So I'm about to graduate on the 25th of January from ft.benning. we are supposed to be pcsing to ft.stewart. my wife is just about to give birth on the 21st pf January and we have another son as well. Can anyone tell me what it's like to live on base as a new boot? I've heard you get a single home and I've also heard you get into a apartment complex. Any help is appreciated.

As far as housing, whatever is available at the time you inprocess and whichever YOU choose will be your quarters, if there's a house then pick the house, if there's only an apartment unit and you don't want it then you can wait but then now question is where you'll be staying while you're waiting - how long will you have to wait or willing to wait - it would be better if you guys start off living on post vs off post because of the summers and winters (don't have to pay for utilities unless you over use which would be extreme). Anywhere on post is still better due to the gate traffic you have to go through in the morning or anytime you need to go on post plus if you need to go home it's there.

Would love to help but it's been 32 years since I was at Ft. Stewart - best of luck!

January 25th will be my wife's and my 51st wedding anniversary. Housing etc doesn't get rough until you enter civilian life.
Congratulations on completing of Basic.
