There are others who will have more info on that than I do. My Sailor is still single, but I do know that he will have to put in a chit to do that and get permission from his "A" School command. Usually during INDOC, they ask if there is anyone who is planning to marry and will give them some guidance. CS "A" School is pretty short, so he needs to get his chit in soon. He is also probably wanting to get married before he gets his orders because he wants accompanied orders. Some commands require classes before the marriage and this is not one of those times when he should just do it and then ak forgiveness. Getting married without the chit can be seen as fraud and he doesn't want that this early inn his career.
I think many of them are down. They've been sick or had wisdom teeth extracted and all get in trouble for what one or two do in their unit. That is understandable and goes to feeling responsibility for a team. It will build leadership skills in the future but it hurts in the short term. I just want your son and mine to pass all their tests and graduate and then move on to A school. I hope your son can move from culinary specialist to chaplain and he will need more education for that. My son has a bachelors and is becoming a linguist.
New to this site. My son is on ship 13, div 034. Glad to be your friend! Renee
