Welcome everyone! = )
I just found this and thought it was cute...
My sailor.Submariner
I love My Sailor so deeply and true
He is my Husband, my Friend and a Daddy too
He chose his fate when signed that line
To become a Submariner and serve his time
As the Submarine is prepped and the workday ends
He comes home to tell me, "It is that time again"
The night before "The Boat" gets underway
We prepare ourselves for that dreaded day
He Packs his sea bag so snug and tight
For it will be time to leave at dawn's early light
With his sea bag across his shoulder
and the tears in his eyes we know it is time for all the goodbyes
My Sailor and his crew are running silent and deep
Protecting our freedom while awake or asleep
For the beautiful flag flies freely in the wind
My sailor will proudly salute it until the very end

If he gets orders to GA before you are married the Navy will not pay for anything. You can move with him but at your own expense. For the Navy to pay you would have to wait till he finishes school. Now if you get married before his orders are written to Ga you will be able to move with him on the Navy's dime as long as the school is long enough. DH school was long enough to move us. He was 10 months. As long as you are married you can live in base housing anywhere. Leases start at 6 months usually.

hey ladies!
I'm sure this question has been asked 1,000 times, but I'm a little unclear on how this all works. My fiancee and I are getting married next month while he is finishing up sub school in Groton. After he's done in Groton he'll be heading to Georgia to finish up A school. Is it possible for me to live either on or off base with him while he is in school? Or do we have to wait until he finishes school?
Any help is so much appreciated! :)
