Welcome Aboard new Moms. Share more gossip - love it

Maggs - so sorry you had that flu. I heard it is nasty. Good luck with Angel. I thought you purchased special gloves to handle her.

Yippe Jack is better !  Keep warm blondie

Will try to post pictures . I just got to get the hang of it.

No baby here yet.

 Still those faults pain, but getting more and more.

Figures we are at negative temps that were bad enough to close teh schools for two days. 

So I have been trying to get my to do list done. But today i decided to get pneumonia, but only in the right lung. I might not get to work tomorrow.  Hey all - going to rest up now 

At least I can send hugs

She should apply for a passport now, on her own dime. Do not wait. This will speed things up, even though a name change later is a hassle. Do not wait for a Navy no fee one.

Oops 

... There is a good chance the CS waiver will be approved. I have seen it go either way. This is why so many couples rush to marry in a courthouse during A school, to be on the orders. If they could change them, it would be no big deal. But they can't.

Okay, I am on a mobile, so I can't do links, but look through my page and find my blog on command sponsorship. 

The Navy will not amend his orders just because he got married. Too late to switch to accompanied. He is eligible to have a dependent there, but at this point he has to go without her, and apply for a command sponsorship waiver.  Be warned, these take time.  She cannot just go there, unless she is SOFA sponsored, housing is not provided.  

Once the waiver is approved, if it is, then she must pass an overseas screening, primarily health and criminal checks. Then the Navy will move her. They will be assigned base housing, usually a two bedroom apartment. Because he is an E-4, and at the beginning of his assignment

Brrrrr. -1 this morning. Delayed school openings, subways breakingdown. It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood.

My son was able to get an apartment at E4 but it depends on where they work and if all there stuff is done and there behavior. Plus how full are the barracks. I would make sure he gets her added to his orders as soon as they are married. A spouse has to be command sponsored in order to bring her over. I wish them luck. They will however love Japan. Once she gets to go they will not make them both live in the ship. He would be the only one allowed to live in the ship.

Thanks again Kim. I'll wait for AntiM to add me as a friend.

Thank you Kim!

He is E-4. They are getting married in a couple of weeks. He'll add her to his orders as soon as they are married. I didn't know they could live on the ship. How does that work?

Do they get a 1 bedroom apartmnent close to base or?

Welcome Mary.  AntiM will have all the details.

I know that she must be on his orders for the Navy to pay to move her.  She is not going to be able to move to Japan unless she is on his orders or has her own work visa to be there.  Visitors can only stay in Japan for 3 months. 

What is his rank?  My son went over as an E4.  No housing, they lived on the ship.  At E5 he got an apartment.

Hi everyone,

My son got orders to Japan when he's finished with school soon. He will be getting married before he ships. I imagine this will be a problem with housing since he received orders before he's married.  Any tips would be helpful.  Thanks!
