I am sure some one has asked this before, but me and my husband are dull military we were both in the same unit untill i got moved to deploy with the one im at now, but when i get home from this deployment there is only a week until he leaves with his, how can we make it so we are on the same deployment rotations when he gets back, or can it not be done? we are already enrolled in the married couples program, but I dont know what else I can do so we dont run into what we are having to deal with now with not being to see each other for about 2 years besides the one week? We are both 88M and are in the same brigade just not the same battalion.

You could also request this through the Assignment Satisfaction Key (ASK).
IAW MILPER Message 11-141, the "MACP" feature provides Soldiers enrolled in
the Married Army Couples Program (MACP) (Enl married to Enl) the capability to
indicate a preference for simultaneous deployment cycles. This
information is available to assist commanders as they deem appropriate.

This seems like something that can be handled through the NCO Support Channel. Moves within BDEs are usually "approved" by the BDE CSM. I would work through your PSG and 1SG and BN CSM (both yours and your husbands). If the situation is elevated that way, by both Support Channels, it is a more solid case to bring before the BDE CSM.

My husband and I have been moved to meet each other's deployment cycles twice. It was just a matter of opening our mouths and talking with our command. They do not know there is an issue unless you talk with them.
