Haha, I married him despite his maroon mistake. But in all seriousness, thank God he's not a Sooner because that just never would have happened. :icon_tong

Yeah, you're right. I can't wait!

Can I just say...Hook 'Em! :) I can't even begin to gather the words to describe exactly how happy I am that college football is back.

Navsup is right, this is the third OCS class of fiscal year 2006. And Jackie, your husband graduates on my birthday! :)

Absolutely do NOT live at Marcus Pointe Grand Apartments!!!! They are the WORST, most military unfriendly complex I have EVER lived in my whole entire life. The construction is shoddy to say the least and the management is corrupt with greed and ignorance.

I just saw that article as well and was wondering the same thing...

I wish I had known about that place when we were there!! Oh well! We might end up back there! Glad you and him found an awesome place to eat that wasn't sushi for once! :P

That would be a really messy situation. I wouldn't try it at Marcus Pointe Apartments. My husband got follow on orders to Corpus when we lived there and although we were let out under the military clause, we got stuck with "redecorating fees" (of about $350) for living there less than 6...

No problem! Being so fresh off of planning a wedding makes us empathize with all of the little decisions that you end up contemplating to death. :icon_tong

Congratulations!!!! Ok, my parents are visiting right now and so them, my husband and I just discussed your situation. The consensus is that your best man should be just that... the best man for the job and your close "awesome" friend sounds like the guy. We ALL voted against a white tux...

Katie Holmes = Tom Cruise = Weird but Hot

Hoorah! :)

I think that UT's ROTC unit would be willing to lend equipment... that's what they told us originally. They have the equipment but not the bodies.

Anyone interested? Cold beer, hot girls... I promise!

No, none of my other friends have had problems with that. Marcus Pointe calls it a "redecorating fee" and it's something their corporate office implemented in our lease. When Ben moved in, he specifically asked (I was there too) if we would be hit with ANY fees when moving out due to military...

Well, it turns out that JAG called the complex and it actually IS legal for them to charge us those $350 in fees. So DON'T MOVE TO MARCUS POINTE APARTMENTS!

Does anyone have any info about Stoneleigh apartments? I know they're pretty new, but just wondering...

Yeah, they're bad. Ben went to base legal today with a copy of his lease in hand and base legal told him that the complex is out of line by trying to charge us extra fees for moving out before 6 months. JAG is going to call the complex. The manager here told us "Well, it doesn't matter if it...

Kate~ You should have called me! We would have gladly let you come tour our 1 bedroom at Marcus Pointe. But we would have also warned you about the management. They're BAD. Colleen (Shortncurly) and I used to blame the bad management on the fact that the complex is so new... but... turns...

Yeah, he's going to Jag this week. I hope they can set things straight... I've heard good things.

I wouldn't recommend Marcus Pointe to anyone looking. My fiance is having to move after being 2.5 months into his lease and despite the military clause, they're still trying to tack on a $350 "moving out before 6 months" fee.

I WISH they had just made it up. It was a pretty big deal around A&M when she disappeared and a lot of people wasted time and money searching for her. I just don't understand some people.

Yes, I have found that in Florida, they need about 8,000 other new driving laws also. The drivers here are awful.

HEY, I still like Mr. T and I pity da fool who doesn't.

Even gayer than the Top Gun volleyball scene? I'm at work, so I can't open the link for fear of my boss walking by and thinking I'm into "the gayest thing ever seen."

I tried the ring trick before I was actually engaged and it didn't work.... I think guys saw it as a challenge rather than an answer.

By the way, did you know that you can register for your weddingthere??? I shouldn't talk too much smack though b/c Ban would register at Academy for fishing lures and hunting equipment if he could!!!

A bow tied to the cart? 6 to 8 pm? Please, everytime I go to Wal-mart, the males think it's dating-hour. I actually got whistled at in that hellish store yesterday. It's almost insulting to be hit on there! Actually, no almost... it IS insulting!

Yes please send your girls over to the Private Spouse's Corner! I can't begin to tell you how helpful it has been/is/will be to me.

Yes, exactly. :)

Cassie (Thetawife) has some really great info on rental properties in Pensacola! I myself did some apartment shopping this past weekend and found that Austinwood has a 3 month waiting list... and a few of the other complexes were full. The Villages at Southern Oaks people kind of scared me...

Well, it's hard for you to know what to tell her because you're going through this for the first time yourself too, right? The best thing you can do is try to paint an accurate picture for her, not a fairy tale. Be honest and upfront with what you know. Then send her over to the private...

If I remember correctly, during Vietnam, she went to POW camps and essentially called our suffering POW's "baby killers" and told them they should be ashamed of themselves. These were our guys who were being imprisoned, starved and tortured, our own American flesh and blood, and she demeaned...

I got Ben that portable XM unit and he really likes it. It's the one that you can plug in to the home unit, the car, or you can just plug headphones into it and take it on a work-out. It's pretty neat and the reception is much better than what I expected. The guy at Best Buy said that Sirius...

Sirenia~ I'm sorry to hear this. :( I wish you luck in the future and hope that you remain in the PSC!

Ok, good advice. Does anyone know the name of the new complex being built? I figure I'll check it out among many other options...

Oh great, thanks for the input! I'll look into it. I'd like to find a complex near base for Ben's sake...

I'm being told by Austin Wood apartments in Pcola that there's a 2 to 3 month waitlist. For those of you who have experience with this complex, are their waitlist times pretty accurate? Did you get in sooner, on time or later than what they said? Thanks!

So what IS the current per diem rate for Ensigns in Pensacola? I've read $35 and $55 in this thread... can anyone clear it up?

First off, I am NOT an expert on this by any means, but I think it is true that if you're "single" then you have to live in the BOQ for API. I don't think they give you the option of living off base unless you're married during API. I could be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure that's how it...

http://www.navygouge.com/newstuff/ASTB_gouge/ASTB1.pdf That should be helpful as far as spatial apperception goes. Good luck! :)

I think they were removed because of some decency issues. I'm sure YOU had no issues with them though. :)

I think mine is definitely the most stimulating. I'm the real winner here. :)

As far as getting the PPL at our local navy base, that isn't really an option anymore, they closed it. I tried 3 years ago to get it. "Back then" it only costs $4000 to get one. Should have got it. :banghead_ stupid stupid stupid :weeping_1 I'm sorry to hear about you local Navy base...

Yeah, I second what Kathy said. Union Diamond is much more reasonable than any other site... even Bluenile. They're willing to work with you and meet all of your needs. Haha, I know I sound like an informercial right now, but Union Diamond is great! :)

Ok Patmack, if Ryan will accept my vote made at your request, I will give it to him. Ryan? Do you accept or decline?

Ok, I haven't given out my vote yet. I mean, how could I just quickly hand my vote out on something SO important?! So candidates Fly Navy and Patmack... which of you deserves my vote and why? :)

I'm not a huge fan of reputation points. I guess what bugs me is that too often, people give negative points for differences in opinion rather than genuine bad information.

Yeah, how much are they going for?
