Questions about getting married
Hi there - my boyfriend and I have recently decided to look into the steps of getting married and we are not quite sure where to even start. Currently he's in A school and will be finishing up in the next couple months. I've heard that some bases require permission (per say) to get married but I'm not sure if this applies or is really true. Can I get some help? Currently he's stationed in Illinois so I'm wondering if I go visit him that we can go to the courthouse and then file other paperwork during the week? Not sure where to start so if anyone could point me in the right direction, that would be awesome!

He needs to check with his sponsor to see what the appropriate steps are for his command. There are several discussions on getting married while in "A" School within Girlfriends, Fiances, and Wives of Sailors. There are probably also discussions within the GL groups.

In A school at Great Lakes, he must put in a special request chit asking to marry. This doesn't mean they say no, it is to screen for fraudulent marriages, and for the opportunity to send him to a class or counseling beforehand. That is so he gets information on benefits and allowances, and his responsibilities of having a dependent. Takes a week or two to process the chit. He also needs the time for a counseling session if required, not always mandatory.
Then you goto Great Lakes, get the license from Lake County clerk, marry the next day. If he is in phase three of liberty, he can spend the night with you if it is the weekend.
Google Lake County marriage licenses for location and times.
In general, every training command requires the request chit, as well as OCONUS commands. Stateside, in the fleet, only if the potential spouse is underage or a foreign national.
