navy wife going to gtmo bay:)
Hey everyone i am a new navy wife and my husband is stationed in Cuba. He has been there for two months and I leave next month to be with him. Since this group is not very active i thought i would put my story on here to help out others in the future.
My husband and i got married right before he left for Cuba so i was not on his orders or any of his paperwork which made things a bit complicated. It took a month to get all of his paperwork updated and for me to get my military ID but after that things started to move a little faster. We deffinetly did things the hard way but i now know the easy way to do things so i am going to give you some of my adivse.
I live in a state where there is no active duty military bases around so i had to drive 4 hours to the closest base to get my medical clearence complete. It took me a long time to figure out all the paperwork and get it sent to me by my husband. You can wait for your husband to send you all the correct paperwork or contact you local military base and ask for the closest active duty military base for an overseas medical screen. they should know what your talking about and get you to the right person. The active duty doctor can send you all the paperwork you will need which is way faster than trying to get it from cuba. Once you have all the paperwork filled out by your civilain doctors and dentist make an appointment with the military doctor to finish up. when all the paperwork is done you can either send it to your spouse and have them take it to the hospital down there or you can send it directly to them(just get the email address from your spouse). My military doctor sent down all the documents for me but not sure if all of them will do that. After the medical is all cleared your spouse can then start the house process which may take a bit depending on the availabiltiy at that time.
Dont forget you will need a passport and a copy of his orders to be able to go on the plane along with your military ID. I think it is a 2 bag check in limit with up to 75 lbs per bag but that might change.
If you have any more questions i will help the best I can. I will be in cuba for 3 years and internet down there is hit-n-miss so will do my best to stay with this sight to help you out.
I hope this gets you atleast started in the right direction and always remember your local military base can help just ask lots of questions.
Good luck on everything
also cell phones do not work in cuba so the best/cheapest way to comunitcate is through video chat on the internet. wheather that is skype-the free tango app- or facebook video chat- all work great but skype is kind of exspensive. they can also purchase $5 calling cards that usualy last 50 minutes or so.
