It's all happening

[jayes_musings]

Hubby called me at work yesterday (he's currently away for a couple of weeks) and he found out that he made Chief (E-9...highest enlisted rank). So when we leave Germany next August, we'll be moving onto another base for 3 years instead of retiring.

Kind of a double edged sword...we've both had enough of the Air Force and the way things are going generally that retiring would be nice. Get away from the military and try something else, although also a little daunting. But the only reason he decided to try for Chief was for the retirement money it will give him, nearly double of what he would make now. And that money, yeah, very good.

Now to keep my fingers crossed we get an assignment to England...or somewhere *very* nice in the States.

(((hugs))) Will keep fingers crossed for you guys too. :D

Thanks. *g* Now I've just got to get excited about moving again.

I'm torn: do I hope you move to England so you can constantly send me tube cheese, or do I hope you move close to me so we can visit? Because it's all about me, you know. ;)

[simplyjaye.livejournal.com]

Isn't it always all about you? *g* You could always save up and come over and buy your own tube cheese. :D

And there's a chance we could go to back to Hampton Roads.

Of course. I'm the most important person in the world! ;) And I would like to do that someday. Believe you me, I WILL buy my own tube cheese IN ENGLAND again someday.

That would be cool. I know someone there now. In fact, I'm going to Norfolk tomorrow for a concert.

Of course, we could end up in California or someplace.

*using right icon this time*

It must be SO fun to have no control over the situation.

Well, he does get a little more input into the decision as a Chief selectee, but in the end they'll send him (us) to where they need him.

[ohhh-will.livejournal.com]

Well, at least it's kind of an adventure. :)

Master Chief? COOL!

That's so cute you get your own 'Master Chief'!

Here's hoping the next posting is somewhere you'll really enjoy. *whispers* Oz ain't that bad! ;)

Hehehehe...

Oz is everyone's dream assignment, but precious few get lucky enough to get posted there. In 20+ years, I've only known one person. It's on his 'dream sheet' (his choices for assignments), but it would be a miracle if he got it.

Hey, dreams can come true!

Here's hoping this one does.

Am happy dancing and dying a thousand deaths at the same time at the moment. Our application for the rental house was approved - can move next weekend!

Other side of it?

Moving next weekend! Have to work the next 7 days straight! *groans*

YAY!!! For finding a house. That is such good news, I'm so happy for you. But the moving and working...that'll make me groan as well. *hugs*
