Went through degrees without any issues, it was great, extremely pleased.
Marrying into a strong masonic family, at my 1st degree all I got was blindfolded and told good luck. I have been to several degree work at different lodges, and when preparing the candidate the JrD has already told the candidate everything to expect. Which I'm my opinion is wromg. If your going to be told before hand on what is going to happen, it takes the mystery and fun out of it. Trust me, you will better understand and appreciate going in blind.....
Explore the grand lodge's sites;I would like to petition a lodge here in Georgia, how do I go about doing that?
I petitioned a lodge in GA, my Petition won’t be read until next Monday. I really wish there was material I could study although everyone on here says not to (Exam material). I know it’s going to be difficult with my job, but I’ve been wanting to join for a while now so I’m sure I’ll make it work.
Here's some questions that I currently have and forgot ask. I keep hearing it’s a lot of material to learn/memorize and I’m really on a tight schedule is there anything I can do to retain information quickly, any tips.
I’ve recently moved here from Texas, and my apartment isn’t what I’d like it to be right now. I still have some of my stuff in storage in Texas. My apartment doesn’t look like a home yet. Is that going to be something the IC will hold against me? Perhaps indicating financial issues (of which I have none)
I’m sure every lodge is different, I’m just trying to see if there’s a norm. Are the degrees given once a month, at stated meetings, or whenever the candidate is ready for the next? When you take the exams and pass it, is the next degree given that night or scheduled?
Is there anything I should know or can know about the ceremony.
Forgive my asking, I’m still new to all this and want to learn as much as I can. I’m know I’ll have some more question in the future, it’s nice to know I can get answers on here. Thanks in advance

I don't see a problem with this as long as you have sufficient income that lodge dues would not be a financial burden on your family.I recently petitioned and have a question too. My wife and I live in an RV full time. No kids. We got tired of paying rent for apartments and decided to take some cash and purchase one and then save money for a house later. Would this look bad during the home interview? I doubt we would be able to entertain an interview committee inside our RV. However we could always meet at the Community Building in our RV park. Thank you.
As said by Brother JC, its totally up to the lodge.I recently petitioned and have a question too. My wife and I live in an RV full time. (30 foot travel trailer) No kids.
