Hopeully he took the right paperwork back with him. He has to go to PSD with the marriage certificate, your birth certificate and SSN. He puts you on his page two, adds you to DEERS and enrolls you in Tricare (all at the same time), plus applies for BAH for you. His responsibility on those, not yours. He should send you a completed and signed form DD 1173, which you can take to any military facility and get an ID card. That card is also your medical insurance card for Tricare.
congrats... and memorize his SSN, you'll need it often, moreso than your own.

He might not have known, being newly married himself! Ask him as soon as you can if he's gone to PSD/personnel to add you to his page two. They will tell him what he needs. Some guys are afraid to ask for personal time to go get this done, but HE must do it, you can't. LOL, your first job as a new wife is to get his butt in gear. It is important, after all.
DOCUMENTS NEEDED TO ADD SPOUSE
1. Marriage Certificate w/seal
2. Social Security card (or documentation for Social Security Office that she hasapplied for new card with new name, or on drivers license)
3. State driver’s license or Birth certificate (to verify birth date)

I wouldn't mail those items to the base, as you will be sending orginals and what happens if they get lost? I would ask your husband if he has a friend who lives out in town and you can use that address and send it certified. What happens if your SS card gets lost? in the mail with your Birth certificate (orginial)? Yea...that is just asking for someone to take your ID.
You might want to take a trip to see him with all that info so you can just go in and do it together as you also need an ID card which you have to get with him (or with certain paper work that he mails you)

I probably could mail it to his friends place ........ And I haven't gotten any paper work yet in the mail. O know he went to PSD when he got there cuz its a new base for him but I'm just unsure wat I got all signed up for n not signed up for ....u know ......

If he doesn't have the marriage license, etc, he can't add you as a dependent. Until that happens, he can't put you on DEERS or Tricare, or apply for BAH. The faster the better, because it is money in your pockets.

Yea he has a copy of our marriage licenses and he just got paid n said he got some BAH already and he said he signed me up for tricare I just hav to make sure he did

Hey ok well yea I don't think he could put me on anything but I hav a question. Is there a time limit on when he can add me fir everything lk deer n stuff??????? I was gunna make a trip up there but idk when I will b able to go up there cuz of his schedule. And I'm not goin up there for about another year so when should he apply for housing?????? And is base housing furnished housing or no????????

He needs to get you on DEERS as soon as possible. He can get housing money for you even if you aren't living there. You need your military ID as soon as possible so you can get medical insurance, I promise whatever you have now sucks in comparison. He can get Family Separation Pt when the ship deploys.
DO NOT WAIT, get your paperwork to him somehow, and have him get you into his record in DEERS, and an ID card in your hand. You aren't even the beneficiary to his life insurance until he gets that done!
Housing is not furnished. You'll have to move yourself if you wait that long. He should talk to housing NOW, see how long the wait list is and when his window to sign up is.
