Becks if you have a mortgage the Army will pay towards your mortgage, its called dtls, get your DH to get a letter from manning to give to your bank, the banks in Palmy deal with this all the time so they know what they're doing. Not sure how much it is % of interest I think, for us it amounts to another 5k a year to DFs salary. ]]> Fri, 28 Sep 2007 17:04:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10952&PID=220804&title=im-going-to-be-a#220804 <![CDATA[I’m going to be a... : Woohoo, yay Becks that is awesome!...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10952&PID=220796&title=im-going-to-be-a#220796 Author: Maya

At this stage, i'm going to stay in Palmy (in our house) while he goes off and does all his training. He will "probably" be based in Linton as he is going in Engineering and most of them are in Linton. If we have to move to CHCH i'll move thats no problem.

One good thing - at least I can now go over to my parents place a few times a year now to see them, i've already booked their place after DH does his basic, in the small break he gets between basic and officer training.

Very superficial but i'm looking forward to the money as well - after living on the sickness benefit, the salary he gets will be OMG!!!

Next year 7 weeks straight up in Waioru for basic. 2 weeks holiday then back up to Waioru for 9 months Monday to Friday (we can move up there if we want to but we won't) doing officer stuff. Then 3 months back in Trentham doing Engineering stuff then back to Linton (thats were he should get posted to but if CHCH then we'll move and rent our house out) to be an officer.
