i love what you said about military wives going through the same thing. had my baby in july but me and my fiancé were not yet married so when he got his first orders to leave literally a month later i was crushed! it was so hard but yes the baby will definitely keep you busy. i also decided to take some real estate classes so that also kept me busy. he came home this past holiday and it was amazing and we ended up eloping. he's going to be finished in less than 3 months then we will be moving with him once he gets his next duty station. so many feelings but im mostly anxious and excited
My husband and I are on the same base. It’s crazy how similar all the housing looks. Girl I know the struggle when it comes to making friends out here! There’s literally nothing near by
My husband just retired after 20 years in the Air Force ... transitioning to civilian life is not easy lol Enjoy your travels ... Thanks to your husband for serving. Vlogging is helping me adjust a little... basically keep me busy. I suggest volunteering when you can... it helps meeting new people and friends. I’ve got 5 kids..: I used to bring them where I can ... I love volunteering and being involved in the military community. Try it out!
My husband is leaving to basic this Sunday and I AM NOT READY FOR IT! I understand how you feel when you said “ a lot of military wives have gone thru it” but at the same thing it doesn’t make it easy ! We have never been apart for longer than a day or two and I know it’s going to be hard especially on our son 😞
That looks like military housing they all look the same almost the same everywhere my husband just retired after 21 years also ...and I am so happy with the civilian life I could do stuff now.. Thank your husband for serving and take care of that beautiful family of yours love the video
Yea if everything goes as planned. The same mouth I give birth is when I need to move from a friends house into my apartment while I wait for my husband to finish job training school, THEN move again to where ever we are being shipped to, but then our baby will still be less then a year old. I am not sure if my husband will be deployed as soon as his done with school or be able to come home but its going to be about a year before we can live together again. So it will be me and the baby, just grateful I have my mother to help me. This will be my first ( and only maybe) child.
My husband and I have been on the waiting list for housing at our base for months now! We’re staying at a hotel nearby but wow, I feel for you! Can’t even imagine doing it with a newborn, you are incredible!
I know this video is old but gosh that would be so hard especially because your still probably super hormonal from just delivering a baby!! Hopefully things are better just found your channel! My husband just got home from a deployment in April and he left when my son was just born so I feel you in this video !
Girl..I cant imagine how stress you must've been during PCS plus a new born baby. My husband just got out of the military and his out processing was stressful for us as well and we don't even have kids. So I can only imagine to all those military families that have to go through plus deal with kids. We also did the do it yourself move but we also ran into some complications with reserving the truck and our move out date. The moving company was so booked the month we were suppose to leave and wasnt available till the next month after so we had to extend our apartment lease for one month which luckily they were okay with it. As our moving date got closer we havent received a confirmation on our truck so we kept bugging the moving company about it and luckily they came the weekend we were leaving. It is definitely stressful moving. But I hope all is well, and your guys future moves becomes more easy! Here's our video of our moving phase: th-cam.com/video/XL88CwfUzbo/w-d-xo.html
Moving is such a stressful process! I would hire people to move my stuff, but I'm also a control freak and want to make sure everything is packed nicely lol
You are lucky you got a garage. Most bases don't have garages or fenced back yards. Other than those two things it looks like a pretty typical military house.
Hey! I know this video is old but my husband and I will be PCSing there early next year. What place did you guys stay at on base while waiting for housing?
Just came across your video. My family is pcsing across the country soon and I’m soo not excited for all the struggles 😅 also your house looks just like our first house here at Pendleton!
I’m currently pregnant and my husband is leaving for Basic training at the end of November 😭 I’m nervous for all of the same reasons you are ! The baby will be here when he gets back then we move but I’m super nervous to be alone . Totally understand where you’re coming from . I also need a c section so that’s the scary part !
I live in military housing. Our doors dont close, they're made of cardboard. After living here for about a month, the black mold started to show itself. It's been the worst experience of my life unfortunately. I hope others have a better experience. Be well and God bless
Im nervous about some of the situations youre talking about since my SO is starting to be a marine now. If I found out that someone like you lived on base with me and wanted company and help especially when having a new born, I would love to help out. Im nervous of feeling alone if we have to move alot and him going on deploiments and stuff :/
It is very nerve-wracking and what I've learned as a military spouse is that you're milso friends become your support system. They are the ones who really understand the struggle and pain that comes with the military lifestyle. Put yourself out there, go to socials, get involved, and stay busy! I hope this helps :)
I'm moving exactly where you are in two weeks lol, I'm interested to see how it is. I know its literally in the middle of nowhere so I'm worried about that.
i have a question ! when you first moved to the first military base did you bring your car with you or get a new one out there ? i wanna know like if they help with the shipping cost for the car or you have to do that on your own ?
We brought our car with us to the new base :) I know some people will sell there car and get a new one if they are moving cross country, some will drive their car cross-country, some ship their car. Personally, we were only moving about 2 hours to the new base, so we just drove it there. In regards to shipping costs, I'm not sure if they reimburse. You may have to ask DMO/TMO when you go through the PCS process
When you had to stay in the hotel while you were waiting for housing did they pay for it or was that on you? Also, doing the “do it yourself “ move, how did it work with reimbursing? We are about to get our first PCS and I have no idea what to do or expect...!
They paid for the first 10 days and the rest was out-of-pocket. Luckily, the BAH kicked in so we had that to pay for the rest of the time in the hotel. Make sure to keep ALL receipts, gas/restaurant receipts, tolls/weigh stations, rental truck contracts, storage contracts, basically every piece of paperwork you get during your your DIY move. You will need to gather the forms that are needed fro reimbursement and make sure everything is filled in correctly. Also, try to stay under your weight allowance because if you go over, you will have to pay out of pocket and they will only reimburse you up to the allowance I believe. Be sure to check with DMO! Hope this helps!
Let’s say I got married July 13th . If I provide proof how long does it takes for then to approve me for housing ? If it’s no waiting list . Can I move in housing same day I get married?
I'm not completely sure if you can get housing the same day that you get married. It all depends on you getting your paperwork and information in the system so that your spouse can claim you as a dependent. Also, your spouse would have to go through a short process of transitioning out of the barracks - going from the bachelor enlisted quarters/officer quarters to requesting basic housing allowance (BAH). On top of that, if you apply for housing, there still may be a wait time if they still need to make repairs and maintenance on the house for you to move in. This is just from personal experience, but definitely talk to your spouse for more info! Hope this helps!
The Army and Marines are the worst branches of the military to join because they accept almost anybody that applies....bottom of the barrel. I’m currently a Major in the Air Force and I speak from experience. The average IQ in the Army and/or Marines is probably below the retard level.

Hi, I’m a military spouse as well. Our last PCS was a nightmare lol hoping the next will be better. We are hoping we get Hawaii next. Also new TH-camr here and I subbed to you if you wouldn’t mind checking out our channel. 💜💜

Tristin Elizondo I'm a child and my dad left for 9 months he deployed
😢😢😢
PCSing can be so overwhelming! Great video!
It’s crazy that I recognize the base you’re at, by the housing. We were recently there.
Had my son a week ago motherhood is stressful but rewarding
I loved the outro 😭👏🏽
That looks like military housing they all look the same almost the same everywhere my husband just retired after 21 years also ...and I am so happy with the civilian life I could do stuff now.. Thank your husband for serving and take care of that beautiful family of yours love the video

Omg I recognize the base you’re at and I’m actually moving there in a month and a half!
The best thing about being in the middle of nowhere are the friendships and close-knit community ;D
God I miss these days. Its been 14yrs, and it all feels like yesterday. 29palms from 03-06
I’m wondering about base housing and how would I even do this. It’s super small...
Oh my gosh this video is everything i was looking for I’m actually pcsing with my husband to 29 in two weeks!

Cindy LaTruce same lol cause I heard stories that the movers aren’t gentle with your stuff. But apparently they reimburse you for whatever is broken
"Middle of no where" I already know where you guys are going 😂 we're going there in a couple weeks
😂😂 Welcome to paradise!
@@CindyLaTruce95 we're driving from Quantico I'm dreading it 😅 but we were at CP before and I miss the weather!!
@@CindyLaTruce95 we called it hell in the sand 🤣
We’re moving out to 29 at the end of this month. My question is is that housing area Adobe Flats 1??

You’re outro is so cute😂

You can do it mama! No one prepares us for this life, but it really makes us stronger as individuals. xoxo :)
Lots of love hunny! ❤❤ You can do this!
I’m in the same boat... plus I’m a teen so it’s really hard
How did it go I’m in the same boat right now baby will be a week or 2 weeks old when we move
Where are you guys stationed? 😊
Wow mama you are strong 💪

How do you go about getting the house
We live in this exact same house now. The downstairs bathroom doesn't lock >:(
Also this place feels haunted
I'm moving exactly where you are in two weeks lol, I'm interested to see how it is. I know its literally in the middle of nowhere so I'm worried about that.
It's actually starting to grow on me lol *one year later*
Did you receive these missing fees or thats normal in the military ??
could you maybe do a video on couponing? baby #2 is due in march and hoping to only have one baby in diapers but one can only hope!
Ohhhh video idea ;D

Are you in Arizona? My fiancé is at Yuma!
Once my husband finishes his MOS schooling, and gets his permanent base, will I be able to move in with him ?
I want to know this as well!
Moving is stressful
Let’s say I got married July 13th . If I provide proof how long does it takes for then to approve me for housing ? If it’s no waiting list . Can I move in housing same day I get married?
I'm not completely sure if you can get housing the same day that you get married. It all depends on you getting your paperwork and information in the system so that your spouse can claim you as a dependent. Also, your spouse would have to go through a short process of transitioning out of the barracks - going from the bachelor enlisted quarters/officer quarters to requesting basic housing allowance (BAH). On top of that, if you apply for housing, there still may be a wait time if they still need to make repairs and maintenance on the house for you to move in.

What branch of military is your husband in? My fiance is enlisting in the navy after we are married
Marines :)
