Marriage after bootcamp or A school?
We were hoping to get married PIR weekend but I was told that isn't allowed.. Could he send in a request during bootcamp? If not, how do we go about it while he's in school? I believe his school will be in GL also where he's at now for bootcamp.

Hello! My husband and I got married PIR weekend. It's not something that they like them to do, we may have just gotten really lucky, but he can get permission from his new a school when he checks in and it can be done. Good luck! :)

I figure it'd be better to do it while he's in school so we aren't spending the whole weekend trying to figure it all out and be rushed, but idk yet. I have to wait and talk to him but thank you (:

If you're still around on here, I would love to know how this worked out for you. It seems that a lot of information elsewhere is either out of date or focusing on the negatives of getting married before he's done with A school. By the time I got back from studying abroad, my fiancé was nearing his ship date, so we decided to wait because we were convinced it would push his ship date back and we knew his A school was in GL, so we would have time that weekend. Now that weekend is one of few we can align because I've already been planning for the time to go see him graduate, and I can't afford to make multiple trips to see him graduate, wait for the chit to and go back to get married, and drive out there to live from the Pacific Northwest. Of course, I will make every effort, but we are wondering what would really happen if we did it that weekend without the chit or classes. Did it hurt your husband's performance or interrupt his benefits? We are not so concerned about the BAH and medical because I have a decent set up in Oregon right now. We are more worried about some of the horror stories we've heard of suspended or interrupted benefits for the sailor, a negative impact on his evals, loss of liberty, etc. all just for not following rules that are not even clear because he is at RTC. I am assuming that you guys did not get a chit because people say it takes sometimes a couple weeks to process, so how did you get permission?
