Since, as far as we know, we're moving to Wichita Falls I've gotten into looking at houses ahead of time. Sort of to scope out what's there. I've used Truila.com for internet "house shopping". It works pretty well.
To be honest, if we can get some decent housing through the military I'll take that over buying. But the military has this tendency to stick E5s with spouse but no children in tiny two bedroom homes. Sheppard AFB has the Freedom Estates, the smallest of which is still a 3 bedroom house. As long as I can get a 3 bedroom house of a decent size I'm ok with sticking with military housing.
But that's a Big If. I'll be surprised if there isn't already a huge waiting list for Freedom Estates. I can't imagine anyone choosing to live on base when they can live off base and get a bigger house. Though I might get lucky, since the on base housing since to be going through some major renovations. (I have to tell you, newer military housing is really not all that bad.

Hi, you should also check-out MilitaryByOwner's Sheppard AFB page for Sales and Rentals: http://www.militarybyowner.com/tx/sheppard-afb.html
Thanks for the suggestion. I had looked on there before but couldn't find anything. Turns out it was because I was using Firefox! Apparently it only works with IE. Oh, that makes me sad. But at least I can view the listings now. :)
