The number is the battalion that he will be going to after 40 is decommissioned, his commanding office should be able to tell him where he is going. They're just new orders like the ones he received when he found out he was joining 40. Also, I am in base housing out here in Hueneme and I love it. It's nice to have people close, I know people who do live on base in Camarillo. Camarillo is newer houses and they do not allow pets in the houses on base in Camarillo, that is the only reason we are in Hueneme. Honestly classes, from what many have told me, don't help it's always easier to speak to someone who has gone through it before and I went through it on their last deployment, while they were in Afghanistan. It is a difficult adjustment but there are things that you can do to help, like for me I have a body pillow or I sleep on the couch to feel like someone is next to me. Also, a POA is vital especially if you choose to move onto base out here while he is on deployment. It is just saying that you do have the right to make decisions in his name, if need be like signing a lease for a house on base. Also, it helps with pretty much everything from trying to fix things like a mistake on a bank account if it is only under his name. Little things that arise while he is on deployment.
My husband left about 3 weeks ago for Japan. He is out there working right now and will be having surgery here sometime soon. After 40 is decommissioned he will be going to 5 so we will be staying here in Hueneme, thankfully because I hate moving. We currently do not have children just dogs. My husband and I are both from Minnesota, and I've been out here since the beginning of July. Surprisingly it was an easy adjustment. My husband is a CM and has been in for 3 years this January.
From my understanding is 40 has been decommission before in the past. All they are doing is spreading the men and women that are currently in 40 out among the battalions that are still active or letting some go who are near the end of their contract with the Navy. The hardest thing about deployment is the time difference and being able to talk. My husband is 17 hours ahead of me so when it's 5pm for him its 12am for me. Things that you adjust to rather quickly. I have become a light sleeper while he is on deployment hoping to hear from him. As questions arise feel free to ask. I'm better at answering questions then trying to think of all the things to inform you of.
Feel free to private message me about 40 if you would like. Pretty much all of my friends out here in Hueneme are in 40 right now and I've gotten most of the stuff down now. I understand how 40 works now.
Devon,
What div. is your husband in? My SR is in 925 and will be heading to Dam Neck on Sat. also, she has grad. on fri. as well.
