I am a retired military spouse, my husband was in the Air Force for 22.5 years and our first base was in Germany but never got orders to Italy (which I had always wanted) but I don't regret overseas in Germany and also England. Enjoy being stationed overseas and take advantage of all the exploring and traveling...my closest friend is stationed at Aviano right now, they have been there for 3 years already.
I grew up in Niceville. For those who don’t know, that’s one of the towns that is just outside Eglin AFB. My family was not military, but I used to go over to my friends’ houses who were military. This was in the mid 90s for me. Military housing was double-wide trailers and single-wide trailers too. So glad they got rid of those because they were put in there in like the 70s. I don’t know who thought to put trailers for military housing in a base that gets pummeled by hurricanes several times a year.
Your house is so pretty! I love all the decor! Can’t wait to follow you on your journey to Italy. My husband is currently waiting for a ship date to bmt for the Air Force so super excited to get our journey on the way we plan on creating a TH-cam channel as well.
When I was at Ft. Meade we had a large hall closet and I kept the litter box and cat food there with a child gate. It kept it safe from the dog. I didn't cut a hole, they just hopped over the gate. I had Siamese and they were very svelte and athletic.
@@brittanyyycampbelll We are only on the list for Hurlburt. I’m fine with waiting for a bit longer to stay on this base because I love how close Josh is to work! Okay perfect! I was thinking that room would be best for our daughter and the other can be a nursery since it’s closer to the master. These houses are the same on both bases, right? They look like it
@@BBMcHugh I would wait it out too if you’re able to! When we first moved here we waited 2 weeks in TLF before our house was ready because we really wanted to be on base too! The houses are the same!
I’m coming from Aviano Italy to Eglin, I’ll be there in October! I heard on base housing is better just because of traffic and there’s a 2 pet rule. Aviano was my first duty station so I’m a lil nervous, but I’m from Tampa fl
We were at Eglin for 5 years & just got to Aviano last month! If you have any questions about the base/area feel free to DM on Instagram! Good Luck with your move!! 💛
@@brittanyyycampbelll hello I was wondering if you had any tips about PCS to Aviano it will be my first duty station and I will be coming with a family
My husband is looking into going into the reserves and so I’ve been trying to learn more about it too. We have two dogs how does that work with taking them? Ours are very well trained. Are you able to take them anywhere you go? Since you’re going to Italy will you be able to take them with?
We are moving there end of Oct/Early Nov, with a baby due in Dec. Beyond stressed is an understatement :( lol. I know the waitlist depends upon orders and rank; is the wait pretty long to get in? We plan on staying in the temp. lodging while waiting... but cant help being a bit worried we'll not have a home when baby gets here. 😥 P.S. Thank you for the awesome video! Major inspo/help for decorating base housing :)
Dear lady. How is life there? The houses are safe? Is there security there? There are no crocodiles that you come across when you go out to hang clothes ... you know what I mean ... these houses are Near the city? .. Is it necessarily an auto needed for the housewife and be able to reach the supermarket etc .. Doctor or everything is close? .. I will appreciate your answer. Thanks for your video.
As someone who grew up in poquito bayou in the early 2000s it’s insane to me how much they’ve improved the on-base housing. 😅 Poquito Bayou was the “cool” place to live at Eglin cause it was on the bayou, but now it’s al demolished and overgrown :(
Hi!! To answer you first question; depending on which housing you get you may or may not have a fence already installed. Warrior Landing the housing from the video these homes all come with fences installed already. Older homes known as Hidden Oaks, you may or may not have a fence. If you get a house in hidden oaks without a fence , yes you can install one! Your second question, yes you can install doorbell cameras!
Thanks. They told us they are building FGO housing so not even sure where that housing is on base. It's been hard to get much information, so I appreciate it.
@@philipschmelzer4394 hey! so the FGO housing is near warrior landing, probably about .50 away. we currently live in CGO housing waiting for the FGO housing to complete construction. they are nice with our own fences!
@@corbansmith641 that's awesome. We are #5 on the list so we are hopeful to get a house. Thanks for the info. It's really been difficult to get much. Hosuing office has been incredibly nice, just not given a ton of info.
Your house is so nice! As i’m sitting here typing in a tiny 2 bedroom 1 bath base housing, about to move into a SMALLER 2 bed 1 bath house across the country 🙄🙄 I truly envy the space you have 😂😂

That cat room shows that you are a caring person. Great tour! Thanks so much.
Thank you!! Our pets sure are spoiled!
@@brittanyyycampbelll I was gonna comment on how I love the idea!
@@StevenKell thank you! ☺️
Omg my daughter was stationed at Eglin for 5 years ....I LOVE FT WALTON...would be my dream place to live

Hi! Welcome to my channel💛 Thank you!! ☺️
When I was at Ft. Meade we had a large hall closet and I kept the litter box and cat food there with a child gate. It kept it safe from the dog. I didn't cut a hole, they just hopped over the gate. I had Siamese and they were very svelte and athletic.
Awwhhh that’s awesome! Our cat really enjoys having her own space ☺️
Haha girl I’m the same way! I’m not doing one until my house here is finished 😆😆 loved seeing this!
Ahhhh!! I can’t wait to see that!!🤩
i was there 73 to 74. Went back in 75 haven't been back since.
*me watching late* "IF YOU AINT CROCIN YOU AINT ROCKIN!"
You already know girl🤪
I’m hoping we get a new house offer soon! Thank you for this tour, it was super helpful!! Also, are the two spare bedrooms the same size?
Will you be getting on Hurlburt or Eglin? The two spare bedrooms are slightly different in size. The one I mentioned as guest bedroom #1 is bigger!

I showed my husband all of your throw pillows so he would think I’m not crazy because I’ve got so many too! And he said “y’all need Jesus 😂”
😂😂 Not to mention the ones on the couch & the ones packed away for Christmas lmaooo
@@brittanyyycampbelll yesss! 😂 I have so many that I’m thinking about getting some ice outdoor seating so I can put some on display outside 🤷🏻♀️
@@Thegirlwith6names Oh shoot, we have outdoor pillows too on our front porch😂😂 I really think I might count how many I have now
@@brittanyyycampbelll haha I’m interested to know how many you have! I’ll have to count mine after TMO drops it off after the move
Wow your house is just like ours, we’re on Hurlburt Field and they are literally the same 😂
We loved this house so much!

Question
Not sure if your husband is enlisted or an officer, but how did you get 3 bedrooms with no dependents besides spouse?
I was wondering the same lol
My husband is looking into going into the reserves and so I’ve been trying to learn more about it too. We have two dogs how does that work with taking them? Ours are very well trained. Are you able to take them anywhere you go? Since you’re going to Italy will you be able to take them with?
Are you able to purchase your own appliances like if you wanted to replace the refrigerator with your own ?

I am also married, I’m projected to be there around December 22, good luck with everything, housing is gonna be a big wait for sure😅.

Is this on Aspen? This looks just like the house we are living in right now 😅

Oh yeah! They demolished it back in 2018 maybe 2019, but I’m wondering what they’ll do with it now?
Hey! My husband was stationed at eglin from 2008-2017. We used to live on chinquapin..the oollllddd housing lol. Have they torn all of that down?
We are moving to Eglin in April. Two random questions. Do they allow you to put up a fence or a doorbell camera?

That house is huge! What was your husband's rank at that time?
He was an E-5 when we moved into the house, but those houses are for JNCO, E-6 & below ☺️
Thank you.
@@brittanyyycampbelll you said e-6 and below so does that mean an e-3 could live in a house like this as well if married?
@@davidkidwell3930 yes sir!
How much did the home cost? Did his pay cover everything?
What do you guys do for work? Just curious 😄
Is there still dog breed restrictions for Elgin AFB? I noticed that they are trying to change that, but not sure when that will happen.
Are the waitlists super long for on base housing im coming in September with a 2 month old an im terrified of not having a home
It truly depends {on a lot of different factors}. I would get on the waiting lists for base housing as soon as you’re able to!
I’ll be here soon
Enjoy your time!! It’s a great area☺️
We’re moving to Eglin and looking into living on post. Is this CGO or SNCO/JNCO housing?
This is JNCO
We are thinking of making Eglin our duty station. What is near by to do? And if you have any idea how is the area for kids?
Your house is so nice! As i’m sitting here typing in a tiny 2 bedroom 1 bath base housing, about to move into a SMALLER 2 bed 1 bath house across the country 🙄🙄 I truly envy the space you have 😂😂
We moved from a 2bd 1bth into this house & it was SUCH a nice upgrade. We’re definitely going to miss it😢 Where are you moving to?
@@brittanyyycampbelll Bremerton, WA!!
We are moving there in October! What is the name of your housing complex so I can put in a request for them please? 🙂
Warrior Landing!
Beautiful home 🥰🥰 please help me decorate 😂
Thank you!! My Instagram DMs are always open if you need help! ☺️
Love the home is it free to live on base?
It’s not free. The Active Duty Member gets a monthly allowance for housing!
