Defence Force Families #2

thats strange Choc, we have had ours since the start of July, and I thought they were meant to be out by the end of July?
We thought we had an amazing house lined up, nice big semi detached with a good sized yard in Chifley...... heard another girl was leaving so we rang up DHA to reserve it but its been taken out of the housing pool for contract renegotiation Soo..... hanging out and waiting again..... Not sure if we are going to be able to start TTC...... I've found out that Royal Womens Birth Centre wont take referrals without a fixed address even though we offered to provide them with a copy of our posting order to Randwick
MelbourneMumma, I figure they have houses they arent putting up on homefind...... Also ive been told that alot of the RB2 houses in that area (the ones with yards) are RB2 because they have more room (ie 4 bedrooms) but we are only entitled to a 3 bed, so that might be limiting what we see too. I know its early on in the game yet but I want to get the address sorted so that we can start TTC without any worries.
I also would like them to stop putting up gorgeous apartments of our homefind that specify no pets! Its really just teasing us because we have already told them we have pets and need a yard lol. Im sooo excited for sydney, I was there for 6 months a few years ago and absolutely loved it!

Where is everyone posting too? Love or Hate the idea?

Our posting isnt up until 2014 so this is our first year of our time in Townsville but DH is looking at transfering into the RAAF so we could be posting out again next year if it all goes through and they dont need us here.

Choc, definitely frustrating when you have school to organise! Im dreading having to search for private schools with 5 minutes notice of posting and without housing allocation.

They allocate postings being released in order of rank and job position, and sometimes locality, so there really is no set time, its just between July-December.
