Is there single month furnished apartment rentals in Ft Lee area?

Basically, I'm probably going to drag my family with me to Reserve Captains Course (two sets of 2 week orders broke by a few days in between). So my orders wont support putting them up in the Ft Lee hotel (let alone the dog). I played this game before at Ft Lee BOLC and even arranged for my first kid to be born there in Richmond while I was in BOLC on USAR orders. But I was helped by BAH (helped a lot actually), and that was 4+ months (basically stayed out there nearly 6 months), and I just straight up got an apartment and furnished it via a 3+ month lease.

I'm just testing the waters here with the RP community for potential similar experiences with CCC.

Worst case I eat hotel costs. Second worst maybe I find an Air-BNB.

just curious as to why you'd uproot your family for 4 weeks?

Air BnB would be your best option. I haven’t been in the Ft. Lee area since 2004 but there ain’t much to do in that area beside the crater from the civil war. But having the family along is priceless!

With a little time looking around on Air BNB it looks like I do have quite a few options. Ironically, I should have done this for BOLC as well.

Just sharing knowledge:

I was told by my Branch Manager I can do the Reserve CCC Phase 1 and Phase 2 courses in different fiscal years. Not ideal, but it is a pathway.
