Coast Guard Liaison Office: HousingCongratulations! You've been accepted to flight school. Now you need to find a place to hang your hat while you're living in Pensacola. Here are some information you'll need to know before you start looking. “Where do I live when I get to Pensacola?”One important fact to note is that you’ll only spend approximately eight weeks in training aboard NAS Pensacola – the majority of your time will be spent in training at NAS Whiting Field near Milton, FL. If you are a single member with less than three years of service, your housing journey begins at CGLO Pensacola. Please stop by, even if it is before your official check in date, to receive a space-available chit and further information regarding housing. Your next stop will be the Navy Housing Referral Office at NAS Whiting Field, located at 207 Merrill Dr., Milton, FL (850) 623-7493/9726. If space is available in the Combined Bachelor Quarters (CBQ), you will be required to either accept a room there or apply, with specified roommates, for a spot in Navy housing at Whiting Pines, which is about 6 miles from NAS Whiting Field. If no space is available, then you will receive a stamp on your chit indicating such, and will then be able to utilize the below resources.Married personnel, personnel with more than three years of service, or those personnel selecting in advance to continue on to Corpus Christi for fixed-wing aviation advanced training will be required to check in with the Navy Housing Referral Office at NAS Whiting Field at the address above, and then may apply for Navy housing at Whiting Pines or ask for further information on area housing. Bachelor Student Naval Aviators (SNAs) that are eligible to live off base can apply for Navy housing at Whiting Pines. If offered a house in Whiting Pines one SNA forfeits their BHA but may have military roommates that do NOT have to forfeit their BHA. Whiting Pines homes do not have furniture. The Housing Referral Office will provide you with materials (maps, phone numbers, etc.) to assist in your search for a residence. There will also be a Realtor on hand to assist you. Housing costs run from $600 to $900 per month depending on your taste and requirements. Most require the usual deposits (i.e., phone, gas, electricity, water, security, etc.). However, the Navy Housing Referral Officer can give you a waiver letter for the electricity deposit. No deposits are required for Navy Quarters, but remember to have the Liaison Office stop your BAH. Many of the apartments in Pensacola have a pet restriction and a nonrefundable pet deposit. Further information may be obtained from the Navy Housing Referral Office at NAS Pensacola (Mainside) in building 735 & their phone number is (850) 452-4412. There is a BOQ on Mainside as well. Further information on the CBQ is available in your welcome aboard package. Temporary lodging is also available at the Navy Lodge at Mainside (850) 456-8676.
