Hey everyone! My husband received his orders yesterday for Oceana. He is an AO and is attached to squadron VFA 211. His projected graduation date from A-School in Pensacola is March 15th. We are hoping to go home for about a week or so, so we will be arriving in Oceana late-March/early-April. Should be apply for on base housing, or look at getting an apartment off base? I've heard there are some bad areas around, so we would want to make sure we had a nice apartment in a safe area. Any advice on housing, and anything else about Oceana would be GREATLY appreciated!

I havent been on in awhile since my son is no longer at Oceana. I just got word that my oldest has requested to be stationed in Virginia Beach in May. Funny how things change.

Thanks so much monkeymind, we are VERY excited. This is our first grand baby <3 She will be having an ultrasound this week. She is missing the deployment with her squadron and ship because they don't deploy pregnant Sailors so she has a temporary assignment duty :)

My daughter has been there since September 2010, although right now her squadron is in a different location doing some training. We just found out a few days ago that our Sailors are expecting a baby <3 We are super excited about it for sure!!!

He will enjoy VFA-34. I recommend that you like the VFA-34FRG group on Facebook. A great support group especially during deployment. Welcome to the Blue Blaster Family.

Thanks for the info Lala , My daughter just told me that she leaves Pensacola next Fri. Still not sure on the leave yet, but I do know that she will get to come home for a bit. How long has your daughter been stationed there?

kander, I am happy to help in any way I can. My daughter is an AO3 as Oceana as well. She is away right now training but I talk to her almost every day. She left Pensacola after A-school and change her flight to come home instead of C-school in Oceana. She then flew home to NC for 10 days and then drove her car to VA Beach. She started C-school and finished it in a couple of months. She would have flown to her ship since it was deployed at the time but they didn't have a berth (place to sleep) for a female available. It may be possible for your Sailor to choose to go straight to her C-school base in the hopes of getting to come home for Christmas. In the past they normally have split the Christmas break in half. Some Sailors get the first half (which includes Christmas) and some get the second half which starts a couple days after Christmas and includes New Years. The first two years my Sailor got the second half and this year should be getting the first half.  I will try to help you get any answers I can. Feel free to send me a friend request if you like :)
