getting married...
hey everybody, My fiance is in san antonio tx A school and we are trying to get married. neither one of us know the first thing about what we are needing to do let alone rules with him being in the navy. Our parents aren't being any help so we are left to figure this out on our own. Does anyone have any advise on what we need to be doing to get everything planned. We are just doing a JP wedding and we are hoping to do it this weekend when I go down to visit. It was a last minute thought that we are trying to make happen.
Thanks <3

Hi, My son did not get married while he served so I am not sure - but I'm almost positive that he cannot get married without "permission" first. He has to put in some sort of paperwork and get it approved. He signed his life over to the military so in essence - they "own" him for a few years.

Be sure that he gets the chit so that he has permission to get married because it will make things much easier for him than if you get married without it. Have you checked to see what it will take to get married in San Antonio? He needs to check to see what else he needs to do. They used to ask during INDOC if there was anyone planning to get married so they could give them some direction as to the timing to do that as well as providing info on other things the Sailor would need to know, but perhaps they don't ask any more. Will he even be in Phase II when you go down? He should be close to that by then though based on when he arrived. Phase III would be better because then he will have overnight Liberty for the weekend, but if you marry before he gets his orders, he may be able to get accompanied orders and that's probably what you are thinking about.

yes the reason we are doing it in texas instead of waiting till he gets home is so I can be on his orders. He has been down there since the begining of February but was on hold till today. he is thinking he wont have any liberty yet. I have looked into what all San antonio requires and as long as he shows his military ID we wont have to wait. Someone told us he had to talk to the chaplin but not sure on that.

Talking to the chaplain is a good idea even if it is not required. He should have Liberty--that's the only way he can leave the base; he may not have overnight Liberty yet since that's part of Phase III and he will be in Phase I or II.
