It's all happening

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.

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.

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.

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