Good Morning All- Our current lease in Wire Mountain housing will be up soon. Was wondering if it is possible to attempt to move to San Onofre, and how would I go about doing that? I understand it would be on my dime. Thanks! 

wondering if it is possible to attempt to move to San Onofre

Isn't the rule that you can't move into another community with a wait list? Isn't that the most filled district?

*The hotsheet says San Onofre 3 is open, but you said your husband is an E5 and you have zero kids. He wouldn't rate a 4 bedroom in San O 1 that's for sure. 

What about asking Lincoln housing if you can move to San Onofre? Instead of wives who have a million and one different experiences. 

As someone who's made a move from one set of houses to another, the experience I had was as follows:

You have to have been in your first house 6 months.

You put in an application to move and give a reason...new rank, new baby, closer to work, etc. I don't know if "I just want to" is a reason they'll accept or not. I'm not knocking you, I'm just saying it's something that has to be approved.

If your application is accepted, they come and do a "surprise" walk through inspection of your home, sometime within 48 hours of your application and no "notice." That is, they tell you, "sometime within the next 48-72 hours, someone will come by. We're not telling you when." This is the final approval step. If they feel you're not taking proper care of the home you're in now, they won't give you the ok to move.

Once you pass that walkthrough, you go to the bottom of whatever wait list is already in place for the desired neighborhood and the size of house you qualify for. Your "control date" is the date you put in the application.

Then you sit back and wait. Once you accept a house, from the time you pick up the keys you have three days to get your stuff out of the old house and have it ready for inspection. Meaning, if you get the keys on Monday afternoon, Monday counts as a day. You'll be inspected on Weds or Thursday. The 'trick' is to accept and then arrange to pick up keys on a Thursday. That gives you the whole weekend.

Like I said...that was my experience. For best results, like Fuego said, I'd go straight to the horse's mouth. 

Fuego, that's what I had planned on doing when my lease is up. Just wanted to see if anyone had an actual experience of this kind of situation. And yes, we are E5 w/ no kids and I am aware I will only rate a two bedroom. 

Thanks, LS, that is good info.
