Exotic Pets on Military Bases- ARMY?

Hi

See my other question in here titled National guard or Army?

Basically My husband has now decided hes going back into the Miliatry at age 41... have not chosen where yet Army or Guard

But

We have 2 Mallards.. we have wildlife permits for them but we are not willing to get rid of them to do this.. not at all

I work with Wildlife, and they were rescues over 3 years ago and are family to all of us now.

I cant seem to get a real answer or get conflicting info on whether

this type of animal would be allowed if we were living on base in base housing?

I only ask because even if were to live off base and go REG army and My husband were to get trransfered overseas where we'd live on base.. then we'd be in trouble...

Any info on this would be good or any contact sites or info as well...

Thank you!

Wismom

    not on base at all. as for OCONUS, you wouldn't be able to bring them in to any other country at all. so, your options are off base housing stateside only.

    I must say you've come with a question that has stumped me. I'm usually good at this. But in Norfolk's Navy housing, their rules on pets reads: "No more than two (2) pets (dogs or cats) are allowed in all housing areas except Woodbridge Crossing and some Midway Manor. Yards that are not fenced in the Hamilton Redoubt, Garrison Way, Fairway Crescent, and Sewells Point units at Naval Station Norfolk areas do not allow pets. Farmyard or exotic pets (reptiles, ducks, rabbits, chickens, ferrets, etc.) are not allowed in any Navy Family Housing area.

    While residing in Navy Family Housing, damages caused to the unit or grounds by pets are the occupant’s responsibility.

    Occupants with pets, agree to pay a de-flea fee at time of vacate"

    I would think the Army has simular rules. Ducks for pets? Learn something new everday.......

    Ducks, I'm not sure of the best thing to do is go to any bases web site and check it out for yourself, if it is an issue just live off post.

    i live in base housing. exotic pets are not permiitted. no snakes birds and such. ferrets and rabbits hamsters fish and gerbils oer guienie pigs as long as they are caged. no large dogs either. cats must be kept in at all times. the best thing is to call the housing office where you will be moving ahead of time. they make exceptions but you have to ask
