Answer
We like to camp at Loyd Park on Joe Pool Lake in Grand Prairie. Take 360 South - - turn left at Ragland Road - - turn right at Park Road 1.

The campgrounds at Loyd Park are well maintained and the park is a nice place to camp. With 221 sites there are a wide variety of sites to choose from. There are sites that are right on the shore of Joe Pool Lake, others that are away from the water, some in nicely shaded alcoves of vegetation, and a few sites that are relatively unshaded and out in the open. Sites are $15 per night, which is in addition to the per vehicle entry fee. Reservations can be made by calling the park at 817-467-2104. It's a good idea to make reservations during the busy summer season, especially on weekends. Camping reservations are required on holidays. Each site has water, electricity, a covered picnic table, and a concrete parking pad. Up to eight people and two vehicles are allowed at a campsite. There is also a limit of 2 tents or 1 camper and 1 tent per site. Fire rings are provided at many sites and bundles of firewood can be purchased at the park entrance. Check out time is 2 p.m. and quiet hours begin at 10 p.m. The restrooms have showers with hot water
There are 8 cabins for rent in a public park on Joe Pool Lake in Loyd Park. The cabins are a great option for anyone who does not have an RV or a tent but does want to stay overnight at Joe Pool Lake. Loyd Park's cabins are found near the park's swimming beach, are relatively new, and have a lot of nice features. One cabin is ADA accessible and sleeps four people. The remaining cabins sleep 6 people. Four one bedroom cabins have a queen size bed, a bunk-bed niche and a pull out couch. Three cabins have two bedrooms. Prices range from $100 to $150 dollars a night, plus tax. The fee depends on what cabin is being rented and the date you want to stay. The entry fee for one vehicle is waived with each cabin rental. You can call 817-467-2104 to make a reservation or to ask questions you may have about staying in a cabin. All of the cabins have electricity, running water, central heat/air conditioning, a bathroom with shower, a stove, an oven, a refrigerator, a sink, satellite TV, kitchen utensils, a dinette, linens, and towels. There is also an outdoor barbeque grill, a fire ring (the park sells bundles of wood at the entry gate), and a covered picnic table.

Navy questions? Boot camp?







Hi my fiancé is joining the navy and I spoke to his recruiter with some questions that I had and after I left I had some more...but I wanted to see if someone else can answer before I attack him with some more questions ....
After the 8 weeks of boot camp does my fiancé come back home or do the place him right away?
Do they provide him with the things he needs ie food, toothpaste, clothes?
Does he need any money at all because I will be with his debit card so I can pay rent? Also how soon does he get his first pay the recruiter gave us the amount just never how often he gets paid?
And last do we have to get married before he leaves for boot camp or after he comes back?



Answer
After boot camp he will depart for his "A" School anywhere from a few hours to a day or two later. No leave.

Everything he needs he'll be issued or allowed to purchase at the Navy Exchange.

He will have no need of money while at boot camp.

Pay is on the 1st and 15th of the month. It will take about 2 pay cycles before he gets his first pay. So, let's say he arrives on September 10th you should expect his first pay to be October 1st or possibly the 15th. However, he'll be paid everything going back to his first day in that first pay.

Personally, I say get married. Why? Because he will get a housing allowance for you, full medical and dental insurance for you and you will be on his first set of orders to his first real duty station and that means the Navy pays to move you and your stuff. Depending on where you live the housing allowance could be substantial and it's not taxable. He will also get a Family Separation Allowance that starts 30 days after he's been away from you.
