Anyone know about a new rule forbidding newly married sailors in A school at Great Lakes to live off ship with their wives?  My son filled out all the paperwork and followed all the rules in order to get married during the holidays.  He is now being told that none of the requests for permission to live off ship will be approved because of someone using off ship housing as a party house for underage sailors.  Any suggestions?

So I understand that because they followed the rules and got permission to get married  that he is now classified as married.   Will he get orders allowing his wife to move with him to his next school?

Yes, if the school is long enough.  If it is not long enough, she will be on his orders to his first duty station.

 

Unless they send him somewhere really weird where he can't take a dependent. They try not to do that, but it can happen.

The Navy will see him as married as long as he turned in all the paper work to PSD to get everything updated.  I am guessing he is either an ET or FC, most "C" schools aren't long enough for spouse to move to. 

 

So if he had moved her to GL, than went to VA for "C" School than to CA for his first command.  She would be stuck in GL, until after he finished the "C" School...before the USN would move her to CA.  Does that make sense?

If you are on FB Training Support Center Great Lakes has set up a FB page!  TSC is where everyone going to "A" School in GL is at (with the expection of HM "A" School that is a different command). 

 

Feel free to ask any questions on there.  Maybe you can ask this question on there?  No worries there will be no repercussions on your Sailor by asking questions on there. 

I saw a posting today on the TSC Great Lakes fb page from a young lady asking the same questions about live ashore.  It did look as if the Skipper was looking into why the chits to live ashore are being denied to those Sailors who got married during stand down. 

Angie-I joined the FB TSC page but didnt' know about this:

My husband's PIR is on 3/25 and he's a HM. I've been asking questions on the TSC - FB site. Is there another site I should be directing my questions to?

Hi. Quick question about this...my husband of 7 years is going be in Great Lakes for his AECF A school and I was under the impression that ET's/FC's schooling was long enough for accompanied orders... does this new thing mean that even if his orders are accompanied we can't go? Or he just can't live off base if they deny his live ashore? We have two little boys that miss their daddy and we really want to be a family again sooner rather than later. I would prefer he live with us, but would be okay alone so long as the Navy approves the move... Any answers would be appreciated.

If you were married before boot camp, there should be no problem.  Seems to be only the sailors who married during A school who are encountering difficulties.

if  he is in A school already, being et or fc, then it is already too late to request live ashore. though transfer dates after a school to c school fluctuate there has to be a definite allotted 6 months to request the move and live ashore. a few people i know personally waited too long, in one case a week too long and were denied. the 6 month period is from arrival at TSC great lakes and last through ATT and A school. even in cases like my own where i will be at TSC for over a year, most of it was hold time which is not taken into consideration in the 6 months, if he has finished ATT its already too late.

 

and with the command not allowing live ashore, not true. it might be the barracks discretion on pushing it through up the chain of command, once he recieves his packet back from his sdc's then he should go to his fleets lcpo, all nice men, and request to talk to him about the situation, he will clear up any rumors, he might get asked why he worked his way up the command, and all he needs to say is he was not satisfied with situation and went to his next in command.

Although this rules seems harsh (if it is true) I can see why the Navy has made this change.

My son's  ex room mate was one of those sailors who had a party at his house off base. He and his wife through a big party.  A lot of under age sailors turned up UNIVITED. They got drunk. The sailor got in serious trouble for this. He got demoted, a temporary pay cut and lost liberty privileges for a long time. He was lucky that the Navy gave him a second chance. Unfortunately: his Marriage ended in DIVORCE because of this. 

I think this is a good rule. Not that I think your sailor can't be trusted but you can't trust other sailors on base.

Sorry, I meant off ship, not off base at GL
Good news from my sailor last night!  The LPO at his ship told him to resubmit his live ashore chit and the COC approved it.
