Required to live on base?

Perchal, are you familiar with the phrase “never trust a monkey?” I think your nympho friend blows. The facilities are quit nice, unless your one of those rich kids who got a 2006 Ford Excursion for a graduation present…just bustin your balls.
I’m living off base right now, and very seriously considering moving on base as I move up to whiting. I just went up there today and took a tour it is about the same size as what I had in Quantico, and shared with 4 other Jars, only it comes with a couch, tv, living/kitchen area, and bedroom. You can even order maid service in a package of $3 per day * 3 days per week, and that my friend is a no $hiter.
Yeah, what Vic says is a no sh!ter, I’ve heard that same thing from a lot of people. If you want to make money off the BAH, that’s what I was doing, but time driving and gas are making the Q look good + you don’t have to worry about the house not being quiet for study time. Some of the Academy engineering superheroes may have been fine, but I was a study-stress-whore during the first 4 weeks of API - locked in my room with nothing but coffee, mountain dew, and dip…the diet of champions…you won’t want to waste time driving.
With the Firearms, I’ve known a few people that were just discrete and had no problems. If your worried about it, you can get a climate controlled storage shed for less than $25/month, I haven’t found out if there is an armory, or what the official rules are yet, but I’ll let you know in a few days.

With the firearms, ask the guard, and they will call an escort to take you to the armory, that applies to ammo as well. I’m just going to throw mine in my storage unit, they would probably freak out and accuse me of terrorism when they see my arsenal. There are a lot of rules with Q that make it a pain in the ass, even charcoal lighter is a big no-no. The biggest pain is going to be when I bring my X down for the weekend, I’ll probably just get a hotel by the beach. The benefits of living amongst your peers, and being able to run to the gym, or take a quick nap in the middle of the day far outweigh the little nick knacks. If you are forced in to it, which is going to happen to a lot of you, it is not a bad deal, it will help you do better in school.
Yeah, after talking with the management and security, sneaking weapons on base would just be a lazy way to become an attrite + some more punishment.

BS huh? 6 months ago, it was probably BS, but going to whiting right now, it is not. This was according to training officers well above my pay grade that were checking us in a few weeks ago. If in the Navy, when you submit your request for BAH, you won’t get it without a lease signed by the right date. So yeah, your not required to live there, but you won’t get the BAH to pay rent. The Air Force guys talked with their liaison, and didn’t have a problem getting their BAH. MATSG didn’t seem to know anything for the little rule applying to the Marines, so perhaps you could get out of the Q, just give MATSG a call before you sign the lease.
BCH, how is Corpus? Was it the Gamma Phi, or whatever the hell they were formal that I saw you at last? I am assuming that is who you are.

YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just trying to help. The reason I said it was BS is because I was told the same thing and scared when I went down there. I was hearing the same thing you guys are saying now.
FlyNavy is right, in 6 mos a lot can change, however, the rumor mill tends to produce the same rumors over and over again.
BigWorm who are you, you don't sound familiar
