JBSA is great for family, I’d get with housing ASAP and accept what is available and do an inter-post transfer once a more suitable home opens up. Overall very convenient, safe and excellent schools, I live on post at Fort Sam and my family loves it here. There has been a lot of scrutiny with on post housing and Lincoln Military has been very friendly and accommodating with issues.

You don't know where your phase two will be at until 120 days prior to training start date when you'll receive orders for your phase 2 location. If your phase 2 location is somewhere other than JBSA your family will not be going to JBSA with you.

We had a town hall recently with varying results.. But from what I saw was 1. Horrible maintenance. 2. Mold. 3. Mold. 4. Animals rotting in the walls of your home and maintenance took a week to fix it??? This was a COLONEL btw..... If possible. Move them off post.

Which base specifically? I can't speak for Ft Sam but Lackland's privatized with Balfour Beatty and they've been completely negligent in maintenance and caught lying about maintenance records. There's been mold found all over housing and the junior enlisted dorms. I would recommend finding something off base and avoid all together.
