Hey everyone!

 We just got our orders. Just wanted to see what your opinions were on base housing vs. regular housing? :)

Called housing today, from what it sounded like we are on the waiting list 1-3 months, starting now not when he reports. She said something about him detaching from his current command this week so thats when the wait starts.

ughhh, we wont be able to go off base. Cant find a good enough/ close enough/ safe enough place that will let us have our large dog. Looks like i may be waiting untill october to move. I thought I was soo close!

My husband and I just did our first PCS and we were told the same thing as you Kac. We went to the housing office our first day here, but there wasn't anything available for almost a month, so we decided to go with off base housing. We spent 12 days at the Gateway Inn before we got into our house. The Navy reimbursed us for 10 of those days, so that's where the number 10 is coming from, and we paid for the other 2 days ourselves. It was stressful and I'm glad it's over with! : )

Shauna was that with military housing? My husband detaches with his command but goes to training before reporting to norfolk.

Ughh, i need ot figure this out lol. Its starting to look like were not gonna mov on his 2 weeks leave instead we have to have leave then he goes back then he'll have to return to help me move. Hopefully he will get time off to move me.

I dont know anything about moving, but will be doing our first one here soon and just thought Id add to the current convo, our friends have been told the same thing - cant get on the wait list till they arrive. They were told that it was because it was their first PCS.... dont know why that matters...

How frustrating for you both!

 

On the positive side, once you are are settled in, you can be the expert on that area and guide the other new wives.  (yeah, that's a comfort in this time of stress)

Yes we have a sponser and he's helped up some, but doesn't really know much about military housing. (most people that go to this command are older, says the sponser, so they usually go off base)

I was under the impression like what you said, onece he gets orders and fills out the paperwork we should be on the waiting list.

Im gonna have him call again, I just dont think we should have to wait untill he reports to start our waiting period. Especially when he called the estimated wait time was less then a month.  I think its classic signals crossed, its just so frustrating haha.

 

Yes the ten days sounds right, thats what i thought. My husbands calls me and says they will put us in an apartment ntill housing is ready. From being on here I told him I thought that was to good to be true and that its more like 10 days in the navy lodge.
