Just out

[Lynlou394]

So glad to hear that it went well. I'm 29, married with kids and was able to choose the rate I wanted and am shipping out at the end of the year. And I absolutely cannot wait to get started.

I was wondering since you joined married and with kids, that you may be able to offer some insight on how that is, now that you are out of your school.

I'll be at A and C school in Virginia for over 6 months and my husband and I are considering them waiting to move with me until I have my permanent duty station. That way my husband can continue with his work and get ready to hopefully be able to work remotely and so the kids are not having to move and get settled in multiple schools in one year.

So my questions are:
1. Did your family move with you to your A school?
2. Do you live in the barracks in this circumstance or are you able (or should you even consider) getting a small place of your own so your family can stay with you when they come to visit.
3. How has it been being separated from your family during boot (and after)
4. How is it acclimating to the navy being older and coming in at a lower enlisted rank?
