:( it sucks because his recruit kept telling us not to get married before and other people were telling us to do it anyway because they just dont want to go through the paper work but now i regret it ... they told us we can get married PIR weekend and then i find out thats not true either ... but i guess everything happens for a reason so we will see where it can go from there.  do u think it would be possible for me to move on my own expense to where ever he gets stationed ? Is the ship over seas or is it stationed somewhere and they just go everyday ?

Awesome thank you :) !! i was just kind of wondering  a few questions because my SR keeps being told a bunch of different things about SPACT... he is still in training his PIR is 12/6 so he is half way there and we have soo many questions lol "/ ...i was wondering about the job... he keeps being told that he has to be away over seas in a ship for a year and a half and that its like the worst program he could have picked and we plan on getting married after he finishes but he was also told that they will not move me with him.. which if they dont pay for my move or whatever it may be, it wouldnt be a big deal because i figuered i would just move to whatever state he is based but then again he is being told that he has to be on a ship so im not sure ? :( he is kind of discouraged from everything he hears about it ... but then again people will always say something so i figuered to talk to someone who is going through it .. i appreciate it alot !

Imperial Beach is a little calmer than most of the other beaches.. Pacific Beach is a young crowd and party party party. Mission Beach is heavy traffic areas so be ware. Ocean Beach is a nice area but not very close to the base.  When you decide on an area let me know and can tell you more about the area.

one bedrooms range from 750-900 in a bad area 700... The extra pay is worth being safe.

Actually Imperial Beach is very affordable.  Its about 15-20 minutes from 32sd street 10 mins from Coronado and North Island. Its one of the more calm beach areas.  It use to be slummy there but now it's really nice they have redone everything.  The waves are nice there too.  Word of advice do not move to National City.  It's where 32sd street is located.  It's got a lot going on and not really good.

Where is he going to be stationed at?  There are several of bases in San Diego, but the most common is 32sd street. Also there are a few bases that are close to not so good areas so you might want to concider that.  What price range are you looking to pay and what size apartment are you looking for? If you haven't lived in California before brace yourself the cost of living is high... but well worth it.  It's a great place to live, and so much to do.  What's not to love we have pandas..
