From Fort Story to Arlington, they run for the fallen

One step closer to PCSing

Movers are coming today to evaluate our household stuff. One step closer too moving day. The kids are in a bit of a melancholy state. I'm sad for them. I grew up an Army Brat and didn't like moving either and it was especially hard moving between sophomore and junior years of HS as my son will.
I look back and am grateful for the opportunities moving around have me to put myself out there, introduce myself, make new friends, enjoy new places.

But it's not hard and every event that brings moving day closer is hard. Which is why I treated them to Krispy Kreme donuts.

ONE had a lax game down south where the KK store is. We don't often get around that way so when we do we make a point of stopping and getting the double dozen deal. The lax game was a tough loss. But ONE was able to get another hat trick (three goals).

Anyway... PCSing is hard. So I try when I can to make things fun and memorable.

Military in our Blood

Does military service run in the family?


Flash Back to a time when my Dad was in 82nd Airborne, stationed at Ft. Bragg, NC.

I married an AF Officer, and now ONE hopes to one day serve.

TMO

Finding the actual TMO office on base was harder than scheduling the dates I wanted.  I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was.  The staff were very helpful in estimating my household weight- does anyone really know who much household weight they have?

Anyway... not much else I can do except pick up medical records but don't want to do that until a lot closer to move date- after school gets out.  Finally got EFMP paperwork complete and we are officially cleared for travel. Crazy how that whole process works- we're only going stateside.
