Terry had to fill out a sheet ranking 17 Army installations. Of course we put Ft. Carson first, Ft. Irwin next and then we decided to put Drum. Why I don't know other than we knew people going there. SO... When my friend that is going to Drum started asking about Homes on post they didn't get alot of positive information. So immediately they started looking to rent or last case buy. Well there are very few rentals that are worth renting and it they are worth renting they get rented in days of being listed. Homes in the area can be brand new or 150 years old. Needless to say I was glad there wasn't much chance to go there. My friend kept sending me homes telling me that there were some nice ones out there. (She wasn't hoping we would end up going there).

When Terry finally did get told we were going there, the first thing to come to mind was "oh crud, where are we going to live?" Housing at Ft. Drum has been vague to say the least about what might be available when we get there around December 19th (6 days before Christmas). We have looked for some rentals, but I won't even think about renting something I haven't seen in person. So that has us going to Ft. Drum blind, not knowing where we are going to live. Talk about a scary situation.... And on top of all that Terry will deploy less than 6 months after getting there.... Oh we did find one house for sale that said "Pre Civil War Stone House" WOW!!! Also we found a lighthouse on an Island, too bad we don't have a boat.
