Housing on base is decides somewhat by rank and by family size. Basically, there are seperate waiting lists for certain ranges of rank, which are then broken down by the number of bedrooms each family needs. Generally, the longest waiting lists are almost always for the lowest ranks. There are more air force members at the beginning levels and money is always an issue for young couples. Most bases have waiting lists to get housing that can be anywhere from a few months to over a year. You can contact the housing office for the base you are going to as soon as your husband gets his orders and find out the average waiting time as well as get an idea of how many bedrooms you may be entitled to and what types of units you will be eligable for.

good or bad depends on the base. But the Air Force is known for nice housing.

All on base housing is pretty much the same, unless you are the base commander. My father was in the AF my first 16 years of life and we lived on base for all but one year and really enjoyed it. Living on base is so much safer than off base, we never locked the door unless we went on vacation. If you have a large family then you will be a little cramped but I wouldn't worry about it.

This isn't about housing, it's about being new in the AF. I just wanted to let you know that if your husband has incurred any credit card debts while he was a civilian, the Service members Civil Relief Act will reduce his interest rate to 6%...sometimes even 0% as long as he's active duty. This does not only apply to those on reserve status called into war. It only applies to debt he incurred while civilian and has carried into active duty with him. Call your credit card companies and tell them you are now active duty. If they say it only applies to reservist or those called into battle zones, tell them politely they are wrong and they will look into it and see you are right.

Air Force always has the best of everything. Your husband is the bottom guy on the totem pole. So will his housing. The Air Farce spends more on golf courses than the Coast Guard spends on ships.

housing varies from location to location as well as what you are entitled to as far as family size. some will be horrific, some will be sweet. others will be barely adequate.
