<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Once you have the marriage license you will need to both submit your documentation to ensure everything is in the system. <br /><br />Outside of that I am not sure what else you are wanting to know.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>As soon as you have that offial marriage license, find out where the nearest base is and have her make an appointment with personnel. Otherwise you won&#39;t get any motivations while she is away, you won&#39;t be her next of kin.<br />Also both of you check out the Red Cross Hero care app

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Take your official state or county marriage certificate to the nearest military installation and get your new spouse entered into DEERS as a dependent. Assuming you&#39;re Active Duty, having a dependent may change your status with reference to living in the barracks, drawing BAH and separate rations. When Mrs Keeling checks in for Basic Training, she&#39;ll need to update her marital status with the Army (again the marriage certificate would be good to have). The Army will sort out whom receives BAH between the two of you. Mutual spouse assignments will be a challenge, but after Mrs Keeling completes Basic and AIT she may be able to be assigned near you or at the same installation.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Don&#39;t get advice on RallyPoint about normal administrative matters. See your unit PersO and the Unit Chaplain. Helping you, with this, is what they get paid to do.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>This is not me trying to be rude - but did you talk to your first line supervisor/squad leader/section NCOIC or PSG before you came on here?
