We are also military so we are hoping for a place that will accept us. I am hearing from a lot of people that military are not very welcome and it is scaring me a lot. So any words of comfort/advice/etc? where should we go?
IMO better than some bases I've been around.
One word of caution...Don't take you RV to main gate. Use "truck" gate. And they have certain hours they are open. Real mess to get turned around at main gate in large RV.
They're good people wherever you go, but its hard to find them sometimes.
I think the catch will be finding a place that is more like a campground versus a trailer park. And as any base it has some real bad looking areas with trailer parks. And couple miles away not to bad.
Don't over look out going east, towards Yelm area. More country or open space than in town IMO. Several smaller type places out that way. That's if you don't have your heart set on going south near Oly area. I don't know about kids things or about their schools are.
Have you tried the Housing office? McChord used to have lots of services for their people. After the JBLM merger name thing I'm not sure what they have anymore, but worth a call.
(edit part) I'm calling the main gate, the "main" gate at McChord. Have no idea what there called now since the name change to JBLM. The "truck" gate for oversize vehicles is at L&L 47.155066, -122.483603
