Girlfriend left for BC May 1st
My girlfriend left for boot camp on May 1st. She's in the CTI program. I have a few questions for anyone who has already gone through this process. Will she get a day in between PIR and leaving for A-school? I'm moving to Monterey once graduation is done. She is trying to get leave to drive with me from Great Lakes to Monterey and that way we can have time to get married before she starts. If she doesn't get leave, which I hear doesn't happen very often for recruits, then I'm planning on driving by myself to Monterey. Will we have time to get married. How long does she have in between PIR and A-school? Any other advice or tips or what to expect??? She been at Great Lakes for a week now so I'm hoping that it starts to get easier from here.

Ok hate to burst the happiness bubble but wow. I'm here in Monterey and for one she will NOT get leave in between. You cannot get married while she has liberty from boot camp. It'll be about a month or so process after she gets here. Where are you planning to live when you arrive here? She will have to live in the barracks until the paper work is completed for the marriage and the bah might not come through automatically. She is only going to have from about 11 am til 7pm on Friday and maybe a few hours at the airport. Please please please don't be the people that get married on boot liberty and not do things the proper way!

I understand that she most likely won't get leave. However, her recruiter told her to make sure the officers at GL know that she needs time to get married and move all of her stuff from North Carolina to Monterey. If that doesn't happen, we have a back up plan. That's what I'm for. I'll just do it myself. Because we know that she probably won't get leave, I'm just going to drive to Monterey myself and then we will get married once she gets to Monterey. Even if we wanted to get married right after boot camp, we can't because gay marriage isn't legal in Illinois. From most people that I've talked to, they all say that BAH goes through pretty soon after we make it official.
