Hello ladies! i thought it would be a good idea to make a group for Submarine girls, just because it takes a special kind of girl to be a Submarine,girlfriend,wife or fiancee :)
also, when we lived there there was talk making it government housing meaning low income families would be able to move in but i am not sure when or if they are pushing it through..
which gate the very small 1 cause i just talked to my friend and she said everything is the same as when we left. she lives in housing there..
sometimes they do put a check point there (very random and annoying) the 2 big main gates of corse you have to show your id and when leaving housing to base there is a small gate there and of course you have to show your id lol but the little shack only when there is a security guard
then it was probably that stupid random check they have.. that is why you have o register family or friends with housing so they can get a pass just in case there is a guard
Hi everyone. I joined this group to find out more about SECF. My fiance is in BC right now and I have no idea what to expect afterwards, any insight would be great. We want to get married sometime in the future, just unsure when and how to go about that. His recruiter told us not to when he found out we were going to get married Dec. 2nd:( Said he wouldn't have been able to join. This is all so confusing to me!
omg what a week i have had first my hubs Jeep breaks down on me not once but 3 times while i had my son and a 3 month old baby.. we just got this jeep like 2 months ago 2009 jeep :/.. then i took my son and the girl who was helping meout for pizza at the bowling alley on base and when we were leaving my son got hit by the bowling alley dor in his face so had to rush him to the er.. of course all this would happen while hubs is deployed.. so glad this week is over
What exactly is BESS? And how long is the schooling total? I really plan on it, but it may be hard to maneuver with me in school fulltime as well til August:(
And also, how exactly will that work with me moving where he is? Will that be on or off base and can he even live with our son and I? Uhh it's so nice to finally have people to answer my million questions lol.
Navywife: That just sounds like an awful week! We had just gave my fiancee's car to his brother the day before he left thinking we wouldn't need it. Well now my car is acting up and I can't even drive on the highway to school anymore. A 15 minute ride turned into an hour ride...Ahh the joy's!
lol @ ashley this was the first time ever that something had gone wrong in all the deployments we have been through so i really hope this does not turn into a trend.. luckily the jeep is still under warranty and everything got fixed for free.
BESS is basic enlisted submarine school i think it is 3-4 weeks long and after your married and done all the paperwork then you can move into housing which in CT is off base the housing i had was right across the street. and yes he will be able to move in with ya.
There's no security at the little gate. I just moved in over here aand I love it! I'm going feel more safe when Justin leaves, since I'll be by myself and pregnant. His best friend just came to visit and his parents were here last weekend and there were no problems getting in and out of "base" housing lol since it's an unmanned gate! The upside of it is we don't pay any utilities or rent it all comes out of bah so it's one less thing I have to remember lol they're really cute esp if it's just you and your hubby, we got the 4plex. Old housing but I like it!!
Yay! I just can't wait to be able to actually lay with him again at night. I know it'll be a while and I may wanna get used to this, but it's hard. Is BESS in GL or what? Could we get married during BESS or would it be better to wait until CT?
@ emily- yay! glad you got a house.. what street do you live on? i think it was grayback the street we lived on.. we have moved so much i cannot remember haha..yea the 4 plex is big enough for a couple but not big enough for a couple who have a toddler running around haha.. we felt so bad for my downstairs neighbors with my son running around but they said they didnt mind cause his little feet sounded so cute against the floor haha..
I hope I'm maybe a week ahead. He arrived in GL, Jan. 20th in the evening. I just can't wait to hear from him. I have so many letters to send out, more like notes.
@Ashley- we got ours 2 weeks after he got there and some got there's 3! It will come!! And then you can send him allll the letters and cards you've been writing!
We heard from him!! He tried calling me 4 times, and I had my phone on vibrate!! I could just punch myself! But he called his mom and told her his address and said he sent letters out yesterday:))
Hey everyone!! I haven't been on n4m in a while but figured i'd stop by and say hi and see how everyone was doing!! any new kingsbay girls yet?!?!
not a whole lot of new stuff going on with us... hubby is FINALLY home!! :) and he's working on putting in a packet to go officer.. thats about the only new stuff going on with us tho!
-stay strong girls!! time will pass by quicker than you think!! - i promise!
you'll start getting a love and hate relationship with email lol right now i defiantly hate mine.. gmail has this coolio notifier that i downloaded instead of me checking every 5 sec. it will tell me when i have an email from my hubs boat email address :) makes everything easier now can actually get off computer..
sorry if you already knew about it i didnt i just found it like last week teehee
lol have pretty much asked everyone i know about the freakin boomer patch on the nwu and no one can answer my question lol they all give me i m not a boomer wife or i have no clue i am not a sub wife :/ well up yours buddy.. teehee sorry i have issues with people saying that no duh your not a sub wife and no duh you aren't a boomer wife.. yes my hubs is on a fast attack but since he was on a boomer i'll always be considered a boomer wife which i am fine with <3
its the patch that goes under the dolphin patch on the digi cami. i really wished someone knew, i cannot ask my hubs since the boat email is messed up. i mean i can always have them put it on and if he doesnt need it then he can just take it off but that would be a waste of money...
My husband doesnt have the boomer patch for digis. you can put them on if u want, but my hubby says its just a waste of money and its not required unless you really really want it on them (my husband is on a boomer)
:) all his Digis just have his name, dolphins, and then the collar devices. :)
As far as i know she isnt on n4m. If i meet any i'll definatly get you in contact with them! which Crew is he going to be on? (that makes a difference because its basically 2 different commands)
They do, if you are married prior to coming to a new command/base then you qualify for a spouse program i forget what its called but u have to be married prior to coming to the base.. also fleet and family (every fleet and family) helps with employment! they have an "FERP" i think its Family employment readiness person or something like that haha but she helps with resumes and jobs and all that and they have books to flip thru that are updates every 2 weeks with current positions availiable in the area. :)
the POA he can get it thru his command from the yeoman and fill out the paper and then the yeoman will do the rest, or else he can go to navy legal and they can get it for him it takes like not even 15 mins to get one.
One thing i will say ladies EVERYONE when you move to a new base first thing or first place rather you should go is FFSC (fleet and family support center) everything is free and it is a plethera of information for us (families) they will help you with EVERYTHING between things in the area, info about the base, finding a job, creating a budget, volunteer work, classes to learn more about the navy lifestyle, mommy and me groups, groups to meet other wives any and everything you can think of they either have, or will help you find the way to get it.. Like I said, FFSC is there for Families and is FREE to all military Dependants so use it!!! and they are usually very very nice (ours in kbay is amazing and VERY friendly and helpful) and they have monthly classes you can sign up for (also free) from anything between auto- learning how to change oil and tires for when hubby is away, to game shows like 'are you smarter than your spouse' - those are new the lady told me about those last time i was in there but its an AMAZING resource and i can not say enough to use it because they can and will help you find what you need!! thats their job.
thanks i wasn't sure if it was required my hubs has it on all of his old sets but since i am buying him new sets and with him being on a fast attack now wasnt sure if he was supposed to have it or not.. why do the guys think it is a waste of money? my hubs was to proud to wear his boomer pins always updated it and everything with the little stars.. his old command even told him when 1 of his stars was wrong.. he was wearing asilver star when it was supposed to be a gold star
Kelsi i hear ya!!! my husband missed v-day thanksgiving christmas and new years this last year. :/ its difficult but you have a great group of ladies on here to help you thru!!
Navywife- he wears his boomer pin on his peanutbutters and his dress uiforms, but the BDU's i think the reason he doesnt gtet the patch and thinks its a waste of money because were at a boomer base and most guys here on on boomers so maybe if we get stationed someplace else he may get them but right now he just says no - the way i see it... its his uniform, he can wear what he wants to lol hes the one who has to wear it to work everyday not me.. One thing i am super excited about tho and im glad he gets to add the Battle "E" ribbon to his chest candy! :)
@ Kelsi- I am so sorry your having a rough time.. it might seem like time is going by soo slow but when it is all and over with you'll look back and and relize how fast time actually went by. and i to agree TX shouldnt be that cold lol I am from TX and hearing about my little town getting snow just blows my mind it never snows in Athens, TX haha.
@ Mrs. STS- it was just a question of why he thought it was a waste of money, me thinking maybe he knew something my hubs didnt.. In deed it is his uniform and he can wear whatever he wants, but when my hubs got his digis he was told he had to wear the boomer patch did not know it was optional even though it is under the required tab on the uniform page. even though that was a yr or so ago things change ::shrugs::
and wow i hate the black and tans :/ totally miss the working whites, working blues ehh not so much.. working whites was totally see through ;D and the utilities i miss them too :( but my hubs does look good in the digis did not think i was going to like the digis cause to me some people do not look right in them and if i have to spend that much on uniforms my hubs better look dang good lol..
sub fiance' im guessing his first command is going to be a boomer then?
I love all the uniforms... really miss the utilities tho... however the bdu's without the blouse and only the pants and the blue t.. oh, yes pleaseeee! i love when my hubby comes home and takes the blouse off haha
Kate G- for car and house you can use any type of insurance.. for base housing you can have renters insurance. we had gieco in CT cause they were cheaper but then we called USAA and they then offered us a better deal and have had USAA ever since..
from what i remember (am not sure so you can ask) housing will cover SOME cost of household good say if your place caught on fire.. so i highly recommend getting renters insurance to make sure you get everything 100% covered and when you move your house hold goods are still covered..
There was a family who were transferring and there stuff got stolen from the truck so they had nothing when they got to there new place and had to buy all new stuff.. that is what sold me on getting insurance
Kate- when i lived in groton in housing we HAD to get renters insurance it was in our lease that we had to have it for our own personal belingings up to s certain amount.. they will go over all of that with you when you sign your lease tho... plus that was bealfour beatty and they are starting to take over a lot of the old military housing.
KAte G My husband and I just went through getting car insurance we talked to alot of companies for 6 months Geico Wanted to charge us 800$! with military discount for one stinking car... So we ended up going to Progressive it was 450 for 6 months! with mil discount plus they give lots of discounts! I dk about housing we havent gotten to move yet! lol
