Base General
Base General

Any soldiers wives out there that could tell me about life on base?
My husband is currently in basic training, and as long as he gets stationed where we (me and our soon to be 2 sons) can go, we'll be moving to a base mid Aug, we don't know where yet; Im just wondering what life on base is like, just a general idea of what to expect, the pros and cons. Thanks a bunch!
It's not that bad, but I'd 100% prefer to not live on base.
Anyway- more than likely it will be a little more difficult to have civilian visitors-as you wont be able to access your house (on base) w/o a military ID.
It will be a lot easier for your husband b/c he's closer to work than he would be living anywhere else.
You wont pay your rent/utilities but you'll pay things like cable and internet.
Driving rules are enforced way more on base (no speeding, no talking on cell phone while driving, etc)
Depending on where you go, there will be a (sometimes very long) waiting list for on-base housing... Also- some communities go by your husbands rank. Where we are moving, my husband is a senior NCO so our house is a bit 'nicer' so to say than junior enlisted, but not as nice as the officers executive houses. We will be PCSing to a base that was just remodeled for mil housing, so it's all very nice and new. Some military housing looks like the projects.
I like living off base more... I guess I just feel more freedom, my friends can stop by whenever they want, etc. But we're having a harder time than we thought finding a home to purchase so we are moving on post until we find a new home.
You wont have a lease so if you dont like it you can leave whenever you want-it's just gotta be CLEAN.
You're required to keep up yardwork, etc. That's something that kicked my butt b/c I always had a lawn service, didn't even own a lawnmoer.
something i just thought of-childcare on base is genrally cheaper than off base-atleast from what i've experienced-you can use the on base childcare regardless of if you live on or off base, but it'd be easier if you lived on, obviously.
and who cares if people gossip. people gossip everywhere- i dont really notice b/c i dont do much worth gossiping about
. security is nice, esp. with deployments. random people cant come to your door, or even within ten miles of it!

"Sir, there's a large formation of planes coming in from the north, 140 miles, 3 degrees east." "Yeah? Don't worry about it." This is just one of the many mishaps chronicled in Tora! Tora! Tora! The epic film shows the bombing of Pearl Harbor from both sides in the historic first American-Japanese coproduction: American director Richard Fleischer oversaw the complicated production (the Japanese sequences were directed by Toshio Masuda and Kinji Fukasaku, after Akira Kurosawa withdrew from the film), wrestling a sprawling story with dozens of characters into a manageable, fairly easy-to-follow film... |

Are you looking for some ideas for a home based business? Making money online from home has quickly become one of the most sought after business opportunities out there. Below are some suggestions to help jump-start your home business.
A) What Works And What Doesn't?
There are thousands of different online opportunities to make money with out there. As a result, choosing the right one can be a daunting task. Most people looking for ideas for a home based business want something that won't require 8 hours of work per day. What kinds of opportunities are popular?
* Data Entry Jobs and Surveys
* Affiliate Marketing
* Multi Level Marketing (MLM)
* Telephone Call Centers
* Refund Processing
* High Ticket Online Programs
Now, all of the above can make you legitimate money. What will vary quite a bit is what kind of money you can make and how much time and effort will be required.
It's easy to find a program or opportunity that costs no more than $75 to get started with. As a general rule, the less you spend on a program, the less in profits you'll make from promoting that same opportunity.
Why?
The cheaper the start-up cost, the cheaper the quality you'll generally get once you become a member. High ticket (more expensive) online opportunities are actually easier to promote to other people. This is because the value is perceived as being much higher and therefore thought to be of higher quality.
FYI, high ticket opportunities are generally those that cost $600 or more to sign up.
B) Finding A Nice Profit Margin
The best ideas for a home based business opportunity usually end up being those which provide a rather immediate return on initial investment. How do you know when an opportunity falls into this category? Here are some attributes to look for:
* High perceived product value
* Large market demand for the opportunity
* Commission per sale is at least 60% of what you initially have to pay to get involved
C) Some Additional Items...
One very important thing to consider is that you need to know how to market whatever opportunity you choose. If you don't know how to get your product or service in front of the right people, then no matter how well thought out your ideas for a home based business are, you'll end up wasting large amounts of time and money.
Opportunities or products with small profit margins take just as much effort to promote as those with a large profit margin. This is exactly why searching out an opportunity with a high profit margin is so very important.
Make sure your marketing efforts go towards making you more money, not less.
Conclusion
The large majority of home based business opportunities will require online marketing. Getting your product, service or opportunity in front of the right people is easily one of the most important things you'll need to do. This is what marketing is all about.
Ultimately you will need to decide what opportunity is best for you, but do realize the importance of the Internet in home based business. This is what will connect you to 99% of your potential customers.
Learning how to take advantage of the Internet will be the #1 factor in your making money online from home.
