Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

You can get on his orders later and be able to live with him. The ONLY difference is the Navy will pay for it and he has a lesser chance of getting orders overseas if he is listed as married. I know that is really important.. it is with me too. But, for you, I think a small ceremony is your best bet.

If you are really set on a big wedding where you guys are from, then your best bet is to just wait until he is done with A School and gets leave to come home before his Duty Station. You won't be on his orders right away but I believe he can update them to get you on. It might take a little while, but that way you would get your big wedding.

Thats another problem, there is no way to really know when it will be. Even if you know his A school is only 6 weeks for example, he still my be on hold after he graduates school for an unknown amount of time. I knew two guys who graduated a week apart, one got his orders right away and a week after he graduated he was able to go home on leave and then go straight to his duty station. The other guy graduated and was on hold for a month before he got his orders and was able to come home.
Thats the thing with the Navy, they don't like to tell you a lot of stuff ahead of time, and when they do its not always set in stone! They can change things whenever they want!

Yeah, it sucks. =[ I'm the type of person that likes to plan everything out wayyy in advance, and always have a plan so this military life where I never know anything and can't make plans is taking some getting used to! It will get easier though. Once they are done with school and at their duty station everything should be a little easier.
When does he graduate bootcamp?
