He is correct they will have everything you need their. You will  still require a visitors pass and extra Identification. Just call the base ahead of time and they will tell you what you need to bring and where you need to go, you can also set up your health care as well (i was able to set everything up on the same day.

Yay! Let me know what you find out @TGodfrey12. I think we will be joining him as well. I'm excited to move, sounds crazy I know but we have lots of fun adventures ahead!
@kmagill did he take his birth certificate? your son should be on from day 1. All you have to do is give your husbands Ssn for proof and they can run it. We are having issues with paperwork, marriage certificate, so I'm not in yet and it's been 2 weeksish. The first time I called they said the kids where not on they, but I called today and they are. They might still be processing it, but your son should be on there if his birth certificate was good. I would call back saying he needs to be seen and your double checking to make sure he's not there. The lady had to look closer today.... You can also call deers and have them send you a letter saying the kids are covered, I did, just incase. Just pick somewhere tricare and give hubs Ssn and your set.

Hey everyone! I just wanted to share some good news and ask a few questions.
GOOD NEWS: My daughter and I are accompanying my husband to A school once he is done with Boot Camp! He found out a couple of weeks ago that his A School (I.T in Pensacola) is going to be 23 weeks. 
QUESTION: I've looked into off base housing for Corry Station (NTTC) and I have not been able to find any apartments. We would rather an apartment since we will not be living down there for very long (5-6 months max). If we have the Navy move us, will they move us to our first duty station, or would it be a better to move ourselves? Will he be able to get leave to help us move down? We're about 5-6 hours away from there. Any advice on this would be great thanks!!

Thank you Abby! I just called the 800 # for DEERS and we are not listed so I wrote my hubby a letter, hopefully we can get added easily!

I got my DEERS packet after he was there 3 weeks, but you and your son were covered as soon as he got to boot camp, you just don't have your ID card and are completely in the system yet. If you guys needed to go before you get the packet and your ID card made, you can just give them his SSN and they can look it up. Tricare either covers at that point or it will retroactively once you get the paperwork squared away (I can't remember).

Oops *birth cert*

Thanks for the info and yeah the recruiter had a copy of our marriage certain, birth Crete, ssn cards etc. All I received in the form letter was the PIR info.... I am writing every day but I don't want to stress him out having to worry about benefits for us while he is going through everything else!

With the gov't shutdown, a lot of those offices have been closed though, so you may have to wait until they reopen to enroll.

I'm sure one of the more experienced people will chime in, but they should go over all of that with them. I got the papers for my ID card (which is basically the DEERS ID card also) and our dental form (signed already by my husband, but I had to fill out the rest and sign us up)- I got all of those papers with my "form letter," if I'm remembering correctly. But, to answer your question, they should tell him that you guys are eligible. I have no idea why his recruiter would tell you you're not if you're married? Even if they didn't have you in the system yet and they sent him with all of your forms of ID so he could put you in the system, that would make you eligible.
