My fiance is in the army and is leaving for FTX. Once he gets back, he will have leave, where we will be getting married during that time. Is there any way to apply for housing before he leaves or during leave because we have a set date? I expect not, so if that's the case, do you have any advice to find housing soon?
Also, can we file paperwork at another army base, or does it have to be his specific base that we go to for military IDs, paperwork for benefits, etc...?

okay you all talk about ''illegal'' immigration but I ask you a question its a yes or no answer!!!! how many of your past family members are native American??? If you are pure native american the you are the only true one who can be call an true and pure American. If not then your family immigrated themselves.

Another question: why did they immigrate??? was it for the so call ''American Dream''?

I know my family came over on the boats from Italy. One of the other parts jumped the boarder of Canada cuz they didn't want him to cross and the other was William Penn the settle who founded pennsilvania.

With this being said my family you can actually say is illegal just like yours!!!!!!
So look and research what it is before you open your tv watching sitting on your behind, only repeat what you hear from the media mouth and run it like you actually know something!

GET EDUCATED FOOLS!!!!!!

Fundamental assumptions:

1. Democrats are for Labor and Republicans are for Capital.

2. Illegal immigrants exist to provide cheap labor - that's what they are bringing to the table.

3. Cheap labor allows companies (Capital) to produce
products for maximum profit.

Why then do Republicans complain about cheap labor provided by immigrants. Don't they realize if we removed these laborers (if spaceships came and beamed them all up) that we would experience staggering inflation?

I think anything that the mudbags do, from here on out, is our fault, if we don't turn the middle east into a glass tabletop.

Most americans agree that it is unconstitutional to justify slavery, segregation, and the denial of the right to vote because of religion. why is it acceptable to deny gays the right to a happy marriage because of religion.

Opposition Leader Kevin Rudd says another referendum on whether Australia should become a republic will be held if Labor wins office in the next Federal Election.

Would you vote yes if this referendum was repeated? What would be your reason for doing so?

2 possession of cannibis(under 16 grms) and posession of a pipe(paraphernalia) with a minor theft charge under $300. I know that sounds terrible. I'm 26 and these offenses occurred 6-10 years ago. Immediatly after I caught these charges (all seperate) I served 45 days in jail and 28 days in rehab. Then I went to college for 2 years thereafter and got 34 credits. I haven't been in any trouble since then. Do I or will I ever have any kind of hope of be accepted for active duty? Is there someone to speak with other than a basic recruiter so I could better plead my case? Any info would be appreciated.

Why would anyone not support universal health care besides the health insurance corporations? How can we afford to let people suffer because they cannot pay for health insurance or are rejected by them? Shouldn't anyone in the United States have the right to medical care for free?

I just cannot understand why anyone wouldn't want this. I know there are A LOT of conservatives on this board so please enlighten me.

Where in the debate was the question asking the candidates if they felt it was fair to use their faith to justify the denial of marriage to gays and lesbians? The main candidate to answer was John Edwards, who went on to speak about the separation of church and state.

Chris Rock said, why not...we already had a retarded one.

Guys, guys...Mr. Obama is not black...he's beige. I mean, let's see, he takes the idea that he's christian because that's a good cause for the vote, mama brought him up christian. He takes the cause that he's black, but daddy was black and daddy was a strong muslim. (Strong lineage there). With whack like that...do you think Chris Rock should have said, "Another retarded president won't change anything"?

We know that Cheney will not be running. But let's say that he was, and he received the nomination.

And let's also say that Hilary Clinton received the democratic party's nomination.

Who would you vote for? And why?

A US presidents salary is about 450K/Year. that makes possible 3.6Million over 8 years and that to if you win the election in next round spending as much as your last bid.

Ok, so I was watching Brewster’s millions just now and great question came to mind as asked in the movie by Monty Brewster.

"why are they spending 10million for a job that pays 100K?, are they not going to spend next 4 years trying to get that money back by screwing the tax payers?"

Now let us look at the projected spending of the coming 2008 presidential election, moderate estimates put the sending by both republicans and democrats at over 2.5Billion Dollars.

And both have already spent over 500million in just the prelude to primary elections.

It's very interesting to know why or who people will vote for. There seems to be many problems that they are pressured to solve. Who is the best candidate and what can he or she do for the economy and the country.

With Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid threatening to keep the Senate in an all-night session over Iraq, it's worth considering what a Democrat win in the current legislative battle over Iraq would mean — and whether they really even want one.

Democrats celebrate, the troops are starting to come home, and then ... what exactly?
