Camp Lejeune

Anyone stationed out at Camp Lejeune? My hubby and I are relocating there in the next month or so and I would love to meet some wives and moms to hang out with! And if you have any tips on base housing on or off please let me know  

We are not in the military, but I just wanted to say that we were right near there when we were on vacation this year (we went to Emerald Isle). It seemed like it wasa nice place to live.

Yeah we have heard alot of good things about the area so I am really looking forward to it cause we are stationed in 29 Palms right now its in the middle of the desert. it gets like 120 seriously like walking into an oven outside its terrible. So i am going to be really glad to get out of this place!

I used to live in jax and I loved it! Definitely a marine town but its a really great place to live!

YAY! Yeah I am kinda nervous about it lol

Hey! I don't live in Jacksonville, but we are stationed at Cherry Point, so I am only about 45 minutes away! We just PCS'd here from 29 last month! I haven't been to Jax, but I can tell you this much, from everything I've seen, NC is much less CRAPPY than good ole 29. Bleh, I hated it there so much.   Ughhh! Anyhow, I am not toooo far from you, so maybe some time we could meet up or something! Good luck with the PCS. It sucks, I know. lol

Oh wonderful so you know exactly what we are going through! I cant wait to get outta this place. It sucks so bad its been terribly hot and i feel bad cause i want to take my son out and about but its too hot out to do anything! Grrr..... i cant wait to get out there, and that definitely sounds like a plan! Maybe we can do some shopping or something.

Oh yeah. I definitely know what you're going through out there. I hated that damn place and I was luckily only there a few months. Do you have Facebook or Myspace? If so, join some groups for Lejeune Wives on there, or even Yahoo Groups. Ask the ladies on there about what housing they have. What is good and what isn't? That's what I did, and I am VERY happy with our housing. It is GREAT!

That is the link for the on-base housing which is run by the same company who runs our housing. So I hope that helps you out at least some. Also, if you want to live on base and you find out which housing area you want, call the housing office and see if you can fax in your documents to get on the waiting list BEFORE you get there. That's what we did and we got a house the day we got here instead of having to wait 2 weeks or more like we would have otherwise.

It gets hot and humid here, but it's not miserable like 29. And it's so nice to have GRASS in our yard. And real trees!
