Hello all,
I am headed to OCS within the month and I have also asked my girlfriend to marry me! Lots of big changes in the coming months.
My fiancé and I are trying to get the wedding date nailed down and I am curious if we shouldn't hold off major decisions at least until I get out of OCS and the future is a bit more clear.
Any suggestions?
The date we are currently looking at would be right in the middle of primary training, so I was hoping someone could shed some insight on taking time off during primary. Is your training just put on hold? or are you literally falling further and further behind each day you take off?
Any insight on this situations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
I got married during Advanced a few days before Christmas. We set this date banking on Christmas leave in the squadron. We were able to get married and go to Paris for a week. If you want to increase your odds of having a comfortable marriage timeframe and/or honeymoon, I'd say your best odds are during Christmas. There is no other chunk of nearly guaranteed leave in the training squadrons that I can think of.
EDIT: That said, my leave was approved less than a month out from the flights, so you can imagine what I paid for the tickets and how nervous we were.
