Answer 1

you will be put on a waiting list like everybody else. its not the Army's responsibility that you have to move out from where ever you live now.

you can only make a complaint if your name wasn't put on the housing list, even though your hubby registered for it.

when you are on the list then all you can do is wait

Answer 2

dont know which army your husband is in,if the British army then contact the married families officer of his unit,also,if the Brit/army then check for empty married quarters where he is stationed ,the army does not have to provide a house and will often use the old ploy of there are none available which is the reason i suggested checking yourself for empty ones to use as reason to give you a home,if no success from the MFO then use the direct approach to your husbands C.O.,nothing stirs their *** more then an irate army wife,go for it.

Answer 3

umm it doesn't work that way. there is a waiting list for housing on base that is contingent upon his paygrade and Bedroom entitlement.

you will be put at the BOTTOM of the list since you are not a recent PCS in. that means everybody else on the list gets offered a unit fiorst. If there is a six month waiting list, then there is a six month waiting list. Unless you are EFMP in the proper category that automatically bumps you tot he top of the list due to severe medical need, you can't expect to just get a unit when you want it, especially under these circumstances.

He is entitled to BAH.. better start looking for an apartment. The housing office cannot and will not bump somebody higher on the list just because you are about to lose your current digs.

Answer 4

Your unit welfare officer can not say no as you are married therefore you are entitled to married quarters

Your hubby needs to speak to his chain of command asap

UWO are men just biding their time until they get their pensions

First call should be made via your hubby to his sgt .. ssgt or co or oc

You could try the hive for up to date information

You could also call up defence housing and see what is going on ..

There may be a shortgage of housing which may explain the problem

call your hive and they will give you all the contact numbers you require in order to process this

Also having had a bad experience once with a uwo you can make a complaint about him and this is followed through on a high level

Your husband has to make the complaint through his unit

good luck xx

Camp yourself in his office until it is sorted .. it is his job to sort it and if you have kids bring them with you too

Do not let him fob you off as this is what he is doing

Edit i think the army is full of ignorant old men who pose as uwo ...

We complained about one of ours and he was that bad he was removed from his post

Do not be bullied by this man and do not be fearful of him

Rember though what you do say will reflect back on your hubby so stay calm and take a nuetrual person with you

Get your hubby to start the process of making a complaint

okay as i am unsure of what rank your hubby is i suggest he takes it straight to his first nco who will then pass it along the chain of command

Make notes of conversations to collabrate what you are claiming

Also try talking to the welfare sgt


EDIT in the uk there is no waiting list for army quarters and every married personnel is entitled to one

re the rank thing here in the uk your house gets bigger the higher up in rank you are

I know numerous couples who have split up and a few months later got back together without any hassle

The problem here is her uwo who obviously does not know how to do his job

There are no waiting lists as there are enough houses the only problem may be there may be no houses in that area but the army deal with that by having an overspill area also if for whatever reason the over spill is full the army pay for you to live in private housing

her husband is entitled and the families officer is being a plonker

Answer 5

Stand in line and take a number... the name of the game is "HURRY UP AND WAIT"
Getting on base housing has to do with your husbands Rank, His Seniority, and your husbands military occupation and position..Don't take it personal..Go find another apartment that isn' t as expensive to live in....

Answer 7

Visit your local Families, Housing and Welfare (FHW) office. they should advise you and give you a good reason for why you haven't got a house.

Answer 8

HOUSIN ON POST TELLS YOU WHEN YOU SIGN THE FIRST TIME THAT IF YOU MOVE OUT FOR NO REASON YOU CAN'T JUST MOVE BACK IN. I DO NOT KNOW WHERE YOU ARE LOCATED BUT IN HAWAII THEIR IS A WAITING LIST OF ATLEAST 80 FAMILIES......

Answer 9
