Navy Girlfriend.. Soon to be Fiancé
HI everyone!
My boyfriend is currently at boot camp but before leaving we talked about getting married frequently. We wanted to wait to see how liked the Navy life and so far from what I've read, he loves it. That leaves me to planning my future with him and moving as soon as possible. What I am wondering is when is the best time to get married? My boyfriend will graduate boot camp in January and from there will attend A school in Charleston, SC. for a year then will be in Groton, CT. a year as well. When we get married, what is usually the time frame of moving a spouse on base? I've heard different things so i just want to clarify.
Any other information I might need to know is always helpful, thank you for taking the time and answering my questions. (:

At first his recruiter told us he would be in SC for both years then 3 days before my boyfriend left for boot camp he was told he'd be going to CT for one of those years... But his recruiter wasn't always content and my boyfriend's ship date got moved 3 times so I'll take what your saying over him Because of my boyfriends and I's experiences

Okay then I'll probably end up doing that.:) My boyfriend wants to come home around spring break but doesn't know if that's possible. And we can do the ceremony then and once I finish my semester of school I can move with him during the summer if there's available housing and whatnot. Thank you so much(:

If he can't take leave, and he has to be between schools to do so, then consider flying out to him to do the courthouse marriage, then have a nice ceremony with family when you know he can come home.
Never touch that HOR move... I didn't know it could be used optionally, but how bad would it be if he got orders far away from where he wants to eventually separate? Places such as Guam? In my opinion, that is the worst idea ever.

You're right. So when it comes time and he has the opportunity for the HOR move, don't take it? What does that unlitmately do? Make his permernamt residency in for example Guam?... Sorry trying to clarify. And yeah if he can not get leave I'll probably fly out then for Christmas do the family ceremony(:

The HOR move is what he needs when his time in the Navy is up and he is discharged...he NEEDS that move to go where he wants to be as a civilian. Say he was stationed anywhere far from home, and it is time to get out of the Navy after that tour. How would he move back home? Or to wherever he wanted to live after the Navy? What of he had a wife (you) and kids and a whole house fill of furniture when he was discharged? How would he get everyone and everything where it needed to be? By using his HOR move. You absolutely do not know where he will get orders to, so using the HOR move is very risky.
There is always that last move when he gets out of the Navy. You have to think very far ahead to see why some people (like me) would think using the HOR move for anything but separation is unwise.
Once he is married, he should get an accompanied move with every set of orders, unless he goes where dependents cannot (schools, isolated duty). Orders are issued as accompanied or unaccompanied. HIs orders to nuke school are unaccompanied because he was single when they were cut. The Navy won't change them, usually. After you marry, given enough time for the detailer to see the changes, his next set of orders will be accompanied, and you get your move paid for.
