The first 4 weeks he will be in phase 1. And I believe isn't allowed to go off base. But can put in a chit for deviation from the regular liberty policy. My hubby's chit was approved for him to spend te night with me in our hotel off base for the whole weekend while he was till in phase 1. Depends on his chief. They might make him wait until phase 2. Either way he has to do a chit to get married. And take a class I'm pretty sure. As far As his length of school I'm not sure!

You guys give so much accurate information :) his graduation was this Friday 05/16 and we were not able to get married this weekend. He said he had to get permission first, so today he's suppose to find out all of that information. He said that today they get to find out that information and about his classes. He's an e3 electrician. Anyone how long typically is their school . Also anyone know how does liberty work when there waiting for class to start? & how long do you guys think they'll make us wait to get married? Hope to hear a response soon. Thanks every one :)

He checked with his duty section leader and was able to find out and ended up getting the signature he needed! Thanks everyone for the advice!

They should have office hours posted. Maybe the guy is on leave, but there should be someone authorized to sign off for him. If he can;t find his first class, then he should jump up the chain to the chief.
