Hi everyone,
So me and my boyfriend(who is in dive school right now) planned on getting married next month before he graduates and heads to EOD school(He will be there for 46 weeks). However, this was before he was able to talk to his chiefs and know what he can and cannot do. Here is what he was told: if we were to get married, he would probably have to go back in time and redo his schooling, because he would no longer be an independent? I do not think this makes any sense, because I have heard of people getting married during school and it not being a problem. Maybe it is different for special warfare? I don't know. Any thoughts, advice, and/or help with this would be greatly appreciated. I am just completely lost.
Another part to this story..
Since I have been wanting to move to FL for some time, I am still looking for apartments around the Eglin Airforce base. I am 19 in college, but plan on doing my last 2 years online. I am ok with living on my own, but just wondering if any of you/someone you know are in the same boat as me, are doing the same thing & looking for a roommate? or can just guide me in the right direction.
Again, any advice and/or help is greatly appreciated.

Legally, the Navy cannot forbid any marriage which is legal in the US. He should route a special request chit and then his chief must approve or deny it IN WRITING. If they deny it, they have to show him the regulation saying he has to fall back IN WRITING. They are just bullshitting him because he is in a hard field, and they want him concentrating on his training, not on a new marriage. If it is different for SW, then it will be in a regulation. I bet it is not. He must ask to see the specific Navy regulation.

As far as I know it is not true HOWEVER ... that is why I am saying HE should get it in writing, or it is not true. I do not have access to the policies of the training command, he does.

That sounds like BS. My boyfriend was once in a SW program and that wasn't the case. A couple guys that were with him got married during "school" and it was fine. They don't like girlfriends and wives when the guys are going through that, but they can't tell you not to get married. I also wanted to tell you that I am living in an apartment by myself near my boyfriend's base while he is in school. It can be done! He comes over on the weekends and about once during the week if he can and it is working well for us. A lot of ladies (especially moms) on here advise against it but I did it just fine. Feel free to add and message me if you want to talk more!
