What document from the spouse should a Sailor include with a personal request for colocation when married to another armed forces member not in the Navy?

Including a statement from the inter-service spouse is essential when a Sailor is submitting a personal request for co-location with a spouse who is a member of another branch of the armed forces. This statement serves as an acknowledgment of the spouse's support and a recognition of their own service commitments, which is critical in the decision-making process regarding co-location.

The statement can indicate the spouse's willingness to work together to address the challenges of dual military careers and how they would adjust to the co-location arrangement. This documentation helps facilitate coordination between the services involved and clarifies the mutual need for co-location based on both members’ military obligations.

This step underscores the importance of communication and documented support between service members in inter-service marriages, enhancing the application and consideration for co-location requests.
