Sharon
quote:Sharon is a military brat (her dad has served in the Marine Corps for 28 years) who easily adapts to any situation
But she did say recently that her father did the moving around so the family could remain in one place mostly..

the only thing i can remember her saying is that she moved around a lot as a kid and her dad just purchased his first home.... if he was in the military, then housing would be furnished...

not necessarily, Rebel. You are not always furnished housing in the military.

My parents bought a house for us to live in wherever we were stationed. From having friends in the military over the last many years, I know that if there is no base housing available the military pays you a housing allowance determined by the area you are stationed in and you are expected to find housing with that amount of money. The money does not always cover the going rate. Some were transfered from here to CO where there was a huge housing crunch and the money they were given barely covered half of the cost of what they could find. So, it all depends. I do know the housing they provide here is extremely nice compared to many places from what they've told me.

I was in the Navy for over 10 yrs and the only place I was furnished housing was on Guam. I had to find my own place in Italy, Va, Ca.

Maybe different arms of the military do it differently. I grew up in the Air Force. We never lived on a base because parents always bought a house. I have no idea what they did or didn't provide. My friends who reported the above info to me were in the Army. I've been in many of the housing units here and they are very nice.

We had military housing the 10 years my husband was in the service. Very nice homes. I guess depends on what branch?

My friends who transfered to CO said the housing was awful and the civilian market was insane. One said the allotment wasn't half what the worst places were renting for. She ended up having to buy a house to get anything decent.

There is a lot of military here and they said the waiting list for housing could be years, so most new people have to find houses out in the civilian market for their families.

I'm not sure what's going on here as there was a huge amount of housing put inside the back gate of Ft. Wainwright several years ago. Very nice too. Then about a year of so ago they redid the fencing to put them outside the back gate and now they are available to the general public at a very high rate IMO. My friend who has recently moved here from Mississippi was put into housing way out of town but has since been provided housing on base as the water supply where she was is bad. She said it was very plush out there though; nice hardwood floors, etc. The water had arsenic in it and I think she has a good lawsuit against them. It's been known for years there was arsenic in that water. Anyway, she was moved into some brand new housing on base but I haven't seen it yet.
