Proud Father

[JoBri 547]

Life is moving along after 14 years post-VisaJourney. My wife from the Philippines is a Captain in the U.S. Air Force Nurse Corps. We are stationed in Germany. Our son is in Civil Air Patrol on base, and was just promoted to Cadet Airman First Class. My wife pinned his rank on him. He wants to get selected to the Air Force Academy in a few years and become a fighter pilot. Life is good, especially since I was active duty Army, and now my family keeps me connected to the military to the end of my days.

We have traveled a lot. I was here for 5 years when active Army before. Four years this time as a dependent. We are looking forward to change though, as our PCS approaches in July. Don't have orders yet though.

 

My wife works at the Army hospital here. I homeschool our son, and will do so for one more year, until he goes to high school. But I am very happy to live each day around the military again. It feels like home to me.

Do you have an idea where she is PCSing to next, how are you feeling about that? I have always heard that living in Germany with the AF/Army is pretty great. A lady I used to work with is over there right now loving life. She actually extended over there because she went in December 2019 right before Covid hit and wasn't able to do much then. Now they are doing alot of things and they are living it up. She is constantly trying to get me over there but to be honest with you I am trying to go over to Japan or Singapore as a DAC.

Just recently we found out we are going to Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Anchorage, Alaska.

 

We also came to Germany in 2019. But we still managed to see sooo much in spite of COVID. My family and I are ready for a change. My son forgets most things about America, and he wants to experience that too. He is looking forward to the snow in Anchorage
