Hey everyone, my husband is currently in bootcamp. He will be graduating June 21st. I haven't gotten a call or letter, so I don't know where we are going, but I was wondering if anyone here knows how things work after book camp. I know that he will be going to "A" school, but in wondering if anyone knows how that works for spouses, do I go with him, get sent to our assigned base, or stay here while he's doing that. Also does anyone know how long before they get their first phone call?

Oh my god thank you so much UrabissWife. Thanks for friending me. I will defiantly be hitting you up with tons of questions especially about the hotel you stayed at. If the Navy doesn't move me than I'm going to put everything in storage too. The only difficult thing for me is my cat. I'm afraid I won't be able to find an extended stay hotel that allow pets and isn't ghetto. So yes after PIR I will be inundating you with questions. I feel so much better. You are so right people don't really know what they are talking about and you gotta just try and do what's right for you. Talk to you soon :-)

 

Oh yeah to answer your earlier question my husband’s rating is IT and he was told that his A & C school are both going to be in Pensacola FL. He signed a 6 year contract so I think that means a guaranteed spot in A & C school if I understand it correctly.

OhWhere:

I know its really hard. I was in your shoes last summer. I knew what we were getting into, but nothing could prepare for what to expect. no communication was the hardest for me also. I was use to talking to my husband every single day. than bammm nothing. the letters being behind didn't bother me, I think b/c I was so overwhelmed in actually getting a letter :P than again he never really gave me any feedback. didn't answer and questions, he just wrote. I don't know your situation exactl, but this is what I did. I moved down to Pensacola while my husband was in A school.  we don't have any kids, so that was a big thing. I loaded my car up with what I could and made the long drive down there. when he went to basic I moved in with my sister, so all of our stuff was in storage anyway. I made arrangements to make payments over the phone with them b/c I was leaving. I stayed at an extended stay there in Pensacola. it was like a hotel setting, but we paid monthly. it wasn't too expensive either. there were more cheap places, but they were super ghetto! and there were more expensive places, but too expensive. when I went down there, I seen my husband every single day, and he got to stay on the weekends. then he got foxtrotted and he was able to stay all week with me, and just go to school. there are probably a LOT of people telling you "he will be too busy with school"  don't listen to them. it frustrates me. unless they have been there, don't listen to them. there were some days I didn't get much time with him, but not because school, because he had watch.....keep in mind everyone's experience in the navy will be different you just have to live and learn. some girls I talked to filled my head with crap .. nothing they said was true. a lot has changed today than even 2 years ago. if you need any info on Pensacola, I can help you out... or if you just wanna vent, girl im here. I know what you are going through. <3

Thanks UrabissWife for responding. It's been frustrating not getting any answers and now after reading more info I am not getting too excited about the Navy actually moving our stuff because it sounds like it might not happen. I'm going to try and calm down and just know it's out of my hands either way and when I find out I find out. I'm just so antsy to see my husband. I haven't gotten any calls for more than two weeks and only get a letter once a week. I'm very thankful for the letters but all the stuff he writes is almost two weeks old by the time I get to respond to it and get any kind of feedback. Only 14 more days till PIR and then things will get better. Man this is hard, missing him is one thing but NO communication is another… I hadn’t really understood what that meant until now. I’m having a bit of an emotional day today. But it’s Thursday and that means LETTER DAY so I will be floating on clouds soon. Take care everyone and thanks for all the helpful information.

Hi Everyone, My husband (MA) will be picking orders soon. We would like to go overseas again (Bahrain 2009-2011) and I would like to know from others where they have lived overseas and what were some of the good and bad things they did not like about that doing station. I plan on working, so please let me know if their were jobs for spouses - I have a Master's degree. In addition, we have teenager in high school whom will be graduating at our next duty station. So, I want to ensure she goes to a great school as well as enjoy her time in her last 2 years of high school.

ohwhere::::  if he will be in school for longer than 6 months they will move you out to where he is. as far as if they add A school and C school together I don't know.  im sure he will know more when he gets checked into A school. they may have info for you when you see him at graduation, but im not for sure on that....what is your husband job going to be. b/c  know my husband went to A school in Pensacola and he did C school at his first command .

Just found out my husband is in Ship 3, Division 193? Anybody else in the same division?

Question for all you Wives:

My husband said in a letter that I will be able to accompany him to his A school in Pensacola, FL because he will also have C school there. So I believe the Navy has to pay for my move since that is a whole year. I really hope this is true, but when will I find out? Will they send me a letter with his orders a few days before PIR or is that something he can hand me when I see him? Do you know anything about that? Thanks for all your help :-)

Adriane you are welcome :P I hope you like it up here. the sun is finally starting to show I haven't seen it what seems like all winter lol. people say its really pretty up here during the summer. we live off base, but it was hard trying to find a home big enough with the right price. I know a lot of people live in base housing. make sure you guys go to the homes to check them out. the pictures on line are not what they seem to be lol .
