Hello ladies! New to the group, my husband checked into BC last night and yesterday was pretty rough. We have been together 8.5 yrs and have never been apart longer than a week. We have a almost 2 yr old and he will be missing his birthday next month. Going to take things day by day

Hello everyone! I have been where you are. My husband retired two years ago after 23 years of service. I am a veteran Navy Wife, and I am more than willing to help you in any way that I can.

Hey mrsM
Girl I was there and my two pups missed my husband as much as I did. I remember getting that box and being such a mess girl and let me tell you it gets better (so cliche) but it's true. You will endure so much after this and your marriage will get so strong after being apart. My husband and I went for a hike this weekend and talked abt the craziness we went through but we are so in love more. If you need to chat or need to vent just DM me and I'm here.

Hey Mia,
My husband graduates from A school at Fort Sam August 14th. We are driving to California together to either get our stuff and come back or visit family. If you are gonna be in San Antonio around that time you could totally follow us to riverside then from there we can help you. Plus you could probably crash at my parents house :)
I'll keep you posted. Message me for my number and btw that is a HARD drive especially through Texas I just did it

Good morning and how are you All?

I have not been on the site for a long time, but I decided to reach out to you for your help and support, hopefully someone will try to help me with my quest?

In August i'll be traveling to join my HM Corp Navy husband in San Diego, CA. I am very excited, but also will be traveling by myself from Boston, MA to San Diego, CA. I wonder whether any of you traveled that way and would have some helpful hints to share? I will be staying with my friend for a couple of nights in Forth Smith, MO. Also, I would like to visit METC in San Antonio, TX where my husband attended the A School last year, but I did not attend his graduation and I regretted ever since. I was thinking to go there this year and possibly to attend another graduation if it is possible. Could anyone help me with it? Also, I do not know anyone there to stay with. Would anyone help me with the accommodation information to stay on base's Navy Lodge? I then will be headed to San Diego, CA. Does anyone have any clues for safe, at reasonable prices, places to stay on my way there?

I would really appreciate all of your help and assistance in this matter. I would love to visit San Antonio and the base, where my husband was attending his A Class and graduated with honors.

Take care, Good Luck and God Bless You All!!!!!

Hello, everyone! Does anyone know of any good storage places to put all our house stuff in? Preferably some places that offer military discounts?
