Are there any family activities there, or a church group?
I just moved myself and found that taking walks in the evening with the kids really helped, especially since it's been so hot outside.
I'm not sure about life on base, but there must be somewhere where the other wives go or hang out. Finding out where that is may just be your only obstacle!
Good luck and many blessings!

Knock a few neighbor's doors and explain you're new to the neighborhood and would like to get acquainted with your neighbors. Invite them for coffee at McDonalds or perhaps your house.
If you opt out of doing the above just be sure to wave and say hello to your neighbors when you see them out, and maybe squeeze in some conversation about the weather or gossip about that lazy Mail Man..., just whatever seems convenient to make a quick discussion.

Go to Church, go to a playgroup, take a class. Most people arent friends with their neighbors these days. We have come upon times where people just keep to themselves, and barely say hi, or acknowledge eachother.

If you just moved in, have an open house and invite the people who live around you. Serve light refreshments and enjoy talking....it worked for me.

You can ask your husband to ask around ( to the other military ) who has kids the same age of yours and invite them one Saturday to play with your kids, i`m sure they will go, and you will have time to meet their moms.

Knock on their door and introduce yourself, maybe invite them over for dinner.
