I agree that verbal orders aren't set in stone. However, Bret got his verbals for Rivron 3 and his hard copy a couple weeks later. I dont live out there, but I was just there to visit. It's a nice area, heavily military. The base he'd live on isn't too far away from shopping and restaurants and whatnot. People drive like idiots though, so watch out for that Haha. I met a bunch of the guys and gals and everyone was really friendly. Bret lives in bachelor housing, so the family housing is different I'm sure, unless you're living off base. What's your husbands rank? I think they have to be E5 to live off base.

Wes,(my husband) is an E3 and as long as he is married he can put in a chit to live off base as long as we are there for more than six months.

From what I have heard most of Yorktown is pretty nice we are getting stationed over in newport news and we were told to avoid newport news and shoot for anywhere in Yorktown or some parts of Hampton.

That seems pretty odd since Bret is Rivron 3 and he hasn't mentioned being cancelled. Lol I'll send him a message and see what happens I guess.

I'm not sure that's what Westin was told...I only know what he tells me. I just wish that I would know what is going on so that I can look for an apartment.
