Hello I am a recent newlywed to the army andmy huusband is stationed at Fort Knox KY. We have had trouble with the housing office not returning calls. How do you guys deal with the housing office and all the other long processes that the army is giving us? I don't know how any of the stuff works because I though on post living would be much better because it's cheaper and alot more convient for my husband but with all the trouble we are having I'm reconsidering the idea. Can someone help me with the army life and all the crap they give you? Thanks
