DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Where to get married at Great Lakes
hey everyone, I hope you are all doing wonderful in this month of December.
I received a letter from my fiance, and he said something about getting married on base at Great Lakes. I am not one to sit by and wait for information I just can't help it. Does anyone know if there is a place to get married on base and what you need to do for it? Thanks so much...

Boot Camp side or A-School side?
Most ladies here will tell you DO NOT get married the weekend of PIR. It is not worth it, there is not time, and your SR is specifically told not to do so. -

Courthouse is the usual choice.

You can call and ask. The sire will say is is not secure, but it is okay to use.

He will have to fill out paper work after he gets to the "A" School side before he gets married. He is the only one who can do that paper work and is required to attend classes before he gets married.

I went to a place called lake county this past weekend i went on friday to get the license (they are opened until 7 on fridays ) and on saturday we went to a building across the street for the ceremony (the judge is there from 930-11) i suggest getting there by 9 maybe a little earlier because they do it by groups in order i was there by 9 and we were the first group called in, its started getting crowded after 9... I brought in my drivers license and he took his military ID make sure you know your social security number you will need it for the license.

The first address in the box is the place to go for license and the bottom one for the ceremony and at the bottom there is a phone number in case you want to call .... The location is 10 minutes away from base
