HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET ON  HOUSING IN WASHINGTON D.C. army base?
600640
how long it takes is based on his pay grade, the number of bedrooms he's entitled too and the availability of that size housing.  Wait lists can vary form 1 or two days to one or two years, it just depends on where you are and what's available at that time.

Here is a comprehensive report, "Housing in the Nation's Capital", primarily focusing on DC proper (rather than the Maryland and Virginia suburbs):\n\nhttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/metro/daily/nov05/FMFhousing.pdf\n\n"Last year, we reported on surging home sales prices in the Washington region and noted that homes affordable to lower- and moderate-income buyers mostly were limited to neighborhoods east of the Anacostia River in the District, Prince George’s County, and the Far Suburbs. The same patterns persist this year, with sales prices continuing to climb at stunningly rapid rates.\n\n...\nRenting becomes a more attractive option relative to the very high price of buying. The monthly cost of renting in 2001 was 82 percent of buying, but in 2004 it dropped\nto only 59 percent.\n\nIf you are considering buying, this link has maps of the whole region (DC, MD and VA), with average prices by zip code:\n\nhttp://www.metrorealestatepro.com/Nav.aspx/Page=%2fPageManager%2fDefault.aspx%2fPageID%3d1445270\n\nHousing market cooling:\nhttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/10/AR2005111002241.html

I went to Ft Jackson SC in modern buildings that have males and females in attached wings but mess hall is also in another wing. To make your bed you tuck sheets in tight and have hospital corners. Physical Training is about 2 hours a day starting at 0530 then you eat for 10 minutes then you shower, shave, brush teeth, and change uniforms. Classroom training for 2 hours (you do not want to fall asleep in there just see what your DI (Drill Instructor) will make you do. Weapons training on a firing range shooting targets up to 300 yds away. Wash your clothes at night road march on base and cattle car transportation in field over 10 miles from barracks. 6 weeks of the best training in my life and I lost 10 pounds. I also run the two mile in 15.30 no fraternizing in basic training but you wait until AT (Advanced Training ) which I recommend right after BT (Basic Training) when you are still in good shape. I served for 8 years in ARNG MN/WI then got honorable discharge. Be all that you can be.

I read that your hubby is in NC til June 2nd.  I take it he is at training down there in J-ville.  When he gets permanent orders (like any thing is permanant?!!), Go visit with him.  Go to the Housing Office.  His command should direct him their as part of his check in being how he is married.  If not, for the Navy it is either part of FISC (Fleet Industrial Supply Center) or FFSC (Fleet and Family Service Center).  The Marine Corp is part of the Navy, so the structure is similar in some ways. \n\nAnyways, You can get off-base housing and he should get extra money to pay for it.  You can also do on-base housing if it is available.  You don't pay for regular on-base housing, but some places have PPV (Private something Venture) which are homes that are subleased to the GOV for housing (money comes out of your paycheck like with off base housing that you sign for through the housing ofice).  Many bases are getting rid of on-base housing because it is getting really expensive to upkeep all those old buildings now.  \n\nAlso, if you have to move, most states have a law that allows military to get out of a lease if they are moving atleast X number of miles away under permanent orders.  Check into the state laws if you think you may ever have to break a lease. \n\nMake sure you are comfortable with the area you intend to move into.  Many bases have some bad areas around them (thugs think the service members are rich!!)  Talk to people at your hubby's command, the housing ofice, at the laundry matt, etc.  They will tell you where not to move.  Go to the area you think you will be interested in at different times of the day to include evening and late night-to see what really goes on there.  Go on a week night and a weekend night, too.  You can also pretend to want to buy a house-realators are good at knowing where not to go (i nobody else will help).  \n\nYou have like 10 or 14 days to live in a hotel for reimbursement (on your husband's order if you are a dependent).  His command may allow him 10 days of free leave for house hunting also.  Make sure he asks or it.  If he's new to the service, they most likely won't offer it to him. Good luck!

Have you talked to anyone in your shop?  There is always someone getting out a month ahead of you that knows a bit.  The SNCO's have delt with people getting out often and should know.  I still got a year, so I'm just starting to listen, but I do know that you've got to get to the VA 60 days out, so you will have to hurry on that.  Ask around.  There should be plenty of people that can not only give you the basics, but be able to tell you where to go and who to talk to.

I was in the home renovation line and to do up a house in 7 days is possible.\n\nYou have to work day and night, with a lot of willing crew, a hell of a plan and no sulky workers  :oD\n\nNormally in will take about 2 to 3 weeks for such project.

If you're in the service, I'd talk to your unit's admin rep. They'll be able to at least give some pointers. Some agancies can be entered while still on active duty. A temporary "on loan" or liason basis?  CIA/NSA for example sometimes use military intelligence personnel. The C.D.C. can borrow experts from USAMRIID.

I have 2 very dear friends who PCS'd there in April.  One chose housing at HAAF, and she loves it.  The other chose a home in Richmond Hills.  Both are very happy there and say there is always something going on, whether at the base or in Savannah.  Good luck\n\nGOD BLESS OUR TROOPS

It all depends on the attitude you go in with, as long as your are not cocky and you know from the beginning that they can't do physical harm to you no matter what they say and you remember that the 11 weeks will end it should be no problem.  It is only as hard as you make it.  I did my basic 20 years ago from July - September.  I will say it was the most rewarding experience I ever had in the Army.  The only physical training I suggest you do before you go is to run 2 to 3 miles per day in about 8 minutes per mile at the slowest and start working on your push ups.  If you choose to go in Best of Luck to you.

In the event a resident is transferred from the area on military orders or their active military status is terminated, the resident may terminate the lease agreement upon giving a 30-day or 60-day written notice to vacate the apartment to the management (which ever is required by your lease). In addition, a copy of military orders or termination of active status will need to be provided to management. If there was a concession given at the time of move-in, it may be required that the amount be repaid prior to moving out. Typically a move to military on-base quarters shall not be considered a military transfer. Your lease agreement should have some sort of military transfer clause.

Go to www.house.gov, or www.senate.gov, to contact your elected representatives or senators.  They can help you, but I warn you, they may send your request to the U.S. Army.  It's hard to say how long it will be before the Army will provide you the answer you need.

I don't remember how long it takes, but you will not get your residency at the time of the interview.  IIRC, it takes about one or two months after the interview for your residency permit to be processed.  You'll be fine.

Hi Randy how you been and no thers is no way you can check all they would do is tell you that you either on the waiting list or not and give you the waiting list number and how many people are ahead of you, contact your local housing authority or section 8 office for answers to these questions\n\nshantella

IF you ask 20 soldiers where their favorite duty station is you will probably get 20 diffrent answers. But if you are just trying to finish college, the answer is pretty much anywhere, there are education centers on most every installation with standard schools such as Central Texas, Oklahoma state and lots of online options, Best advice if you havent all ready signed up is to get your recruiter to take you to a installation somewhere and go talk to a counselor about the degree you want and see where those programs are offered. There are lots of rumors floating that the Army is going to a longer on station time something like 5 years or so, something about life cycle managment, currently I have not been stationed anywhere longer than 4 years. I gave some links that looked good in refrence to Army ed. programs. I did a evaluation on my military training and received over 50 credit hours, so that can help as well.
