By “re-submit for base housing would take weeks”, I assume that the wait list is several weeks, because applying for base housing only takes a few minutes at the housing office.
I suggest your daughter go to “http://www.militaryonesource.mil/"; to check out the housing situation on base. Some bases post lists of available base housing on the internet. She should also browse the base website, since it will have a list of some of the services available on base and links to other resources (like military one source).
During duty hours, she should definitely go to the base housing office. People there will be able to help her understand the options.
In addition to on-base housing, the base housing office will have lists of available apartments in suitable areas. They do try to steer young service members away from the less-desirable parts of town.
Believe me, there is no shortage of advice/assistance to help young military people and their families! The services do not want to let any of their members slip through the cracks.
Thanks for the link. I’ll send it to her. They have found an apartment complex in Oceanside where some of his married Marine buddies live.
