He has to get permission to travel overseas on leave, and it may or may not be approved depending on where you live, and his short amount of earned leave. Unmarried sailors are not eligible for paternity leave, I am sorry to say. Does he have his passport, just in case overseas travel is approved when he takes leave? If he has any sort of security clearance, he will need permission to marry you, as you are not a US citizen.
He earns leave at 2.5 days a month, for a total of 30 days each year. He cannot take leave during training, so C school will not release him. His new command will not want to let him take so much leave until he has finished his qualifications as a new sailor.
I am sorry, there is not much I can suggest. It is a difficult situation now, but once he gets through training and settled at his new command, it has the chance of being much better. Best wishes to you both, I hope it all works out.

He needs to talk to his security officer at school, to be sure there is not any extra paperwork he needs to do, or be aware of.

He did it, but they are confusing. At first they Told him he can come, than that he needs to ask permission for I don't remember what. Than the legal told him it is better to wait and not to come now.

Well, right now the threat level is quite high so I understand that. And any leave overseas requires special permission any time. Marrying a non-citizen is a separate issue, if he has a clearance, he can lose it and not be able to do his job. So he has to get permission, and they might have to do a security check on you. It gets very complicated, and I do not have access to that level of detail online.

They suggested him the proxy marriage, but it costs about 800$. If he comes here the plane ticket is about 1200$, we could get married and have a few days to spend together.
