What does the waiver state? Read it real good before both of you sign it. My son is also thinking about marriage after boot camp so I would be curious as to what it says.

You might want to join your PIR group.
PIR: August 19, 2011 TG 40 - 7 Divisions (263–268 & 940)
I know you miss each other but what is the hurry? Let him and yourself get adjusted to Navy life first. You are going to be following him for many years to come. Enjoy this time with your family at home. Plan things out. So you can take advantage of all that his career in the Navy can offer.
Good luck.

My fiancé and I are trying to get married after bootcamp too. We had originally set the date for January, but I'm graduating from college in December and between school and work, we had to move the date up. I know he has to get permission, but do you have any idea what that consists of, who has to grant the permission, how long it takes, etc??? I've been trying to research and have come across several different answers, so any information would be helpful!! Good luck and congrats to you!!

Brookie - I run a NavyDEP website and was wondering if you have thought out everything. Most civilians don't understand the "Needs of the Navy", and don't understand the rules. I have a member on my website that was not able to live with his wife for 3 years. He had orders to Japan, and E3 and below are not allowed to bring dependants with them.
So, if you think your marriage can hack being separated for 3 years (except for an occasional 1 week vacation every 6 months, then go for it. But I truly recommend you talk to someone that has been in that position. His name is Logicalchaos, and he's on NavyDEP.com
Beleive me, I'm not trying to scare you, but I want you to fully understand that you could be put in a position of not seeing him for a really long time. Here is the rules:
http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/reference/milpersman/1000/130...
Read para 1b, which says:
b. Members in paygrades E-3 and below with family member(s), will not be assigned to accompanied tours in an overseas area, including Hawaii. Members may be assigned to unaccompanied tours, based on readiness needs. Additionally, members in paygrades E-3 and below who are pregnant will not be assigned in an overseas area, including Hawaii.2.

I've heard of waivers from Lake County for the military so you don't have to wait the 24 hours, but I'd not heard that they charged a fee for them.

My fiancé and I have thought about it, alot. There is a wavier we can apply for it costs around $250. I have wanted to go into the military since I was 9 so I do understand and I do know everything works. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I turned 18, it crushed my dreams. Adam, my fiancé, and I have been best friends since we were 8 years old. He followed me and decided to join. We were going to go in together till I was in the hospital and I told him to go for it :) we have been dating a year now and life couldn't be better right now. I love him with all my heart and this makes him happy. We can last a lifetime. Apart or together. Getting married just keeps us together. We are willing to take and accept the risks that follow. :)
