how long does it take to contact someone while moving to a different base in iraq?

3 days is nothing.  he may be going from one base that has easy access(computers set up with email access, phones, etc) to one that has none of those things.  \n\nHe may be stuck doing missions.  there are a million different reasons, and all of them legit, that could explain why he hasn't gotten in touch with you.\n\nI have gone weeks and months without hearing frommine, it's par for the course.

Depends on the waiting list... ask the people that you signed up for base housing with and they will normally know how long it takes to get onbase housing

Check www.military.com.  This helped me get in touch with some of my old Army Buddies.

I'm active USMC.  try anymarine.com, anysailor.com, anysoldier.com and anyairman.com.  They support the military deployed to Iraq and other war zones.  They would have some great ideas for how to get in contact with people overthere.

pretty much all communication for boot camp is limited to one 30 second phone call at the beginning to say "I got here" and snail mail the rest of the time.\n\nThey may have more access once they hit A school, but even then, it will be along the lines of 250 guys sharing ten comps at the library.

Write to the commanding officer where he's stationed.

No. The standard is usually 60 miles, if they move your position more than 60 miles from its current location (not where you live where THEY do business from) then they have to offer you relocation assistance. It depends on the company though, I wouldnt bother asking in your case because its rediculous to move from one side of town to another.\nGood luck

Read your papers everyday. Don't worry. I am a military wife and I know how it feels not to hear from someone who's over there. Don't think the worst. There are many reasons why they may not be able to call you. When my husband was over there, someone compromised the unit by revealing to much info to a loved one on the phone. Consequently, they weren't able to call home for two weeks. Also they may be moving and they may not be able to communicate in anyway. If you have contact info, write or email. Many soldiers (along with everyone else now!) have Myspace pages. See if they have one. Next of kin is contacted as soon as all of the proper procedures are complete. The person the soldier listed on his paperwork is the person that will be called. It is not always a spouse or a parent. After that, it is up to that person to contact everyone. But please, be patient, relax, and pray. Things are tough but you will be okay and he is ok.

As a soldier, I am getting sick of not seeing my spouse. We have been seperated for 14 months. We both serve - him in Afghanistan and myself to Iraq. That being said, being in Iraq and seeing it first hand, I know that we cannot pull troops out of Iraq until stability is reached and the Iraqi government can sustain themselves. Unfortunately this will take years.

The processing time to go from one Service to another (i.e. USAF into Army) is 3 months on the Army side ONCE the losing Service agrees.... so HOPEFULLY not more than 3 months for a Branch Transfer.  \n\nhttps://www.hrc.army.mil/site/Active/opdistacc/IST/CIST.htm\n\nProcessing Time:  If the losing Uniformed Service recommends approval, they forward the request to the Army.  They Army usually takes about three months for staffing, branching, approval, and to have orders published.\n\nEditted:  I spent a number of years in the military and the processing time during wartime is different than during peacetime.  It is also different if your MOS/job is critical or not.  If you are an officer or not.  There are many variables concerning this.  Although the link I posted does not specifically address this, it is fairly current and would reflect the general maximum processing time the Army is current utilizing moving people around.  Hence, why I said "hopefully not more than 3 months".

One of our local National Guard units is getting ready for their third deployment to Iraq.  This unit has not volunteered for redeployment...they have been ordered.  I think if you do some research, you will find that Guard and Reserve units are being ordered back to the war zones of Iraq and Afghanistan more than once, and they aren't raising their hands saying, "Send me, send me".  These are men with jobs and families, and they didn't sign up to be permanent active duty.

Those answers should have been answered for you while you were at MEPS.  It's USUALLY a one stop shop.  However, if you had mentioned that something was/may be wrong, or are pending a waiver, the turn around time is 2-3 weeks.\n\nCongratulations and good luck

Actually it depends in part of the country they are in.  We didn't have wireless service where I was stationed in Iraq.  But Ballad did and so did a few other places near the green zone. Most MWR's have internet access if the base has been around for awhile.  The rainy season is just about over so you shouldn't have a problem talking to someone over there.  My space has soldiers on it . Yahoo has military chat rooms.  Good luck You could also look into adopting a soldier or a plt. Their are a lot of soldiers over there with no body waiting at home for them.

Go to Military.com....sign up, plug in the base or name of the person.  It's not very easy because so many people have the same name, but it's worth a shot.  Good luck.

Feel free to Email me if you have any other questions or just to chat. lvn3814@yahoo.com\n\nBy the way, I'm also a Military wife\n\nStay Strong
