new Sailor Mom question
Hi, I am new here. With my son 2 weeks into Boot camp. Can anyone help with a couple of questions. Is he allowed to recieve a phone card in the mail while at boot camp?
Also what are the restrictions on a live in girlfriend when he is on base? Is this allowed? Is he allowed to live off base with her? Or do we need a quick wedding?
Thanks
Nancy

Hi ,
thank you and can you explain the 6 months of school? I assume that has nothing to do with his 4 years of college. I know very little about the process, because I got the whole "I am handling it Mom".They would be getting married in the future anyway. So earlier won't make a difference. Just save alot of stress on planning the wedding. We already have a wedding dress. Thank you so much

A schools vary in length. If the school is under six months, he will not get permission to love offbase with her (if married). He can marry, he just can't move off base. For the longer schools, once he is married, he can request to live offbase by submitting a Live Ashore packet. If he falls behind in school or has any disciplinary problems, or is late to school, they can make him move back on base.
They are instructed not to marry graduation weekend. A month or two into school is the usual time, a courthouse wedding where he is, as he cannot get time off to come home for a wedding. If they are marrying, they do want to get it done before he finishes A school, or she will not be included on his next set of orders. Having your dependent on the orders is how the Navy pays for their transportation and household goods move. They will not pay to move her to his school location, they weren't married before boot camp.
