Getting Married after Basic and During A-School?
Hi,
I haven't posted in N4M yet. I've mostly just been trying to find what I needed to know on here.
My guy is graduating soon from basic. We both want to get married. The day after graduation, he will be flying to A-school to begin his education for around a 2 year program.
I of course would like to join him in A-school. We had discussed not getting married before basic for reasons that it would be nuts with the paperwork, and the recruiter informed us that my guy would be set back an additional six months before he would be able to go to basic(maybe they lied, maybe they didn't, but it is now moot). He had already been set back because of security clearance check ups (or whatever it is officially called) and getting paper work in order.
So with all that said:
Will he be permitted to marry in the first two weeks of A-school?
Where do we get the paperwork/forms/chit to get married?
Am I allowed to move to the area of his A-school and is he allowed to live off base or on base with me once we are married?
Will the Navy pay for us to move?
Are there different rules for getting married based on his job?
Anything else major I should be aware of?
Thanks
If you don't mind I would prefer not to be specific in this post about where he will be at in school or his job title.

Which school? It matters, as nuke school does it differently than other schools. I am assuming nuke as that's the only two year program. With A school, it is not an opsec or persec violation to say where they'll be attending school.
The following info ONLY applies to nukes: Yes, he can marry that soon. They ask them during indoc who will be marrying, and guide them through the process. In some cases, they send them home to get you. Not sure about the paid move, usually, no, although with nuke school, perhaps. (other schools require they wait until they phase up on liberty, two weeks to a month or longer).
He gets the paperwork at his school, he cannot do that in boot camp. Different commands, boot camp has nothing to do with permissions at his school. On your end, you will want your birth certificate and SSN card ready.
Yes, you can live with him during school. They prefer you choose on base housing, but you can rent using your BAH. You will need a car. He will be at school long hours, up to 14 hours a day.
If you are a US citizen, have no foreign family members, and are not a convicted felon, then you marrying him will not affect his clearance.

That is fantastic information! Thank you so much! :)
Much simpler than I anticipated it would be. And also, thank you for the info on OPSEC about his school. Yes, he will be in Charleston. I thought you may have been the one to answer this by the way.Thank you Anti M.
