No they will not pay for you to move to an A-school as far as I know. She traveled from Michigan too with me. We just saved as much as we could while they were in bootcamp then came down about a week after graduation. With a hotel you don't have to have a lot of money and it has a kitchenette in it too. They are nice.. Not a bad way to start until you find a place. They are looking now to find a little place, but that is more expensive because then you have to pay all the utilites + rent ya know so me personally I would stay in the hotel.

What about getting married after a-school when my fiancé comes home for his leave? How does that work?

I've lost track, where is his A school, Soon2b?
Basically, while on leave, you just go get married, then when he gets to his command, he adds you to his page two. You may get paid to moved yourself, retroactively, but he'll have to fight for it.
Save every penny you can, and not for a wedding, but for a move and a new place.
If you marry after A school he will NOT have you listed on his orders. That makes moving more difficult, and if he is stationed overseas, including Hawaii, you maybe SOL when it comes to living with him. Overseas is entirely different than stateside orders. That's why so many of the fiances choose a courthoue wedding rather than to wait.
Nukes? If they get leave after A school, that is fine, because you still have tons of time with Power School and Prototype.

if you do end up planning to get married in goose creek you can fill out the marriage license part without him having to leave school early, you just have to go through the berkely county probate office instead of the charleston county office. the berkely county office is sooo much more lenient towards military weddings than charleston county. i believe you can even make an appointment if he ends up having to stay at base past five oclock (the time they close) to fill out the paperwork. are you doing a courthouse wedding or a big ceremony??
