I met my son at the airport with his backpack that he packed before he left. It contained his own undies, a pair of jeans, shorts, and 2 tshirts, flip flops, along with his camera, cell phone, computer, and chargers. Although he wasn't allowed to wear his civies until phase 2 he wore them in his room. lol. He is at Corry.
About the married thing: one of my former students just got married to someone who is in a school last weekend. I don't know the details but she is moving next week. So it can happen. Also, one of my Nuke friends married her sailor the weekend after PIR in Charleston. I know it is different there because the school is 2 years long. Wish I could help you more.
