Holdfast - Just to clarify when navymom3 says "Some go to NAS first for a pre class but there is no pre class for CTR. All Ct and IT end up at Corry."....
What she is saying is all CTT (6 years) and CTM go to NAS for the 1st part of their "A" school. All CTI go to Monterey California for their "A" school. The CTT (4 years), CTN, CTR, (and IT) go straight to Corry.
The term "Brown-bagger" is mainly used by the Airdale community. In fact, the only time I've ever heard it outside that community was about 3 years ago, which is strange since I've been a CT for 34 years.
You have the right to move where ever you want in the U.S. You are an U.S. citizen. If you choose to stay in Pensacola, then you will get housing (BAH) allowance for that area. The Navy is required to pay you BAH for whatever area the dependents live. However, if the Navy doesn't approve you to live there, then they will make him stay in the barracks doing all the stuff that normal single sailors do. (ie muster 3 times a day, remain on base, etc....) So you might be in Pensacola, but you'd might as well be in Alaska because you wouldn't see him until phase 2, if he doesn't follow the Navy process of requesting you to be there.
Lastly, as much as you want to be there, you need to remember that he is there to learn his job. Sometimes the wife being there causes the sailor to fail his classes, which then the Navy will send them to the fleet designated. So a few months of pleasure will turn into a lifetime of misery. So choose what you do carefully. Don't expect him to spend a bunch of time with you. He has to learn his school, he might be in a study group each night.
Personally, I would try to be there (if I were you), however, I would also make dang sure he understands that you fully support him, even if you only see him a few hours each day. Don't rag on him if you're not seeing him much, remember, it was your choice to move there. Bottomline is to know all the rule and facts before you do anything in the Navy.

Holdfast....unless things have changed when I was there in march son was able to leave Corry after class during the week and stayed with us at the hotel. I just had to have him back to the base at 615 am every morning. It wasn't just on weekends. Also his room mate never stayed at Corry. He lived off base with his girlfriend and just came back for muster and class. This was for a school and c school. Corry is much more laid back. Son is still there...leaves in September. so once your hubby gets thru indoctrination and into phase 3 he should be all yours! This is at Corry...not NAS.

Holdfast- The Ashton right across from Corry does rent by the week. Which may be a place to get started at. When my son's friend called I think it was 189 a week probably plus tax. You would have to call them as I don't think there website gives that rate.

Oh yea, I'm in TN right now so I wouldn't be able to see him at all if I didn't go but I am going to, just have to try and figure out how I'm going to do this with having to fly and needing to find some place relatively cheap. I guess I'm just nervous because this is the first time doing any of this on my own so all of the help really does mean a lot to me, thank you both so much.

There are actually 4 bases in Pensacola. The 2 our sailors go to for school are NAS and Corry Station. Some go to NAS first for a pre class but there is no pre class for CTR. All Ct and IT end up at Corry.
While waiting for class to start they do there indoc and get all there watch quals done. The sooner they get them done the faster they phase up. Then they do some barracks support if class has not started yet. They keep them busy while waiting for class to start.
Even if he can't live with you, you could probably see him everyday. Which is better than nothing.

HoldFast: If your Sailor is going to A School in Pensacola for CTR, then he will be at Corry Station, not NAS. He will likely Phase up very quickly like my son recently did (unless he goofs up).
My son was assigned a "job" cleaning the laundry room. He said it took all of 30 minutes/day. The rest of his time was free (unless he was assigned to do watch). That was before he classed up.
He said they have PT three times a week (early in the am before class starts), so between PT, school, studying, and cleaning the laundry room, he stays busy and enjoys the beach on the weekends.
If I were you, I wouldn't stress about the details - just go there. You need to be near him. It will work out.

I had just thought he was going to NAS, I'm so confused =/
What did he do while he was waiting?
I was reading over the liberty site thing above and it said phase 2 my husband could come live with me.
I really hope he just gets someone who is understanding about the baby but I know that isn't very likely

HoldFast: My son PIR'd on 07/01/2011. He went to Corry and had to wait 4 weeks to class up for CTR A School. He got to Phase 3 two weeks after arriving at Corry. He said they had a new CO and she is very "relaxed". Hope this helps.

If he is CTR then he should go staight to Corry. Once he hits phase 3 then he can go stay the whole weekend with you. Just hope he gets day time classes. My son is on bravo schedule and starts at 1230 to 630 each day. I think he said Alpha class is from 6 to 1230. I may be off an hour or so.
