We're getting married in 9 days!
I'm flying to Pensacola, FL on March 1st in the morning & that afternoon my fiance and I will be husband and wife! (February 29th is our 4 year anniversary! What better way to spend it then getting married the next day?!) We've got the plane ticket, the hotels are booked & everything is squared away.
But, what about after we're married? I know I need to leave him my social security card, a copy of my drivers license, but anything else? Birth certificate, maybe?
How fast does the medical insurance kick in? What about BAH?
Any more information from fellow Navy Wives is appreciated! :)
Casey!

Call PSD and ask them what is required ....
http://www.cnic.navy.mil/pensacola/InstallationGuide/PersonnelSuppo...
On the Monday after, he goes to PSD with the marriage certificate (order extra certified copies when you marry) and enrolls you in DEERS, gets you on his page two, and usually he enrolls you in Tricare at the same time. Your ID card will be your medical insurance card, and memorize his SSN, yours won't matter much anymore. If you aren't there, he will send a signed DD Form 1172 for to you, which you take to the nearest military facility to get your ID card. He should NOT put off going to PSD, the sooner he gets this done, the sooner the benefits are available to you.
BAH can take a few pay cycles to kick in.

On top of what Anti M said if you are staying a few days after then you can help expedite the process a little. If you are changing your last name go to the social security office in PCola and get it changed they will give you a reciept to show that you are doing so. You will need your dl and your marriage certificate I think for this. Then you can go with him to PSD and take all your papers. I took everything my BC, DL, Marriage cert, ss card, and then the reciept (not all of them will change your last name just bc you got married!!) You can then get a picture taken, get an id, and then go down to the tricare service center at the hospital. you have to have your sailor to go to PSD but Idk about the tricare service center. then he will need that stuff to get you on his page two but once you have your id you are in deers. :) we got our bah really quickly but like Anti M also said it can take awhile. I also got married down in Pcola! I went on spring break and we got almost everything taken care of when I was there. it was so much easier that way.
