Quesion about marriage and what happens after
Hey ladies :)
My fiancé and I are planning on getting married next month. Right now, he is finishing up sub school and may get liberty for 4th of July, so he'd be able to leave base and travel to Arizona, where we plan to be married.
He has been told that after being married, he should report to a military base in order to receive his benefits, and apply for DEERS and that sort of thing. My question is, would we have to go to a Naval base? There are none in Arizona, but there is an Air force base close to where we plan on marrying.

Just so you know they can't just go more than 300 miles on their liberty, he would have to put in a leave chit to go that far. Also he needs to check with the people in charge of him to see if it is ok for him to get married. As far as doing all the paper work he can do it at another base...but it will be 4th of July weekend, almost all military bases get a 4 day weekend so they won't be open that Thursday until the following Monday. He can do all the paper work once he gets back to the base he is going to school at...the only issue with that is he will need to get you paper work so you can get a military id and suck.

He has filled out a leave chit and so we're waiting to see if that gets approved. As for the paperwork, he says that a friend of his who recently got married was told his wife had to be there to get the paperwork done. Do you know anything about that??

It does need to be leave to travel that far from his base. As Angie said, while he can use any branch's base, however, nothing will be open on any of the bases on 4th of July weekend.
He needs to line up his leave papers now. Check with his command to see if they want him to run a marriage chit, and then find out precisely what he needs in the way of your identification to get you enrolled in DEERS. He can do that when he returns, and you can get your ID at the AF base after that.
Or will he be done with school and have orders and be separated from the sub base entirely? That's a different scenario if he's marrying between school and his first command.
FYI... liberty is normal time off and there's a limit on how far sailors are allowed to go. Sometimes they can get an "out of bounds" chit approved, but usually they need to take leave in order to travel more than 300 miles (sometimes a little more, the actual miles vary). Leave is his paid time off and must be requested in writing. Then he can go anywhere in the US.

He'll still be in school, he has just finished sub school and is going to start A school soon. We have some time before he gets his orders, and hopefully everything works out so that I will be on his orders,

He can do all the paperwork without you because thats what my husband had to do. Its a bit complicated but can be done. The only thing that you need to be together for is getting your military ID inless he gives you POA over him. The only other way to get your ID without him and without POA is they have to scan a certian form into the deers file from the base he is at to the base you need to go to. You can call the base closest to you and they can give you more details on which form and things like that.
