The Navy will only pay for a dependent move if they are on the orders when the sailor receives them; "accompanied" orders. The exception to this would be if the sailor requests an orders modification to add a dependent authorization. There is a time frame for that, so he should ask immediately if it is possible.

Yea, I'm in kansas and he's stationed at Mayport in Jacksonville. I figured that their regs would be different, but I also figured they'd be similiar in certain areas. We weren't married when he received his orders. I guess our only options are for him to modify his orders then? I've looked into several different moving companies, and just to move my one bedroom is a thousand dollars. Its crazy.

Well I would suggest maybe moving by a u-haul just this first time so you guys can be together. If it was me I would and the next one will be on the Navy!

Yeah, that's what we are going to have to do. I think it's only about $300 to rent a trailor the size i need, so we should be able to get it on track. We're super busy planning our wedding ceremony (we had a courthouse wedding) in the fall, so things are extremely stressful right now. I know that i need to bring several records with me when i move, to apply for different things and for our paperwork. Any info on what documents i need to bring with me?

I've only been down there during the winter months, and i loved it. I'm not so sure i'm ready for the humidity! lol And thank you so much! He's on his way to Kansas right now actually. (: i'm so excited to see him, i've missed him like crazy! I just want to make sure everything is in order, and i don't forget anything that i need.
All the paperwork involved is way over my head, and too confusing for me. There's so much to take in and learn, but i'm slowly figuring everything out. lol
