While Matt was on deployment, his Supply Chief submitted the necessary paperwork to the barracks. When his ship returned (April 1st) most of them had a room waiting in the barracks. Matt did say there was a waiting list for all the barracks. I asked how long the wait was but he didn't know. If you Sailor is deployed, he needed to find out about submitting paperwork now.

OK my son thinks he can't do anything about the on base housing until they return from his first deployment. I don't think he minds living on the ship right now, but I know he is looking forward to getting his own place someday.

My son is an E-4 and Norfolk is his first duty station. He finished schools in San Diego last September and reported to Norfolk October 6. He was there for 3 weeks and then flown out to meet his ship in the Gulf. He returned from the Gulf April 1st and just got moved into the barracks. He waited for the new barracks to open up from April 1st until last weekend. I have no idea how off base housing works. But your son can ask his Chief.

Do they have to wait for a certain amount of time before they are allowed to move off the ship and into other housing?

Jenna: my son is in Norfolk and just moved into the brand new barracks near the golf course. He loves it. Has your son looked into getting on the list? Have him ask his chief about it.

Kay, great news!! What ship did she get assigned to in Norfolk?
Comment by Dianne on May 8, 2009 at 7:52pm
YAY Joline!! That's great!!

When my son was in A school in San Diego, they went to the Zoo, Sea World, Knott's Berry Farm, they worked the local Air Show, did community service. I'm sure all bases have lots of things to keep their sailors busy.
Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on May 5, 2009 at 2:23pm
April, I know how disappointed a lot of our Sailors are about not starting their schools as soon as they'd like. It has to be hard on them. Remind your son that he's at least collecting a paycheck while he's on hold. Oh, there was a backlog on A schools long before the budget cuts. It's the usual, "the needs of the Navy".....

Hi Julie, yes Tim is loving ship life. He is very happy in the navy. I think he gets a little lonely on the weekends, because most everyone on his ship lives either in base housing or apartments, but he keeps in touch with some of his friends from A school. He also loves having his car.
