you and your husband being assigned to the same unit that is not hard and they will do that. However they will not put you in the same truck because you are both privates and every truck has a private driver and a spc or above TC (truck commander) So that’s a no-go. Other than that they will put you in the same unit station you together etc. Have any other questions shoot me an email. ….. Shadow Stalker

holy crap! don’t be a truck driver! find another job, medic, something. get married before you join, and be sure you both get a contract for same duty station.

You can both be truck drivers, yes — but you should get the image of you both riding in the same truck out of your head — it’s not going to happen.
Tons of jobs other than 88M are open to women — most of them require a higher skillset/GT score than 88M, though.
The smart choice would be for each of you to sign up for a job you actually WANT, and then see where it goes from there. Once you are in AIT you can ask about the married army couple’s program — which still does NOT guarantee you will ever be assigned together.
Trust me when I tell you the Army is not going to let you just sit really close to your boyfriend and make sure he doesn’t get lost… it’s just not going to happen.
