    How long until we're officially "in"?

    Primary can be in Pcola or Corpus Christi, and if you request CC, you'll pretty much get it, since most people want to stay in Pcola (which is what I wished we had done, personally). As for OCS, I moved down w/ my husband with our daughter and one on the way. Sunday mornings for a couple of...

    Time with family?

    Great question! My husband is a student aviator right now, and I will say that a student's time is stretched w/ studying and/or fly time. I can't answer for after Primary but I have heard that it will not get much better until after you get winged, and even then there are other things that...

    What to wear to the OCS Graduation Ceremony

    Another point that might help your decision is the parade in the morning, which starts around 7:30. The grass is usually a little wet, which will only matter if you go to take pictures of the graduates on the parade field. When my husband graduated in July, I and most people wore a sundress or...

    Jobs for Civilian Wives

    I'm a teacher...now stay-at-home mom, but it would be tough to get a full time teaching job, especially during the training period (1st two years). Subbing would be the best bet. They are always needed and with a teaching degree, I'm sure you could get a job everyday, but I'm sure you already...

    UCCI dental question

    Does anyone know what UCCI covers for dental visits? I thought that checkups were covered 100% but I was also wondering about other procedures. The UCCI web page won't show me anything unless I'm a member, which I'm not yet. Also, any recommendations for dentists in CC? Jennifer

    New wife in the navy-inprocessing?

    Hey. I hope I'm understanding all the questions, so I'll answer as best I can. You'll need to get your ID ASAP since you use it for everything--checking in at the doc, getting through the gate, shopping at the commissary/NEX. Your sponser/husband should fill out a form at PSD (personnel...

    Does anyone know the NAS corpus website? I've been trying http://www.chinfo.navy.mil/navpalib/bases/navbases.html#corpus which I got from a naval site, but it has not come up for the weeks I have been trying it. Thanks!!

    Hey! Welcome to the board!! Believe it or not, it does go by quickly. We are all or have been in the same boat. How old are your children? My husband graduated in July. We have a little girl, 2, and a baby that was born while he was in OCS. Let us know if you have ANY question!! Jennifer

    Moving to Corpus Questions!!

    Wow Heather! Thanks for the great info. And in case ya'll haven't figured it out, Agent00jp is my hubby! I guess he didn't mention that it is 4 of us moving to CC. I will check out your apartment locators. I have talked to one (Bradley somebody?) and he didn't sound real positive about...

    Corpus question

    Dave, is it easy to get on base housing if it's not a PCS move? I guess I've been under the impression that they won't consider you for that if it's temporary. That would be a lot easier! We'll check on that! Also, my husband is and O-1 so our BAH is 811. We've checked out...

    Corpus question

    Hey everyone. My husband will probably be starting API in a couple of weeks and then we'll be going to Corpus for Primary. Can anyone give me any rental information (apartments or preferably homes). We'd like a 3 bedroom (2 kids) and it needs to be within the BAH (which is about 800, I...

    18 Oct OCS trying again to meet significant others

    Hey Cody. My husband recently graduated from OCS and I was pregnant at the time too. Our son was born 6 weeks before his graduation. He happened to be born on a weekend so my JP was able to be there with me. Also, talk to your team leader lieutenant and see if arrangements could be made for...

    Help a future aviator plan a wedding!!!

    My husband just finished OCS a couple of weeks ago and the Navy made them take a "mandatory" 10 day leave right after graduation. That may be your best bet, although it wouldn't be in the spring if you graduate in Dec. It will be hard to take leave during IFS/API, but there is also wait time...

    Go to Navy OCS with husband?

    My husband just finished OCS and we did all move down here to Pcola together. We have a toddler and then had a baby on the way...he was born while JP was at OCS. He would not have traded us being down here for anything. And I wanted the kids to be able to see their daddy when he was free. The...

    Job Hunting in P-cola

    See if NASP has a SEAP (spouse employment assistance program). I'm not sure if all bases have one, but I know some do. They may be able to hook him up. Jennifer

    Deployments...and...wives (girlfriends)

    Wow! Everyone has said everything i would say, I think!! Do be upfront with your girlfriend about all that the Navy entails. My husband is finishing up OCS so hasn't been on deployments yet, but the hardest part is being a single parent. We have a 2 year old and I just had a baby a few weeks...

    18 Oct 03 OCS class

    Kathy is right about the Sunday's. They will get to go to chapel on Sun mornings from 8am to 10am and you can hang out in the fellowship hall during that time...along with the other officer candidates. That's for the first 4 weeks and then they should be secured for liberty on the following...

    18 Oct 03 OCS class

    I don't know much about AF life. My husband is in the final weeks of OCS and so far, I love the Navy life. We have 2 young children and we moved to Pensacola so we would all be together. I'm glad we did and would recommend it if you could do that. You never know exactly how long you will end...

    Justice of the Peace

    I think that it's very informative. I need to go back through it now that I'm actually a Navy spouse now, but I think it helped me know situations to expect and tips for moving, parties, etc.

    Justice of the Peace

    Anyone on active duty is automatically enrolled in Tricare, although I'm sure they won't just go over it unless you ask. He shouldn't have to pay anything...maybe just a small copay, if that much. I have the book Navy Spouses Guide by Laura Stavridis. Is that the book you're talking about...

    Justice of the Peace

    Yes Goose, definitely go Prime if you can. And if she is staying back in Denver you will also get a family separation allowance of around $100 month in addition to your BAH (housing) pay.

    Justice of the Peace

    Tricare is the military insurance and it is free for spouses and dependents. She can go to any military medical faciltity and will not have to pay a dime with the Tricare Prime. If she is out of state or not near another med facility, she will need to get a referral to be seen by a civilian...

    FYI: Access to NAS Pensacola

    Yes, the wait might be long for the inspections. There were about 10 cars in line today. And they will make you get out and open your hood and trunk so they can look under it. Pray for no rain!!

    Question about Getting Married in the Navy

    My husband and I have been married 4+ years before he started OCS. No one has been discouraging in anyway. In fact, the PSD (personnel) office and Family Service office have been very helpful. And my husband appreciates that I am with him 100%. He has more purpose in what he does...knowing...

    (First of all, sorry this is so long!!) My husband just started OCS and will be an SNA. We've been married over 4 years, have a daughter and a boy on the way. I've always known he'd be going into the military and it was a just part of my committment to him to be able to have his dream career...

    Hey, I'm new to the board and to the Navy. My husband starts OCS in a couple of weeks and I had some questions. Are the military doc in Pensacola good to go to? In other words, will Tricare Prime be sufficient or do you recommend the Standard? Any information will be helpful!! Thanks...
