My son lives on base and doesn't have a car so he's having a rough time getting around. He's hoping to buy a pick up some time in the next few months.

Hello group. In reading back a little I see some familiary faces and it looks like I've landed in the right place for the next part of my sailor's journey.
Let me introduce myself to those who don't know me. I've been on N4Ms since 6/09 when my only son went to BC. I've probably missed not more than a dozen days since then of checking into N4Ms. My son in in Pensacola and just got his orders for Jacksonville. He's AWO-Acoustic.
He asked me to see if I can find the skinny on housing in Jacksonville. He's heard that base housing fills up and it's possible there won't be room for him. Does anyone live off base, and how does that work? Should he be finding something now? He's not married, and only na E-3. He reports the first part of Nov.
Any info is greatly appreciated!

Finally made it down to the JAX area! Just moved in with my Sailor, living in apts. in the Orange Park area. We're both from Michigan, so it's quite an adjustment... with both the heat/humidity and not knowing a single soul.

I haven't been on for a while but just wanted to check in to say hello to my Navy family and share with you the wonderful news that our son just graduated today from C school. Hope all your sailors are doing well.

Thanks! We'll be at NAS JAX. We've heard good things about Lighthouse at Fleming Island, but the reviews are horrible. There are two in Bartram Park that we like... but still unsure. I really like the Lake Gray Apartments! The reviews are amazing as well :)
