Yes, we are.

does the Air Force make an effort to keep you on the same bases at the same time? Outside of deployments, of course.

Yes, they do, as much as possible, through Join Spouse assigments. Case in point, my first duty station was Altus AFB, OK, and since she ended up getting assigned to Whiteman AFB, MO, for her first base, I put in for orders to join her up here.

There are exceptions, of course, generally depending on the job the respective members do, and the availability of said jobs at selected bases (for instance, Mrs. T's specialty is operational at far fewer bases than mine is), but for the most part, the USAF does try to keep spouses together.
