Date Has Been Set...

Well, my wife stayed home with me today after a procedure I had at the VA yesterday to take care of me and also because she had some paperwork to take care of at Little Rock AFB.

I won't go into what paperwork she was taking care of over an open website blog, but the appointment was to take up to several hours. Today, since she had everything in line, she was able to get done a little early, so she decided to head over to the eduction building to see if she could get a ship date for BMT. She had called and told me she was going to do this.

I told her that while I wanted to know when her ship date was, I also didn't want to know. For some reason, I'm a little nervous, even though, I know everyone will survive and she will do great. She called me after she left the Education office and she told me her ship date is...13 Feb 12, with an estimated graduation date of 12 Apr 13. The good thing is she'll get to come home for a couple weeks prior her to shipping to Tech School in Wichita Falls, Texas.

This will be a huge time for us since I will get to see my wife for a couple weeks an the girls and her will get a couple weeks of catchup time. Then she will have to ship out again for three months, then she will be back for good...or at least until her next TDY.

So, I guess over the next 4 months or so, we will be going over final preparations for her departure to BMT. I know it's going to be a fairly busy time and that time will go by too quickly for my liking, but I also know, that we will all survive in true military fashion. There's no I can't or we won't, only I cans and we will make it. We, as military dependents, don't have a choice in the matter except to make the best of our time and to keep things going while our loved ones are away.
