Your orders will allow you to bring your family to Pensacola. Either you will get PCS orders to Whiting with NAS Pensacola as an I-stop in which case I would just get a place in NE Pensacola near the malls and UWF (Pensacola is retarded and spreadout such that everything that is not a Wal-Mart is next to each other) that way you are 30 minutes to either NASWF or NASP. In addition to 6 weeks for API you will also have about 6 weeks of IFS, plus at the very least a week or two of getting other stuff like NAMI done. If they don't give you follow-on orders to Whiting you will probably get open orders to NASP in which case you will get per-diem and can still bring your family.
Good Luck!

I would not call that wasting time.. Now being a pack mule for the latest trip to Layne Bryant and Ashley Stewart, THAT is a waste of time.
MB, if you don't go to Lane Bryant, where else are you going to find a set of AWGs that fit you?

Oooh.. Phrogburn.. I thought only AV-8 and Skid types got that..
Trust me, my good man, that was NOT Phrogburn. :icon_smil
A few guys hinted at it, but I just want to make sure you know that nothing in the pipeline (except API if you don't get rolled) is a fixed number of weeks. To give you an idea, I reported to Pensacola on 5 Jan, started IFS toward the end of February, classed up for API on 30 Mar, reported to the wing on 14 May, and classed up at the squadron on 8 Jun. To that point my roommate and I had all the same class up dates. I finished right before Thanksgiving; he won't finish until mid January at the earliest. Luck of the scheduling draw was smiling on me. I also don't start the tailhook syllabus until the end of January. Don't count on things moving as fast as they are "supposed to". I am not married, but I would venture to guess that while you are pooled (and you will be, probably numerous times) you will wish you had your family around. You can never get that time back. Good luck with your decision and your training.

You delaying your move to lovely Krock until after the holidays? (I would)
I'm one of those people phrog's talking about... the non-prior E who got married (during primary) and had a kid (advanced) during flight school.
Not really bad life planning. Not necessarily the best time to have a kid, but when is?
I'll tell you what though, mini-Bubba came along a a time that looks like its going to work out perfectly for the wife's grad school plans. As far as my career plans, who knows... but by the time I get out to an operational squadron, he'll be almost 18 months and more able to help himself. In my opinion, if you;re planning on making the military a career, there's really never a good time to have kids.
Basically what I'm getting at is just cuz ENS/2ndLT Schmucatelli decides to get married and have a mini-me during flight school doesn't make it bad life planning.
/rant, off soap box, Bubba out.
