US Navy Gives OK for On-Base Same-Sex Marriages
It would appear the Navy has decided to let same-sex couples in the Navy, get married in Navy chapels that are located on bases in state where where same-sex marriage is legal, and will allow Navy chaplains to perform those ceremonies.

The changes came in the form of an April 13 advisory memo issued to all chaplains which said the Chaplain Corps was revising its Tier I DADT Repeal training manuals, which had previously indicated that same-sex marriages are not authorized on federal property.

Citing “additional legal review” by Navy attorneys, the Chief of Navy Chaplains, Admiral Michael Tidd said the Navy “has concluded that, generally speaking, base facility use is sexual orientation neutral.”
