New navy wife
My son has married a beautiful women, she is one of my best friends. We is in California and he is in Virginia. They are getting housing on Aug 2nd but the Navy won't move them since they got married after his A school but after he had orders to the Ike. This is a very young couple with a few pieces of furniture and very little money. I am in no position to help other then to drive with her cross country. Does anyone have any suggestion. Does anyone know someone heading there from California who might have room for a couple of pieces of furniture? I was a Navy wife and a Navy mother (his brother) but I am at a loss.
Thank you
Renee

Unless the furniture is priceless family heirlooms, sell it. They can always get more furniture cheaper than shipping it.

I hear you, I think maybe she just needs to have something that is hers there with her.
Thank you

I was raised in the Navy, plus joined myself and married Navy, so I understand from the bottom of my heart. Sometimes the choices are quite hard.

My other son, the one that had been in the Navy, reminded us that the current son and wife can use the Navy to move my son's belongings to his first duty station. As little as they have this should do.
Thanks for all the help. This rocks.

Well.... maybe. They will not move her on his orders which were issued as unaccompanied, and if too much time has passed (I no longer recall the limits), then they won't move his things wither. He should talk to PPO immediately and find out what he is eligible for in the way of moving household goods.

We are on the phone working on it right now. He arrived at his duty station in June of this year so they will not have a problem.
Thanks again.

He needs to let his Chief know that they have nothing. This is not a time for pride to stand in the way of him getting his wife settled. IF that Chief is worth anything s/he will help out and get him to where he needs to go to get stuff for the house. We had a young family who lost everything (one of my staff) and we (Chief's mess) up here got everything they needed for the family.

Seems to think his command doesn't like him. he likes things NOW and the Navy doesn't work that way. We have hooked up with freecycle in Norfolk and also craigslist. I think we will have enough to get them going with this move. As a Navy wife I often helped out other people, and I sure hope that is the way of the Navy/military neighbors. I was a wife from 1980 - 1995ish, and things were different. Not internet, housing we had was pretty rough compared to what they are getting. I am very excited for them and feel blessed that they want me to hlep them get settled and set up. But I have a departure date also and plan to keep it.
