As we have indicated before, his orders are based on the needs of the Navy. Since you are not yet married he has unaccompanied orders to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (GTMO) and that most likely is an 18 month tour. Since his orders are in process, getting married sooner is most likely not going to change that. He is the one who needs to be speaking with his command and finding out what options he has and if those will change if you were to go down to San Antonio and get married soon. If you were to move to GTMO, you would have to pay for the move yourself--if you were even able to do it because there are a lots of things that would need to be done for that to happen. (There is more on GTMO at http://www.cnic.navy.mil/guantanamo/About/Command/WelcomeAboard/ind... and the group, Guantanamo Bay Moms - GTMO, may be helpful.)

He must be an E-4 or above to take a dependent overseas. Dependents must be command sponsored in order to receive housing, overseas allowances such as OHA and COLA, and in order to use base facilities. Most important, command sponsorship provides the proper resident visa, which allows you to be there for a longer period than a tourist visa, and allows you to work on base. His new command is the only one which can grant command sponsorship, the training command can do nothing.

Read the info on the base 18 mos. or 30 mos. accompanied. Might be better to just go visit unless you enjoy being on an island.
