I did the same thing. All we did was get a marriage license and went to the courthouse and got married. He did not do anything for the Navy. It was easy!!!!! Good Luck

Hey ladies ive been in ur shoes not to long ago lol !! Trust me u will hear alot of different things but it not as hard as mst say .. well yes it does take alot of waiting lol.. But will be worth it in the end.. Well my husband and I got married on june 24th at the pensacola court house .. He arrived in p-cola june 6th.. We had to wait til he hit phase 2 liberty. Which in our terms just means he can leave base with a buddy when liberty is called.. Ok so once he was able to leave we made sure he had enough money to pay for my way there and home , hotel, and to get married.. Once that was done I got there took a texi straight to base and meet him. Went to sign out woth him as his liberty buddy. And took a taxi.to the court house and got married all in that day.. Now it was easier for me to do this cuz my hubbys mti let him leave at 1 before liberty was called becuz he knew he was getting married but liberty is called around 3 or 4 at times so maybe u could try and get ur sailors to ask as well but beware not all mti's are that nice.. Well im now leaving here in pensacola until our next orders.. If anyone else needs help feel free to ask .... Good luck

great! I keep hearing so many negative things..i actually just wrote him a letter telling him how i was getting kinda anxious about it b/c people keep saying "no, you cant do that" with no real explanation. You aren't the first one to tell me you can though. I plan to drive down once he gets phase 2 as well, have a small beach wedding or courthouse wedding and plan to have a month or so of rent saved up (I'm currently working full time as a nurse and living with my mom, so i'm saving all the money i can!) I'm so excited to be a wife/navy wife and live in Pensacola for a while!

Yesthere are people like that but idk when I heard something I didnt like I would find out somewhere else lol.. Driving down cool frm where?? Its very good ur saving which I didnt do lol but its always best.. For myself it was harder to get a place cuz my credit isnt that good and a broken lease ( frm a bad break up before.) They check all that in the apts i wanted. So I ended up settling for a pretty nice and cheap duplex. Which to me is better anyway no loud people as in apts and the rent is low compared to apts here we have a good amount of.BAH left for us ...
