I married my husband when I was fresh out of the Marine Corps. The ink wasn’t even dry on my DD214 when we exchanged rings, and within a week of the “I Do’s,” he was deployed. An active duty Marine assigned to a grunt battalion with one combat deployment under his belt, he was still practically a baby when we got married. We got married on a Saturday and on Monday, we went in to get me registered in his DEERS (Defense Eligibility Enrollment Reporting System). Two days married and we hit our first snag with military paperwork.
