Question
My Fiance is statioined in Groton Ct for his A school. He will be there for about 14 months, we dont want to wait that long to get married so we are thinking about getting married in November. Are we even allowed to get married while he is in school and if so will I be able to move up there with him after we get married? How hard will it be for us to get housing if I am allowed to go up there?
Ashley:
You'll have to check with the navy to see if he can have dependents with him in A school. Most of the time this isn't allowed or is frowned upon. It will be difficult to get housing. I'd advise waiting, but also have him check with his chain of command to see what they say. Always a good first step.

Expertise
Questions relating to US Marine Corps; rank, awards, uniforms, career choices. I can also help people spot and expose fakes (people pretending to be Marines or have awards they didn`t earn). Considering the Marines as a career? Or another branch, like the Air National Guard? Drop me a line. HOWever..know that I am NOT a recruiter. I can offer my expert opinion and advice, but can't (and won't) over rule what a recruiter says, they are the 'on duty' expert.
