After boot camp my husband stayed in GL also. The ceremony ended around 10 am, we had about an hour & a half with him until he had to go check into A school and we didn't see him again until 4 pm. Just letting you know so you can be aware of how much time you may or may not have. They told him it could take up to 6 hours to check in, it really depends on how many Sailors are checking in and how fast they hustle to get over there... They don't start checking anyone in until ALL the Sailors have been bussed over from the bootcamp base to the A school base and they don't let anyone leave until they are all checked in. Honestly it seems very stressful (from what I have heard from those who have been able to do it) and it seems like it's easier to wait until he's settled in A school and you can take a long weekend to go visit him. And you definitely don't want to start your marriage by getting him in trouble already! But good luck to you I know it will all work out one way or another!

Good information! So Friday over to the courthouse is nearly impossible for the ones with A schools in Great Lakes? Good to know. We should write a SOP (standard operating procedure) ((I speak Navy))

The problem with books is the way policies and regulations change all the time! But some things are still the same, always the same ... they go, we stay and deal with the mountain of hassles.

He is not a Saturday departure? Does he know his flight time/date?
Two scenarios... he flies out Sunday, you can pull it off. Get the license on Friday afternoon, they have extended hours. Do the ceremony at nine on the spot. Hope no one in his division messes up liberty for the rest of them.
Second scenario: he is a Saturday departure, in which case the Navy will make him get on the bus to the airport at zero dark thirty. They can't transport themselves to the airport, the Navy insists on doing that. Even if their flight is not until later in the day, they are not usually given liberty the day of their flight. You can ask on the RTC FB page for verification of this policy.

And of course, you both understand he will be told not to marry that weekend. You're adults, so you two decide how much that means to you.
Best of luck and do let us know how it went, all the details. There's not nearly enough follow up here!
