A week ago I freaked out about what's going to happen in 98 days, and then what-do-you-know, yesterday morning we got a gigantic email from the Army filled with loads of information about the next step in our post-dental school lives - at long last! Perhaps they read my blog :) Haha, I know they don't (or do they?) so it was a serendipitous coincidence and a welcome Valentine's Day present. Soooo..... maybe if I post our top 10 picks they'll listen and grant us our heart's desires? It's worth a shot! In my "98 days" post I announced our top pick is Germany. There isn't a specific option for Germany, just "Various locations, Europe," which includes Germany, Belgium, Italy - all AWESOME locations. And so, after looking through the list of the 31 options available to us, we have narrowed our top 10 pics to these locations, in order of preference:
1. VARIOUS LOCATIONS, EUROPE (this option is for Germany, Belgium, Italy)
2. JAPAN
3. HONOLULU, HI
4. FT LEWIS, WA
5. BETHESDA, MD
6. FT BRAGG, NC
7. FT MYER, VA
8. FT SAM HOUSTON, TX
9. FT BENNING, GA
10. FT STEWART, GA
2. JAPAN
3. HONOLULU, HI
4. FT LEWIS, WA
5. BETHESDA, MD
6. FT BRAGG, NC
7. FT MYER, VA
8. FT SAM HOUSTON, TX
9. FT BENNING, GA
10. FT STEWART, GA
Come'on EUROPE!
We have to submit our choices by March 1st and then they say we'll find out "on or about" (their exact words) March 15th. Less than a month! And then, depending on when Chris goes to Boot Camp, we'll either BE at our new home on July 10th or August 2nd. SO SOON! AHHHHHHH!!!! Stay tuned.
How exciting. Imagine if it were Belgium! That would be so awesome (for me!). I'd come and visit you ALL the time!
ReplyDeleteJust get a big apartment wherever you go. That's the MOST important thing. JK. I'm so excited for you and can't wait to find out what's in store for you. Such exciting times!
ReplyDeleteI know it's a leap of faith to move to a new place, but there's friends waiting for you. I'm excited to see where you'll go!

ReplyDeletethis is AWESOME! I have a couple of dental friends posted in Germany right now! GOOD luck!!
ReplyDeleteHe has to go to boot camp!?!?? EEK! Tell him to start preparing now! Jeremy said it was the toughest thing... mentally and physically... he's ever been through. He cried every, single day. :-( And he was even at the top of his Boot Camp group (in physical and educational!). Regimen? Oh, I forget what a Boot Camp group is called. LOL. Ah well. And Jeremy's was 7-8 weeks. I thin the Army is shorter, so at least there's that! ;-)
ReplyDeleteSo exciting that you get to find out in about a month! Woo! Can't wait to hear! And I hear that Ft. Benning, GA is awesome! Steph Howell was there! :-)
So exciting!!!!
