Does anyone know how nice the base housing is?I've heard different rumors about some being so dirty that you end up getting some of your BAH in your paycheck, and I've heard that there are some that…Continue

PRDGNSubWife: It is really hard being away from them so soon. My husband and I decided to get married at the last minute. We were gonna wait like another year, but decided to just go for it. We got married on a monday by a JP, and that night he had to leave on a greyhound bus. We didnt even get one night together. We had dinner with some family after the wedding, then went home so I could help him pack his stuff. It is the hardest thing ever, but it is all worth it when you finally get to be with them again, knowing you are no longer just a fiance, but a wife.

That sounds good about the gym stuff. Just let me know when you like to go when you get settled. I go in the mornings right now so I dont get lazy and change my mind in the middle of the day :)
Our page 2 was really easy also, we did it in Connecticut but I am sure its the same.
good luck with everything!

Yeah, luck is what I'm gonna need. I'm gonna be pissed that I have to stay in Florida away from my husband 3 days after my wedding, but I guess you gotta do what you gotta do!

If it takes any time you will get there like the same time than! LOL! Good Luck on the wedding and everything else that comes after! (move, and paper work! LOL!) Wow well I'll see you when I get there!

When my husband had to change his page 2, it wasn't bad at all. It did take a few days to a week to get it processed, but it is really easy to do.

I hope his page 2 isn't too stressful to change after the wedding. It's so stressful that our wedding is on Nov 12th and he has to report on Nov 15th, so I'm most likely going to be stuck in Florida for another week while all the paper work gets changed over and while our housing gets situated. Ugh!

I took 2 classes of Zumba before and even though it kicks your butt it is so fun! (not there!) I would love to try to do that too! I just got off the phone with housing and they didn't tell me the wait but said we should be fine to move in by the 22nd of Nov! I got everything but the page 2 but hope that will get in tomorrow!

I have also been wanting to do Zumba so bad, since even before I moved down here! Looks like so much fun!

I want to do spin class and zumba!! I can't wait to get there! I'm a gym fanatic, so Sara and Janel, we'll be gym buddies :) I called housing last week on Friday, and the wait time isn't more than a week!

I am living in base housing and I like it. The apartment is newly remodeled so it is really nice, and having everything included in BAH is wonderful. Way less stressful than living off base, and way more convenient because it is so close to most of the things on base. They say the wait time for a 2br is 0-3 months, but I only had to wait about a week, if that. So the wait is not bad at all once you get everything submitted. I don't know about the wait on the 3 br houses though. I have also been thinking about checking out some of those classes and stuff, but also don't want to go alone! I would definitely consider going with any of you to check it out. My only problem, I am not a morning person, so I don't know if I could wake up for a morning class, but I will try! lol
