Hello Roxy. Good to know you'll be joining us here at Fort Bliss/El Paso. I lived in the off post housing area but a different area. I'll put out a question to see if there is someone who lives in the area who can give you info about…
We'll be there in 3 weeks!! Few questions for on-post housing...
We've been assigned a home on Kerfoot in Logan Heights. Does anyone live over that way or know someone that does??Hawaii was our first duty station and I'm finding out that we're "spoiled" here. I didn't realize that not all bases provide washer and dryers for lower enlisted families which raises a question. What did you ladies do when you got there? Do you rent (where/how much) or did you buy (where/how much)?Also did the home you moved into already have a fence? If you installed your own or…See More

I agree with Tiffany, you have to be careful when signing a lease especially when you are only renting until you get on post housing. I have a neighbor who is renting and got on post housing and they refuse to let her out of the lease. She pretty…

We moved here in July and were forced to live offbase because of no housing. It was an 8-10 month wait for us. It is not December and a house opened up for us but we were stuck in a year lease so now we are fighting to get out of it. PLEASE make…

We spend $200-250 every 2 weeks for a family of 5 not to mention the many trips to Super Target which is around the corner for extra stuff. We have a 4 bedroom home roughly 1500 square feet and we spend about $50-70 on water, gas $20 but higher…

My utilities are probably the same as Debbie's, and we spend probably $250 or so every couple weeks for groceries for 5 people, plus pets. We could easily spend more, but we can't afford it, and often have to go without a lot of things to…

We spend around 200 dollars every 2 weeks for groceries for 2 people. Our utilities combined are around 50-80 dollars a month for a 523 sq. foot apt.
Debbie replied to Roxy Murphy's discussion 'Groceries, Off-Post Utilities, and Housing Waitlist'
We spend 3-400 every 2 weeks for a family of 6 but that includes dog food, cleaning supplies,pull-ups etc. I also buy a lot of fresh fruits and veggies, whole grain foods (whole grain pasta,quiona, steel cut oats) etc.
We live off post as well,…
Groceries, Off-Post Utilities, and Housing Waitlist
We're working out a budget for our PCS from Schofield Barracks, HI to Ft Bliss in January/February. I'm wondering, on average how much do you spend on groceries and how many people are in your family? Also, if you live off-post how much are your utilities each month?For those of you who live in on-post housing how long were you on the wait list? If you got on the wait list before you got there, how far in advance and how soon after your arrival did you have a place? We are already on the…See More

Roxy Murphy replied to Fort Bliss Connect's discussion 'Is the Military "influx" in El Paso Attributed to An Increase in Criminal Activity?'
The article mentions defendents who have primarily Hispanic last names. The military would be the more obvious finger to point at because it has a more prominent presence. The rise in criminal activity could just as easily be attributed to families…

So, Trump Network is like a pyramid scheme? You have to pay into the company and you only really make money if you get other people to sign-up as consultants?
