Hi, Yea the paychecks Im sure! But also Im sure for him too, work related. Where we live right now, is where he has to go to school next year. But we are moving in Aug to Ca. At work they tried to get the date pushed back bc he's being looked at & probably a very good chance at getting it. But guess with the fiscal year in Oct, that wasn't a possibily. Which stinks, bc that'll be two moves in a very short time! Be in Ca for about 4-5 months, then he'll have to come back here where we live now for school from jan-march '15. Then move again! Lol oh well, just gonna enjoy the travels! Thanks for replying!
Yea not really looking forward to moving twice, would be nice to just stay where we are (& even onbase housing!) let him go to school, then move us. We are in VA, so driving cross country to CA! Where we're going now, guess they need him there, as an E6, but once he becomes officer, guess with changing, they'd need him somewhere else? He said yea, so oh well. We too have never moved like this either, I cant see how with everthing the military can do, whats the harm in letting us stay here until March '15? instead of doing two moves, paying for that twice.
It is what it is! Lol
Also, in the Navy, the commissioning is staggered. So when my husband got selected, he had to wait a year and 3 months before being commissioned because he was at the bottom having only been in 8 years and an E6.

Quoting SlapItHigh: In the Navy, if you have an officer application being considered, you can't execute orders until the results come out? This prevents the situation you are describing with having to move a bunch of times.

Warrant is a completely different ball of wax. It depends on what field he is getting into (warrant's are more like experts in their field than leaders of troops). He will probably have a lot of schools at first and a lot of extra demand on his time (for studying and stuff). But in the end, in my opinion, Warrants are some of the best jobs in the military. Also they are some of the hardest to get.
Good Luck ! Hope your hubby gets it!
As for my background knowledge, I was Army for 9 years and my Hubby is still active Army.
I'm so over this weather!
