Well it is not secret (hence the ticker on my sidebar) that we have less than 6 months here in Italy. I am excited, but as a result have been somewhat anxious about where we are going next. Dave and I have been checking back often to see if he has a duty assignment yet, and no luck there. So, he wrote his branch manager to see what our options are. Well, the branch manager gave us three potential spots. Of course, if you know the military, nothing is set in stone until Orders are in hand (and not always then either), which will still be several months. But... drum roll please... our potential new duty stations are
1. Ft. Lewis Washinton...
Yes in the Tacoma Washington area
(My brother is currently serving his mission there).
2. Ft. Gordon, GA
3. Ft. Hood, TX
So, we are leaning away from Hood lol. But really don't know about either of the other two. Both are set to deploy after we get there, but Gordon has shorter deployments. So, if any of your military blog readers out there could help us have more knowledge about any of the three, we would be greatful! Be on the lookout in the next few months for a final decision too.

Waiting for a duty assignment is the worst. And as you know nothing is set in stone until you get there. Lathough Tacoma might be really cool so you can see Kevin possibly, I choose Ft Hood. Why? Because it is closer to us. But good luck and the Lord will need you wherever that might be.
We have a "strong liklihood" (whatever that means) of being stationed at Ft Lewis in about a year 'cause of Dom's language...but I'll believe it when I see it. I don't know much else about the other two places though, but it was be awesome to end up in the same place again!
So even though it's 3 hours from where we will be, I still like the idea of being in the same State :) We could meet up in Atlanta LOL You'll make the best of wherever you're at! Nothing could be as bad as Caserme Ederle... Right? JUST KIDDING!!!
Darn, none are close to us. I guess in the same country is a start... :-)
