He will choose to have the military come pack you up or they give you X amount of $ for you to move your own stuff (if you move it save all receipts) they will not ship your car.</p>
<p>Thanks the basics. It may have changed a little but probably not too much. I loved GL, its what you make of it. I was able to make some good friends of the wives my husband went to school with and I'm sure some of them will be life long friends. Get on FB and check out the military great lakes pages and the military housing community is forestal, you can spy on what the houses look like...</p> my husband was in GL exactly…tag:navyformoms.ning.com,2016-02-05:1971797:Comment:93358962016-02-05T14:37:30.788ZRebeccaProudWifehttps://navyformoms.ning.com/profile/ohwell

Just curious if there are any new wives at Great Lakes. My husband is boot camp right now and I will be joining him there after for his A school training. Are there any tips for moving and the whole process? Hoping there is someone else who has recently done this! :)

<p>Start throwing away, selling, donating stuff you don't need, now. Do not put it off. Talk to him abut his things before he leaves, can he thin his stuff out?</p>
<p>Prepare a personal information "hand carry" file. Birth certificates, marriage license, SSN, banking, medical, power of attorney, copies of his Navy paperwork and orders, anything you may need instantly. Make it portable.</p>
<p>Begin taking photos of valuables, and making a personal inventory with serial numbers. Never let packers touch your jewelry or small electronics.</p>
<p>Get your vehicle ready. Make sure your insurance has roadside coverage or get Triple A. Have a basic "kit" ready in the car, flashlight, tools, blanket, water, snacks. Navy does not ship cars in the US.</p>
<p>Plan on how to move your kid, what they will need in the car, when you arrive, and so on. </p>
<p>That is just a few things ... moving is complicated, but tens of thousands of military spouses do it, so it isn't impossible.</p> Thanks, youre awesome :) You…tag:navyformoms.ning.com,2015-05-12:1971797:Comment:90499202015-05-12T11:59:58.619Zadwinehttps://navyformoms.ning.com/profile/Amber292

<p>ATT is Apprentice Technical Training, roughly nine weeks long, and is like the prep school for A school (several different ratings use it). Yes, there is often a hold old before beginning that, and then they hold for A school. Holds vary enough I cannot give you a timeline. </p>

<p>ATT is Apprentice Technical Training, roughly nine weeks long, and is like the prep school for A school (several different ratings use it). Yes, there is often a hold old before beginning that, and then they hold for A school. Holds vary enough I cannot give you a timeline. </p>
<p>The good news is he can submit his Live Ashore packet when he reaches Phase Two of liberty, whether he is on hold, in ATT or in A school as he will be under the same chain of command the entire time. And you can move there before the packet is complete, he just has to arrange your move once he gets out of boot camp. They will help him do that, even if he is in phase one. That way he can still spend some liberty time with you when possible, and you can set up a home quicker. </p>
<p>Here are the liberty phases. Two takes about a month. </p>

<p>Thanks for your help Anti M! I understand that he has to apply for Live Ashore which from what I've read on these posts can take anywhere from a couple weeks to a couple months... is this a couple of weeks/months from the time he officially starts A school or from the time his basic training ends? My next question is, what is this ATT I hear people talking about before A school? And I see there may be a wait time before he starts?

<p>Thanks for your help Anti M! I understand that he has to apply for Live Ashore which from what I've read on these posts can take anywhere from a couple weeks to a couple months... is this a couple of weeks/months from the time he officially starts A school or from the time his basic training ends? My next question is, what is this ATT I hear people talking about before A school? And I see there may be a wait time before he starts? How long could this wait time be before he starts A school or before ATT? Or do you complete the ATT part during the waiting period of starting A school? I'm sorry for all the questions... I'm just trying to prepare myself for the reality of how long it may take before we can be living together as a family again.</p>
