What does the 40 or 50 calendar look like for now?
I am wondering. Are the MA A schools having any delays at all? Or backed up? My fiance is going it A school after his graduation on July 19th. How long should I expect him to be at one of these?

He does not leave for the A school until around the 20th or 22nd of July. I added up and I guess he would be here between the dates you posted. I am not to worried about it. Thank you though, The week by week is a good break down.

7 to 10 weeks at Lackland AFB based on recent groups, so graduation will be anywhere from 09/06/2013 to 09/27/2013 and that means that all goes well once he classes up.

That is good to know. I am glad we have a flexible wedding venue.
Thank you very much for the help!

You are very welcome. I wish you and your future Sailor/groom the best.

Thank you. I do have one last thing I would like to ask. So if I marry him after A school will everything fall into place and get fixed at some point? Do you think I will be able to join him at some point and what not?

Things always work out if you are willing to be flexible. You may be together at times and apart at times; it's just how it is in the Navy.

Yes I understand. I just wanted to make sure I would be able to end up on his orders after he gets to he station. I people keep telling me I should go to his A School but I am not sure if that will be possible. I just spent a bit of money for a plane ticket and a hotel at his graduation for Great Lakes.

You'll just have to do what you are able to do and take what happens. He needs to do his best in "A" School so that when the billets are offered that he will be able to pick one that will allow you to move to the area if you aren't on his orders. Even if he doesn't marry while in "A" School he will still need to get the chit to allow him to marry while on leave.

Now that part I do not believe. I have never heard of someone once they have their orders to have to "request" to be married. None of my friends or people I know in the military had that issue after their A School or Tech School......

Well, whether you believe it or not, he's in the Navy now and he is supposed to fill out a chit in order to get married and to have you added to his Page 2. Some commands also require that the Sailor receive premarital counseling prior to the chit being approved, but that is command specific and not all require it. Some do get married without filing the chit in advance and there aren't really any repercussions that I am aware of, but still there could be depending on the command. You can check on Girlfriends, Fiances,and Wives of Sailors and/or do a web search (chit to get married in the Navy) and find out more about that.
