biggrin New housing and a dog? Sounds like that worked out. Know what kind you want to get?

I know this is off topic, but since you brought it up...how do you like on-post housing? ninja

I've always wanted a Border Collie or a Golden Retriever. So, one of those. lol

When we first moved here, we lived off base. It wasn't pleasent. BAH was only enough to cover rent. Which was $400 for a one bedroom, one bathroom place. I never felt safe and our landlord was a butthead. He only came once to fix our sink after I called a million times. The landlord never came out again to fix anything.

After moving on base, a lot changed. We were no longer stressed out because we had less bills and more money to spend for fun. I feel safer, because I know if there is a problem, the military police will be here in a snap (small base). We do not worry about electrical bill, water bill, trash disposal bills or anything like that. We've been real lucky with neighbors. Both our neighbors have really young children and are very quiet.

I love living on base, but everyone is different.

Our BAH just barely covers the rent as well and with how energy efficient everything is around here [ rolleyes ] the electric bill is killing us and we're good about trying to conserve. I've been trying to get Chris to move on post at the next place when we PCS in May so we don't have to worry about utilities. Anyone I ask either loves it or hates it. I can't seem to find a middle ground when it comes to on-post quarters and how people feel about them.

Oh I love Golden retrievers! =o So pretty. I'd like one when we get a dog in the future. I'm terrified of dogs, but any golden I've met has always been well behaved and I'm not scared of them. You'll have to post pictures when it happens. 4laugh

It is usually one way or the other: You hate it or you love it. I think it highly depends on your neighbors. lol

My parents lived on Base the first time they lived in Germany and the housing was pretty nice. They used to be German housing though.

I've seen naval housing and I've seen the army housing on Fort Meade.

The naval housing was much nicer. At least in the area I was in. Everyone got their own little house. Not connected to another house.

Totally not the case at Fort Meade though. Though the house I went to at Fort Meade would have been a lot nicer if the people living there had taken better care of it.

You would not BELIEVE how much this topic sounds like it's coming from my sister. She is going through the EXACT same thing as you.
I wish I could give you some advice... has he been continuing to claim that he didn't commit to that??? It's really not fair to you... Why does he get to call the shots??? This should be a mutual agreement
