Any Navy wives out there?

Erin, that is awesome that he was picked up for the Officer Program! Congrats to both of you! You know we have friends who just moved to Offut AFB, although he is Air Force. I see that your surgery is soon, and I wish you the best! If you need anything, or have questions, don't hesitate to email me. Eileen

Thanks Eileen! I will check him out. I have my consult tomorrow with Dr. Marley, but God knows I don't want to wait 2 years! Yes, we are at Pax!

Well, I talked with Jan at WRAMC and she put me on the list, but yes the wait is 2 years! Eek. So....she referred me out on the economy and I have an appointment in just over 2 weeks to see Dr. Cook, who is a new doc doing the surgery with Dr. Kirkpatrick and Dr. Fenelli at WHC. I have gotten a head start and had my PCP put in the consult for a lot of the tests I know he's going to want. I had my EKG and chest x-ray today. I guess I am on my way.

Congrats to you and your husband! Officer life is a far cry from enlisted! It has both its pros and cons. As the granddaughter of a 'high raking Army Officer' I can tell you that there are many things that will change for YOU. Not just your husband. Just stay true to yourself and you should be just fine .

Another Navy wife! Hubby on sea duty in Mayprt FL and currently in the gulf somewhere. Less than a year left then he's back on shore duty! Yeahhhhhhh! I also work for the Navy. Take care!

Hi Eileen, My husband is active duty Navy stationed in Dahlgren, VA. He is to retire in 2 years and 18 days!!!!! (20 years) Lisa White Valley, AL Surgical consult 3/22/04

I am a Navy wife who just moved from So. Maryland to Point Mugu, CA. Lisa ~ I lived right by Dahlgren and my house shook when they would do their testing/training. My dh also has 3 years left in the navy until he retires. I have been wanting WLS for a while now, but I am affraid that tricare will not cover it. I just arrived here to Point Mugu, and have not yet picked out a PCM. I have a lot of spine problems, so I am hoping that WLS won't be a problem to get approved. Any suggestions would be great from you ladies. Misty

Hi Misty! Were you guys stationed at Pax? I live in So. MD!

Hi Lee, No we actually were stationed at Andrews AFB, but we built our own home in Mechanicsville and we loved it there! When dh came up for orders, he tried to get Pax so we could keep our home, but there were no billets open for him. I did all my shopping at Pax and in California (town). How long have you been stationed there??
