Oh good Brooke...just make sure there's a "military clause" in the lease....protect yourself, so if he gets PCS orders you can break the lease....some landlords don't put that it. I've read horrible stories on the Norfolk group...well, that's mainly why the lease need to be authorized...Good Luck!
That's good to hear CountryGirl. I forgot to ask about the last package, we were mainly planning his travel home for his chit.

I have a quick question, I have a lease for an apartment that asks for my husband's command address and phone number, I of course emailed my husband and asked him but I was wondering if there were somewhere else I could find this information so I don't have to wait around for his reply? Or is this just something I need to wait for him to answer? Thanks in advance.

When are they due to get test results? I remember seeing something a few days ago that it would be in two days but don't remember the exact date. Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving to all you Navy Mommas and families!
