Why don't you use "google" and input unemployment statistics as your key words? I would recommend going to areas where the unemployment rate is low.

Yes, that's a good idea! Also, some places have temp agencies that can help you get a foot in the door so you can try those, too. I got the good paying job I have now right after we moved here through one and it was great, so easy too. We just moved here and even though I have a college degree I hadn't used it due to the military, I already had a job! They set up an interview for me with a company, and they (company) offered me the job the next day! The hours are great and so is the pay, I don't have to worry about the kiddies or needing hubby to help out with picking them up or on weekends (which he isn't available to help anyway!LOL) Good luck and hope you hear on the permanent orders soon so you can really start looking in one specific area.

Always a challenge having a family, being a military wife and being a working mom. Boy, do we appreciate the times when everything works out.

You say that you are looking for orders, what orders are they saying he can pick from? Or is he filling out his dream sheet in school right now?

He's picking orders for shore duty on any navy base. He's an corpsman I think that's spelled right :-). Right now Pensacola is looking for lots of ppl. But I really don't want to go further south. We want to head back up north but we don't want to do Virginia.

The way the system works is that when he is up for orders (as long as they are not his bootcamp orders), is he looks to see what is open in a computer system and than he applies in that system with his request of what he would like out of those that where in the computer system (called CMS-ID)...he can't nor do they allow him to just say he would like ________, that isn't how it works. that is why I asked what they are saying he can pick from
