UNDESIGNATED FIANCE QUESTION
My recruit left for RTC on March 21st, PIR is if all goes well on 5/18/2012. We were engaged prior to him signing and really wanted to get married before he left for so many reasons including the reason for us to be able to live together sooner. His recruiter strongly advised to not do so, to just wait until he finished BC and whatever training he would get afterwards. He said he could just get married in between school and being stationed at his first orders command post. I also found out that I was pregnant right after he arrived at RTC. My gut was telling me that his recruiter was not being fully honest about my recruit possibly being kicked out of the DEP program if we were to get married weeks before his ship out date. I must also clarify that his original ship date got changed to an earlier date than when we had expected so when his recruiter told us to wait, we took the advice because we were so ready for him go to RTC and get that chapter underway. Now it's to my better understanding that because he is not married, his first orders will definitely not cater to us in regards to me being able to live with him as BAH won't be available according to his orders. Any help or answers in this are greatly needed and appreciated.

Forwarn you are not going to like my post....
Undes Sailors get their orders while in bootcamp...so he will know where he will be stationed at when he PIR...after PIR he will go to a short school either in Great Lakes or P-cola depending what flavor of Undes he is.
His orders will be written for a single Sailor...so if he is stationed state side, you will have to pay out of your own pocket to move your stuff. If he gets stationed overseas, you will not be able to move with him as jr Sailors can not have family with them overseas until they are E4 or above and than they still need to get command sponsorship..which can take up to 6 months to get approved.
BAH is the housing allowance people get when they are married...if you get married while he is in "A" School (with approval from the school house) he will get BAH for you..even if he is stationed over in Japan, it is just you won't be able to live with him.
Something else..unless you are married when the child is born he can not even request paternatiy leave (which is 10 days leave for the daddy of the baby, but per the instruction you must be married for him to request it) keep in mind the leave is a request, which can be denied.
Does that make sence?

Very much so (makes sense that is). I had read a lot on this when we asked his recruiter if we could go ahead and get married. I figured it was more of a matter of the recruiter filing more paper work and not really a matter of him being thrown out of DEP. My fiance is ..um.. very submissive in ways and didn't really dig or ask many questions when he talked with his recruiter about it.His recruiter kept reiterating that he had "pulled so many strings" to get him shipped out sooner than his original date and we sort of just took him at face value , no matter what we had both learned online from other forums. Thank you so much though for some validation, I'm afraid I will have a highly perturbed sailor but we love each very much and will make it through this. Just hope to hear from him soon. Thanks again, Angie :)
