    New Years 2010 Resolutions

    Pickle, I also am imperfect and have a New Year's resolution! :-) I want to run a marathon this year as well. Just for your info: There is a small marathon/half marathon set up at the end of February. It's put on by a small running group in Oak Harbor called the Average Joes. I am hoping to...

    Traveling with pets...

    We stayed at La Quintas the whole trip from MS to WA state, but I do know that a lot of Holiday Inns also accept pets (though when we stopped to check one out, it was much higher priced than the La Quinta right across the street in Phoenix).

    Getting married POST OCS

    The hubs and I got married via JOP. We will celebrate our 5 year anniversary in just 2 months and we have still not had the "real" wedding (we never really had plans to). At first I had regrets of not having an actual wedding...5 years later though, I have NO regrets at all. Weddings are crap...

    House/Condo For Rent in Meridian

    If you're married, I really suggest living on base. If you're not married, Meridian allows single guys to live in housing with a roommate. They MAY even be able to pair you up. They only take half of the BAH (if you're single, all if you're married). If apartments are an option, we had several...

    Wanted: Whidbey Acreage for Horse and Family

    Maybe not relative to the rest of WA, but coming from MS....they are definitely high. Just saying...they will be paid out of pocket and unlikely to come from the BAH (unless Pickle and the herd can find something on the central/south side of the island where the housing may be a tiny bit...

    Wanted: Whidbey Acreage for Horse and Family

    Pickle, one thing to keep in mind is that living off base will cost you more than BAH. The utilities here are on the high end...so while base housing may not be "worth it" (I don't know what the old housing looks like..new housing is REALLY nice though) it will definitely be the cheapest. If we...

    Wanted: Whidbey Acreage for Horse and Family

    Coupeville is definitely doable. It's about a 20 drive into Oak Harbor. It's a cute town.

    Wanted: Whidbey Acreage for Horse and Family

    Ha ha...making assumptions on that part. I don't live on base, but I know they didn't allow chickens in Meridian (yes, someone had chickens on base...poor guy was made to get rid of them)...so I am assuming they won't allow horses. Just an assumption though! :-)

    Wanted: Whidbey Acreage for Horse and Family

    Don't know of any areas with that big of acreage...but we just moved here and we used a great realtor. His name is Hal Hovey and he works at Koetje Coldwell Banker. If you would like his number, pm me and I'll give it to you. There aren't many (if any) houses to rent under $1300 with a big...

    Advice on finding out the name of VA appraisers

    We have been trying to close on our house in Oak Harbor, WA for way too long now. It is my understanding that when doing a VA loan, the VA assigns the appraiser next on the list to your account. They are legally suppossed to have 10 days to do the appraisal. Our appraiser has sat on this...

    Question for Grill-masters

    How much are you looking to spend? The good thing is that with summer coming to a close, grills should be on sale. I got my hubby a nice CharBroil Commercial Series grill for about $320 after taxes from Lowes about 2 months ago. It's got 3 or 4 burners (I can't remember) and a side range to...

    Getting married in ROTC?

    While I disagree with most of what MB says.. this is true. The marriage could backfire and the court could award him with full custody. I don't know about crazy B****es and pregnancy scares to get someone to marry you, but it seems to me, like these types of girls had the crazy radar buzzing...

    Marriage and API/Flight School - Advice?

    From another wife's point of view: My husband and I were married for over 2 years when he started API, so it may be different.. but we have done just fine. You can make it work. Your girlfriend/wife must realize, however, that you will need to study and that you have to spend time away from...

    Separation anxiety

    Wow... calm down. They are merely trying to give you sound advice. It may seem harsh, but take a step back and try to realize that they've seen it all before and they speak from many different experiences. I have already suggested, and will suggest once again, the Private Spouses Corner to...

    Separation anxiety

    Wonderwoman, I can't help with deployments, as I have yet to go through one. But, I can tell you that there is no certainty that your husband will only be gone 6 months. The fact is that most deployments are actually longer than 6 months (usually lasting about 6-9 months, with some even being...

    military marriage and family life

    I was not trying to say that it was. I was only trying to give some advice for that portion of the time (flight school) spent in the military and the affects it can have on working (for a military spouse).

    military marriage and family life

    Military marriages can work, but like any marriage they will take work and understanding from both parties. My husband and I are currently in Meridian for advanced training for "tailhook". We have been married for 3 1/2 years and we have both loved every minute of it. He has not gone on a...

    Heading to Meridian

    Live on base. My husband and I live on base and we love it! Not only is everyone so welcoming and friendly, but he only drives 6 miles to the flight line everyday! It's a hike into town.. but there's nothing in "town" anyways. Good luck with the house hunting and congrats on selecting!

    Housing advice for API/ Primary

    Housing can be a big pain in the rear end. I would wait to get too frantic until you get there and actually talk to someone in person. Good luck!

    Housing advice for API/ Primary

    I wish we would have known this when my husband was in A-pool, API, and primary. We would definitely would have stayed on base at Whiting. Oh well... good information to know! Thanks for putting me straight. :)

    Housing advice for API/ Primary

    Just something to think about, and I don't know the facts of this... but you may not be able to live in Whiting Pines during A-Pool and API. You are not yet stationed at Whiting Field yet, so whether or not you'll be able to live there is up for question. You won't get orders, if you do, to...

    Leave after OCS for BDCP

    I don't know that this is correct. I don't know if you're pilot of NFO, but pilots may not get a PCS move (NFOs will however). My husband was BDCP and we did not get a PCS move to P-cola after he graduated OCS. Things might be different now that OCS is in RI, but they counted A-Pool and API as...

    Restaurants

    I don't know if it's been mentioned or not, but my husband loved Goat Lips deli on Copter (off Davis Hwy). They have some of the best salsa. Also, he loved their mufletta sandwich. It's a hole in the wall, but it's very yummy.

    Housing advice for API/ Primary

    I have to confirm what the hubby has said, Heritage is not a place that I would rent from again. We really haven't had many issues (and I wouldn't call it a dump!) other than the air conditioner. It is, however, a little ridiculous that it's freaking 80 degrees in our apartment and our electric...

    Life with a Marine Officer?

    Have her join the PSC... I know a girl here that is doing her certification right now in speech...something. Maybe I can hook the two of them up and she can help out with some info.

    Life with a Marine Officer?

    I second getting her to join the Private Spouses Club on Airwarriors. There are a lot of ladies that don't venture outside of there. There are a lot of ladies in there that could help with the teaching situation and give some good recommendations. I don't teach... I do have an accounting degree...

    Getting married during flight school

    Agreed. The hubby and I didn't take a "honeymoon" until over a year after we had already been married. We also didn't do anything overly spectacular. Lots of people think that you have to do something crazy expensive for a honeymoon, that's not true. It's about spending romantic time with your...

    Getting married during flight school

    The hubby and I were married before flight training began, so I can't help you out with a timeline, but I second the courthouse wedding. My husband and I did this and I don't regret it at all. I will say that at first I did, but now that I look back I thank God we didn't waste all of that money...

    Monster Marine OCS thread: stupid questions answered here!

    Good luck with everything. I hope whatever comes out of this makes you happy. When my husband left for OCS, I was a wreck, but I would NEVER for one minute tell someone I love to give up a dream because of me. If someone who "loves" you tells you that, then I would question whether or not they...

    Money spent during OCS

    My husband spent a total of $2600 on uniforms (they give you a $1250 allowance for this), plus he took $500 down there with him, plus he probably spent another $1000 or so on other stuff such as class dues, stuff to get ready for inspections, and other random stuff. I went and visited him 3...
