Hi Lilu. Yeah, it's been a struggle. I don't think I've cried so much in my life. It is nice to know that I'm not the only one. :) I'm hoping we'll see a letter this week, maybe even today (wishful thinking.) Take care. If you need someone to talk to, I'll be here, still crying my eyes out.

It's on base, just not on the RTC side. It's so cheap, I'm staying a couple weeks.

Yeah, the gateway is $10 cheaper, but I wanted the kitchen that the lodge offers, since I'm staying so long. His A school is in Great Lakes and it sounds like his orders should be accompanied, since it's greater than 6 months, so I want to work on making arrangements for our move there (paperwork for nursing license and checkmout the housing options.)

I understand you insecurities. I've been married to mine for 7 1/1 years and I'm worried about how it will change him. Keep your chin up. He loves you or we wouldn't have put a ring on your finger. Everything will work out and we should here from them soon. 

Stupid touch screen on my iPhone... Ignore the typos. :)

I just realized that you have to have base access to stay at the lodge (maybe even the gateway.) you can still check and see though. They're definitely the more affordable options. You can google navy lodge. Good luck. :)

it says there's eligability, it'll be the top left of the page...the one you want to stay at is the Great Lakes, IL one (go figure lol) I hope you'll be able to stay there!

I think someone with a military ID has to sponsor you... I don't know if your fiancé can be your sponsor or not. Check out the lodge site that faith listed and see what you think. You can also call the number on the site to ask them about your eligibility. Good luck. Still no letter or call on my end, but ours will come soon enough. :)
