My son texted tonight that it looks like his written orders will come in Monday or Tuesday of next week, so he will be out by the end of the week. By then, he will have been waiting 3 weeks since he graduated! Oh boy...

i was just reading that online; doesn't sound like that is going to work for us either then. We already have everything planned for the 8th of May (pending him getting her on time, which looks like he will). So I suppose we will just stick with the plan - the other won't work with the time available. I hope to have better news later today if he gets to talk to his chief. I've been looking at the map of where Hawaii is compared to me - so far! Keep your fingers crossed for me ladies.

sschick - wowwwwwwww how long does he have left? MS requires a blood test for Syphillis in which results take up to 2 weeks! that's standard.. then you apply for your license and they have a 3 day waiting period. they don't waive it for military unfortunately. also they are only open on weekdays... it was so stressful trying to get all of it together and just to find out that my fiancee will be done in 2 weeks so there was no point anymore! We're just going to wait till he comes home for his leave.

He is SH. I called and talked to his recruiting Chief today; he said to have him talk to his Chief there and let him know the situation and that orders can be modified - just have to check. He also said that it might help things along if we were to get married while he is still in A School - so I am waiting to talk to him later today and could possibly be making a fast drive to Meridian this week. I need to find out what the requirements are for a marriage license in MS and are the JOP available there on Saturdays? Do you need an appointment? Only weekdays? I guess I will get started looking - or does anyone know anything about that?
Kae - did you say one time that you and your fiancee are planning on getting married during A School?

sschick, im sorry hope everything works out for you. My fiancee just got verbal orders too to WA. I guess I shouldn't complain. Well I'm not, I guess i just have to get used to rainy weather.
Does anyone if spouses can apply at Naval Hospitals and how to go about it? Im a nurse and I just want to make sure I have a job when we get to WA. Thanks!
