Kelsey how long is his A school? They can live off base but unless its a long A school the live ashore chit might take awhile and they will not pay for you to move to his A school if you werent married before. So unless his A school is super long then the best thing to do is go, get married, and come back and wait for him to get done. Thats exactly what me and my hubby did. I went while he was in Phase II we got married I stayed for a week on spring break then came back home finished school and now we are at our first duty station. For your move to get paid for you must be married AND in the system before he gets his orders! So My hubby and I got married and he got his orders abt a month later and I was on his orders. If I hadnt been they would not have paid for a move because it would have been unaccompanied! I didnt even attempt to go to FL bc my hubbys A school was only like 1 month and a half and I had school but it wouldnt really have been worth it. Once he gets the Page 2 filled out then you should start getting BAH after a few pay periods. If you have somewhere to stay until then save it for future expenses! Also at Pcola make sure he makes people help him! My hubby found out things he was entitled to through our research! If you are on his orders a paid move also means you get dislocation allowance, travel paid, and per diem! Thats a big reason you wanna be on his orders! If you have any questions about getting married down there let me know. I just got it all done in March!

Congrats robertsgirl! I just sent mine off to boot camp today, already missing him and he hasn't even left the state!!

@Kelsey-no generally sailors aren't allowed to live off base during A school even if they are married before. Depending on the length of his school it might not even make sense for you to move there. BUT even if he can not technically live with you (he will have a dorm/barracks on base) by the time they are in A school MOST sailors have phase 3 liberty which means they can leave base when they finish their classes for the day and come back by 9 am or somthing the following morning if they don't have duty that night. Also, if they don't have duty over the weekends they can pretty much leave after class Friday and be back Monday morning. Like I said this is MOST, NOT ALL, and your boyfriend will have to ask his RDC. You will not be able to live on base during A school since he still has to live in the barracks housing. A lot of the info you're asking for he should be asking his RDC, also most A schools have their own groups on here, have you found your boyfriend's yet? They will be able to give you information more specific to that base.

My boyfriend & I have really been talking a lot about getting married even before he left for basic. He graduates basic on august 5th then goes to Pensacola, Florida. We want to get married sometime while he's in A school. Just dont know when yet because of the busy military schedule and stuff. But when we do get married does anyone think that they will let us live together during A school? & On Base or Off? Is their a certain amount of time we have to be married before a deadline or anything? I need to know everything I can & he also is wantng me to write him info. Any Information is greatly appreciated. My name is kelsey by the way

Hi navywife'E and Cori,

My boyfriend is just under a month away from shipping out to BC, after which he will be going to San Diego for A & C schools (his job is STG-AEF), and I will be moving out there with him. I was wondering if either of you would be able to help me with some questions I have?

Hi ladies, I have a question,

My boyfriend just graduated from bootcamp on Friday. Im sure as a lot of you know after spending so much time prepairing for it mentally and getting ready its weird to know what to do now. Also I found out that I wont get to see him for 6 months because of his A school. Yesterday was so hard just thinking about it. Any advice on how to deal with it or anything that would help? thank you!

Hey cori, I jus moved to san diego in feb to be with my sailor. Be sure to know what base your man will be, the san diego base is huge! I found a furnished, month-month affordable housing 4 miles from my hubby. It's an awesome situation, living in a duplex style house with a huge backyard & friendly working professionals as housemates, we have weekly family style potluck dinners! Check it out, they have 3 properties in the san diego area. It sounds perfect for your situation. They are very military friendly! I love living here! I'm able to have private time with my sailor, and friends to hang out with. Newportplace.com be sure to have some sort of housing secured a few months b4 arriving cuz things will book up fast cuz summer season is coming soon & prices go up! & bring a light sweater cuz it can get chilly at night! Drop me a message if you have any questions! Best of luck!

BEHIND EVERy SAILOR...

There is a girl.She is always with him in heart & soul. She goes through everything that he goes through. She feels his pain… his sorrow… his joy… his longing… and his devotionFor every minute they are apart, her heart aches… but she smiles. She is a model to other girls. They watch her and wonder… how does she do it? She is the picture of everlasting love & fidelity to her Soldier.. His cause… and their country. She is his rock.. his support… his best friend… and his lover. Her job is the hardest & most painful thing she knows. It is also by far the most rewarding.Their relationship will weather storms… cross miles… and reach indscrible heights. Not because of who they are… but because of the love that they share. A love that is patient.. honest… true.. and kind. A love that transcends the distance. A love that is deeper than any ocean. A love that is more abundant than all the stars in the sky. A love that is perfect in all its flaws Behind every Sailor… there is a girl. And she will always love him.

The Price You Pay for Loving a Sailor
Loving a sailor has a high price to pay.
It's an ache in your heart while he is away.
It's being alone with nothing to hold,
It's being young, yet feeling so old.

It's having him whispering his love to you.
And whispering back that you love him too.
Then comes a kiss and a promise of love,
And knowing that you have been blessed from above.

Then reluctantly, painfully, letting him go.
While your dying inside from wanting him so.
Watching him go, with eyes full of tears.
Standing alone with your hopes, dreams and fears.

It's sending a letter with the stamp upside down,
To a far away love in a far away town.
It's going to church to kneel and pray,
And really meaning the things that you say.

And all the while that he is away,
You just keep on loving him more each day.
That love will bring hope and foster your dreams,
And lift you to Heaven where his love light gleams.

Days go by and there's no mail for a spell,
You wait for some word to hear that he's well.
Then the letter arrives and your given to joy!
You're like a small child with a shiny new toy!

With fingers a-tremble and heart beating fast.
You tear open his letter and read it at last.
Yes! He is well! But he misses you so...
It's filled with the love you've wanted to know.

Weeks are now months, and months are a year.
You wait for the days when you'll have no more fear.
Time passes slowly, yet it's gone very fast,
You're barely aware it is here till it's past.

Yes loving a soldier brings bitterness and fears,
loneliness and sadness, and despondent tears.
Loving a soldier really isn't much fun,
But it's well worth the price when the battle is won.

Remember he's thinking about you every day.
He's sad and he's lonely being so far away.
So love him, and miss him, and hold your head high.
Be strong and have faith, wipe that tear from your eye.

No, he won't be the same when he finally comes home.
He'll be older and wiser than the man that you've known.
But you'll also have changed, being stronger and bolder.
That's the price that you pay for loving a sailor.
