Hi all, 

My husband is in the process of applying for the Navy, with the intent to go through OCS starting late this year. I know a lot is up in the air - if he'll get in, when he'll get in, when he'll be stationed, and where - but I have a question about job hunting for me.

I know there will be resources at his duty station, but wondered if I could be more proactive before we move.

    I agree there isn't much to do now, until you know where you might go.  But one of the biggest things would be applying for that state's certification.  You can start reading different state requirements now, and get a feel for if you might need
