My husband is currently stationed in Korea and will be home in a few months. He just got orders to Fort Hood and I’m beyond confused. My biggest concern right now is when should we start looking for a house to rent because we don’t want to live on post. Should I go down there without him and try to rent one before he comes home or when we actually leave for there do we stay in a hotel while we try to find a house?

I am new to this whole thing as well. my fiance is in Ft. Benning and his turning blue and graduation is june 7th and 8th, then he will beable to come home. He got stationed in Vilseck, Germany. The plan is for us to get married and for me to move with him, but i have no idea anything to expect or what to do, and neither does he. Any thing would help.
thank you,
Kelly

It shouldn’t take long simply because they use a company in your area that is contracted with them. It could be a week or two but just for reference be prepared for anything with the Army.

I have a question. My husband went from his school to his first duty station on April 8. His unit was starting deployment training so he didn’t move anything down. We got married on july 5 and he amended his orders to include me. His seniors told him that they would move my stuff down with his since he hasn’t done his home of record move. I’m moving his stuff down in a month before he returns home from the deployment. Is this true that they will move my stuff down with his?

Idk where I fit in but my husband is currently in Fort Richardson, Ak and has been there since Feb. 21,2011. Our children and I were not on the orders because we needed command spoonsorship. We’ve done everything on our end and he even has his ammended orders BUT we have no idea how to make things happen. He never has the time to make appointments. WE had no time to prepare for this move, he got his duty station and orders literally the last week of Airborne school…this is our first duty station..How does he get time to take care of us and his paperwork?? We are clueless…

Me and my boyfriend just got married after he finished AIT. His orders say “without dependents” how important is it that we get his orders amended? And where would we go to do that?
