• Just In Case.*

  August 7, 2013

  I wouldn't say that I'm jumping ship. I don't write often enough for that. But in the event that OD goes down for good one of these days, it'd be nice to know that I can still keep in touch with the friends I've made here. Quite a few of you are my friends on Facebook;…

• He Stopped Loving Her Today

  May 16, 2013

  Ok, a bit of a dramatic title. Don't worry, Jake and I are fine! That's the title of an old George Jones song. However, we've been out in Jacksonville for the past two weeks. Jake's father passed away on Thursday, May 2. We've been out here trying to handle various things. It's been a bit…

• Less than a week!*

  January 31, 2013

  Yay, we finally got some confirmation from the movers. They're coming on Tuesday!!! The next few days are going to busy for me, making sure I've cleared out everything I can and that I have stuff organized. I don't mind though; I'll take a few crazy days to have my family back together ...

  Yup, still sitting here in Charlotte. Jake finally had his transportation briefing today. Last week, he had discovered that he could enter some stuff into some website that they use now to facilitate moves. He put something in there trying to get a pick up date for this week. Unfortunately, he ha...

  Jake has no uniforms yet. He has not yet been assigned a unit, and therefore won't get any until that happens. They can't get him into a transportation briefing until next Tuesday, which means we can't schedule the movers until then. He's been told it could be up to three weeks before they get us...

• So much to do….

  January 19, 2013

  ....and so little time to do it in, it seems. I'm getting frustrated because I'm trying to sell off things we don't need anymore, and I'm not having a ton of luck. I have a feeling the majority of it is going to end up going to Goodwill or the church that our friend is…

  Jake is sitting at MEPS right now. Should be getting some orders today, or at least more information (I've heard from a few people that they didn't get the actual orders until their ship date). Man, to be a fly on the wall in there today.....I'm dying to know if Ft. Campbell is going to…

  December 29, 2012

  So, someone from the recruiting station called Jake on Wednesday. He got E-5! Something was also mentioned about being assigned to Fort Campbell. Bleh. He's scheduled again for MEPS on Thursday, so we'll see if that's all that's available or if there are other options. I'm wondering if the fact t...

• Delays

  December 18, 2012

  Once again, Jake was supposed to go to the hotel tonight to go to MEPS tomorrow. To, you know, sign a contract and all of that. Once again, he's sitting at home instead. Just as he was getting ready to leave, his recruiter called. His grade determination had to be "sent higher up", so w...
