I don't like living in the place that I am at on Fort Bragg (NC) This home..well it is a multiplex, and it was built around 60 years ago. But they are building much nicer homes that low ranking people are getting...while my husband and I have been in this hell hole for 2 years and now he is an E-5....and E-2s are getting nicer housing...:o(

I heard once that the toughest job in the military is military spouse.  I agree.  They aren't on the payroll, but the military spouses go through a great deal while their loved ones are in combat.

Of course not!  So many military families have to be on WIC that they have offices on base housing.  Most of us, live paycheck to paycheck.  My husband and I can't even afford to buy me glasses!  The jobs we do in the military, we can get paid about 5 times as much in the civilian world.  We don't do it for money though.  We do it because we love this country and we want our children to know freedom.

<former Marine, and if you join remember to take every scholastic advancement they offer, you will want it when you get out, no matter what MOS you have.  Free school rocks!!!  I can't comment on the housing contractor side, however, I'm also a former carpenter:P.  \nForget this question, let's just hook up<3.

I am a military wife, and I can honestly say take all the time together as you possibly can with your husband. The life style isn't that bad, sometimes they are gone to the field, range, and schools, but then you have the deployment, which everyone goes through I swear. The moving isn't too bad, the military moves you for free, and you can get on post housing and just loose the BAH ( your housing allowance) and just have to worry about phone, cable, internet, and bills like that. \nTo me the cons are: them being gone for the field, range, possible deployment, and whatever else the army wants the soldier to do. \nTo me the pros are: steady job, you get to go to new places, see the world, steady paycheck, free insurance, and to be able to walk with the pride of being an army wife. I have been to 2 duty stations in 5 years, Ft. Stewart and now I get to live in Hawaii for 4 years. \nIf you need to talk to anyone you can IM me, my yahoo is always one

Well i wasn't stationed in  D.C. but in Fort Bragg NC. on base is not so bad. but at the same time. it is hard. I liked having the people all around. going through the same that i was going through. The houses are OK i guess. but if you need a bigger one they really don't care. and its hard to get onto base. you mite have to wait for awhile... a few months. my friend had to wait for a year before they gave her a house. the bombs are loud at first but you get use to them. and the soldiers marching up and down your street ..... well you get use to that to. and many things seem to happen more..... the house in front of mine. the lady shot her husband right there in the street. the other house down the road the man shot his family ... wife and 5 kids. that was sad. and they aren't fast on getting you new stoves.....my friends blew up and caught her whole house on fire... they had to move her. its very weird but it was nice to have everything you need right there with you.... like the px. and commissary.... well if that's the way your going . you will make lots of friends. my neighborhood was like one big family ... everyone knew everyone. I do miss that part of it. we are out now... and where i live now no one comes out and talks.... sucks..   good luck\n\nO and we payed 850$ a mon. it went up last year to 950$ for a two bedroom . one bath.

Housing is pretty quiet. It's kinda lonely.  I don't know about the inside of the homes but they look pretty roomy.

no, my dad is in the Air Force so we got moved around a bit.\nI was born in Minot, North Dakota\nThen we moved to Alaska\nThen we moved down south to a little island in the middle of the Pacific Ocea, Guam, looks like a little dot on the map.\nNow we live here in Texas. I still want Rueben, a mini horse. He will be brown and white, and I will name him Rueben.\n\nNorth Dakota - born, lived 1 yr\nAlaska - lived 8 yrs\nGuam - little dot, lived 2 yrs\nTexas - So far we have lived here for 3 1/2 to 4 yrs\nbut we have also passed through alot of States when we would drive by car. That is my favorite way to travel, by car.\n\nI plan on moving to Chicago when I graduate from college. I don't know, wherever the Lord leads me there I shall go.

Moving is a part of military life.  Some people get lucky, and "homestead" at one base or another for an extended period of time, but that's not the norm.  On average, you can plan on moving about every 4 years, give or take.  There are programs that support the family, and can help with relocation including helping your spouse get a new job at your new location, but it's no guarantee she will walk right into a new job.  \n\nYes, married airmen can live in on base housing, but there is often a waiting list.  I never lived on base, I always preferred to live off base "on the economy".  Especially overseas (I lived in Germany for 4 years) I enjoyed the experience of living in a german town.  If you are unable to live on base, and are married, you will be paid an additional housing allowance to cover expenses of rent, utilities, etc.  Unmarried junior enlisted live in dormitories, otherwise known as barracks.

I'm thinking about joining soon too.  I found a few good online resources to help me out.  My favorite is military.com.  Check it out:

Just to let you know it gets really expensive military housing might be a very good idea if you don't have a lot of money, I married a guy in the navy when he was stationed there and we found the smallest studio in kailua for $1000!  It was a room and a bathroom, with a shower a 2' sq.  And Kailua is one of the more expensive places to live I assume your stationed on KMCBH, my friend had military housing on the base and it was a nice apartment.
