    How long is your hubby's conversion training? They may meet each other if he is at Latchford Barracks, my other half does metal working as part of his training. We found out about our posting in March and we were *supposed* to leave in June so 3mths before your due to leave maybe? You get access to Homefind which allows you to look at housing in your posting locality via the net as soon as your AFR (application for relocation) is in to DHA. Are you moving to A/W or staying where you are until he gets posted on?

    LOL @ your DH, my hubby says the same thing all the time. He has been on deployment once before to Timor, way before I met him and he would have gone to Iraq the year our son was born (he was in the same Unit as Jake Kovco ) but he discharged and then reenlisted. He's happy to be a tradie now, not as much chance of deployment, he'd rather be watching our boys grow up instead of seeing pictures for 10mths at a time, which is why he quit the infantry.

    I am staying here for the conversion training (65 days) and once he gets a posting I will move. Our lease here expires in october so if i stay until mid september which is when we expect to get a posting, we wont have to break our lease too early. He doesn't know exactly where his training is but he knows it will be A/W. He will be doing Metal Smith so they have some decent chance to meet then
