Sorry it took a couple months to get back to you.

Housing is on base and contracted to balfour beatty. The accomadation's for us is pretty good. Where I live at near the commissary, I can get to the Rickover Center within 10 minutes. You will need to bring your PT clothes into the Rickover or in the lockers, since you will PT 3 times a week. Don't go on FEP, or you will exercise M-F. If you need to do family stuff, such as doctor appointments and checkups, Aschool sucks for it because if you miss a Lab, you get rolled back. Power school, I went to the doctor for my wife multiple times while she was pregnant. Usually, talking to your SLPO, which is basically your Chief/Petty Officer in charge of your class you are in, will help you, as long as your request is earnest.

Just be prepared to be out of the house a lot more than in it. The school is tough, and I usually put in 10-15 hours of study a week. Just talk with your spouse to let them know that it will get a bit rough from on out.
