Tricia - Is your husband going Green side or is going to stay Blue ? If you have already stated this I must have missed it... I honestly don't remember how long after my son finished FMTB he was deployed.. I just remember it was a few months... Everyone is different and they go when their boss tells them too... Not even a mother has a say in it.. : )

I doubt that he would deploy that fast. The reason my husband did was because of what was going on in Liba at the time and they had a rapid deployment to leave 4 months early. That is the only reason. The thing is at some point you are going to have to be alone because he will deploy. That is why it is good to move down, get familiar with the area, make friends so when he does leave for deployment you wont feel completly alone.

FMTB is hard training. Make sure that when you guys move down here that he has brown bagger status so he can live at home while in FMTB insted of in the barricks. I loved having my husband in Great Lakes for A-school and boot camp because when he was in A-school he came home every weekend or we went down there. It was only a little over an hour drive! When does he start FMTB? My husband did it in January of this year and then when he graduated on MArch 8th and checked into his command he was told that he would be deploying on the 29th of March.

It is a new adventure for sure. And being from the midwest as well, I am so glad that they dont have snow down here. these people actually freak out when they get even an inch of snow and everything shuts down because they are not equiped to clear the roads for snow...lol. yeah it is hot and humid down here but the ocean is only 20-30 mins from jacksonville going south or east so that is so nice. The base also as ocean access. I told my husband I dont ever want to move back to the midwest...me and snow are not fond of each other...lol. I talked to a girlfriend of mine about the local schools here in the area and they said they are not that great. But if you live on base then your children can go to the schools on the base which is what my kids are going to do. The base housing here is really nice. We are going to living in a 3 bedroom 2.5 bathroom home with a screened in sun porch. They are very nice. Yeah let me know when the time gets closer to you moving down here. So what does your husband do in Great Lakes?

I am not sure what the local schools are like. My kids are not in school yet, just daycare. Are you going to live on base or off base? We are planning on moving onto base in November so our children will go to the schools on base when the time comes. Housing is nice in certian areas. I will inbox you the number to our rental company and I am sure they can help you find a place. Right now we live in a 2 bdroom townhouse for around $850 a month. 2.5 bedrooms and a fenced in backyard. The base is huge here. My husband was in great lakes for bootcamp and for A-school as a corpsman. My husband and I are from the suburbs of Milwaukee wisconsin and it is a totally different way of life down here. Much more fast paced. I love it though...When it is almost 70 degrees in february!!! The summers are so hot and humid though, this is the first summer we have been here and with the heat index it is usually around 105-112 degrees.
