Hi. It can take anywhere from 1 month to about 3. Jus depends on him having all the info they ask for. In regards to the move you can choose whether you would like to move yourself or let the navy do it. It's more convenient to let the movers the navy contracts do it. Only because yuou don't have to do a thing but be present. Lol hope that helps.

My husband worked very hard on getting all the stuff done he had to do on his end and got live ashore in a month and 10 days. it all depends on how motivated your sailor is and how well he stays on top of the office to get his packet pushed through quickly.

hey do you mind explaining the moving process to me? i am just curious.. when his packet got approved did he call and tell you? how long after it was approved did you move in? did the navy move your stuff to your new place or to a storage? did you already have an apartment? did your husband sign the lease?
sorry i am full of questions. i am planning to move as soon as my husbands packet gets approved. i want to have an apartment ready so i was debating on to move before the packet gets approved or not.. i want our stuff to go directly to our new place. i was thinking maybe my husband could go once he is phase 2 during liberty to look at apartments.. how did you guys do it?
oh yeah.. and we can't live on base housing because they do not allow our dog (Siberian huskie) to live on base
thanks ! -
