F-sil Got His Orders

[birol]

You are mote than welcome to pitch in (talk/post/chat) over here too, is what I am trying to say.  I don't post much at general these days ....watch me when we get a PU though

OK, Birol - what are you trying to say??
 
The Campfire is a bad section for me to be in, which is why it's one I lurk in and out of.  I express my opinion enough in General and Mr. Fixit.

F-SIL (Tim) arrive in San Diego and reported to ship yesterday (a day early) and found out some frightening news.  The ship he assigned to is apparently going to be sent to Japan.  Seems a ship in Japan is being decommissioned sometime in the next 6 months and his ship is going over there to replace it.  There is roomer that since his orders are so new, he may be reassigned to a different ship (they apparently are not sending any CS2's or CSE's.. not sure).  Also, unless you are at least a Chief Petty Officer, you cannot take a wife overseas unless on your $$$$ and then not allowed on base.  So we're holding our breath.
 
He called me yesterday and wanted to know how DD was doing; he didn't want to tell her until he knew more, but seems he ended up telling her late last night anyway... he can't keep any secrets from her.
 
My heart is just aching for them.

Arrrggghhh, that is some disturbing news, military life .... I have a very dear cyber friend who is also in the US NAVY. He gets assigned to the aircraft carriers all the time, if I told you the places he has been to, he would have to come and kill me

I hope it somehow works out and they consider assigning him to another ship or maybe he can stay at a base in USA.

Oh Nancy, I feel so bad for your DD and her future DH. The military can be both a heartbreaking and a rewarding career.  Its certainly very difficult when you have to be separated from your spouse for that long a time.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything works out for them!!!

yes--young love is difficult enough anyhow without all these complications.  keeping all of you in my thoughts Nancy and hoping that all will work out for your lovebirds.
