Various links to military stuff.
Here is a link that you will need to check out. It is a FAQ about PCS moves and what $$'s are available.

Space A Travel Eligibility
Ok, this is a very important link and I hope it stays valid if I forget to update it. Just so everybody knows, legal dependents are now allowed to travel Space A while their military sponsor is on deployment orders. If you don't know what this is it is very simple. You can fly at little cost almost anywhere in the world on a government aircraft. You sign up on a list and wait for your number to be called. So, if your sailor is deployed to say, Japan, you can jump on a Space A flight to Japan for say 30 dollars. I don't know the exact amount, but it is cheap. Take a look at this, Google Space A travel, you will get all the answers you need. If you have more questions, ask.

Yeah, I hear you on the finishing stuff up. I'm trying to do that now. I think my first visit is going to be the weekend of Easter. I am trying to find out if they have a 3 day weekend that weekend... anybody know?

Amber, I am just going back to finish up some stuff. I don't know how long it will be before I get down here permanent though. I have to finish a room I was remodeling and get my stuff moved out so I can rent out our house. I don't want to sell yet because of the housing market. I will move down, just don't know when. I will come back in a couple weeks to visit though.

gman - thanks SO much! that helps give me an idea of what to expect. -ish. i know it's the navy and they can shake things up a bit so I'm not gonna expect that exactly, just so I have an idea. So thank you so much!! Hopefully they wont take away your wifes weekend liberty. that would suck @rse!

So you are going back to Iowa and not moving down to P'cola?

About being down here now I don't mind the afternoons and mornings in the hotel. I could be doing other stuff but I am just too lazy and want to take it easy until I get back home. Plus the weather isn't great. It is supposed to be nice this weekend but it is still a little breezy and cool.
I am just hoping now that she gets liberty this coming weekend. Yesterday her group had a financial test and more than 50% of the students failed the test and the instructor said that their Chief may take away weekend liberty! If that is the case I am heading home Sat. instead of Mon. Ahh, the way of the Navy!

proud Navy wife!, well I see my time with her as a lot. Today not at all because she has duty tonight so she is stuck in the barracks. Her first weekend, last weekend, I spent all day with her off base on Sat. and Sun. until muster at 9.15 pm. She got to leave base around 7-8 am I don't remember exactly. On Fri. last week she didn't know she could go off base so we stayed on base and ate the the A&W at the soldiers fun hall, I don't remember the name of it. There is a bunch of games and stuff over there, plus a bar for them to drink in if they are 21 and phase 2 or 3.
During the week this week she has been off at 4 pm and didn't need to be back until muster at 9.15 pm. They told Liz we could go off base during the week also but she was unsure of that. I think it is enough time to hang out and chat. They have work duty until 4-4.30 pm every weeknight so it is after that you get to be together, unless they have duty. I think duty is once a week, but if they end up with Friday duty, my understanding is, they get the duty for the entire weekend. So no leaving the barracks until Monday again.
