  • Our Story
    We met online in a Christian chat room in 2006, and married in the Philippines on my first and only visit there in January 2008. She was an elementary school teacher, and then the youngest principal EVER in the Philippines. She gave it all up to come be with me at age 34. She became a naturalized US Citizen right after Basic Training for the Air Force Tennssee Air National Guard in 2013. Now she has become a Registered Nurse (RN), and an active duty USAF officer (Captain). I am proud of her. She now has a very good second career after giving up a very good career in the Philippines to join me. We have a beautiful and intelligent 12 year old son who is homeschooled by me. He is learning mixed martial arts, is a member of the Civil Air Patrol, and has ambitions to attend the U.S. Air Force Academy.

  1. I haven't posted here in a long time. My wife immigrated to Tennessee in 2009 to join me. She was a teacher, and then Principal in the Philippines. Here in the USA she reinvented herself. She is a Captain (soon to be Major) in the U.S. Air Force Nurse Corps. We were stationed in Germany for 4 years, and now have been in Alaska at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson for over a year now. Currently, even while on active duty, she is working on her PhD in Healthcare Administration. We share a 14 year old son who plans on going to the U.S. Air Force Academy when he graduates high school (a gpa of 4.0, straight A+ student!) Just posting this to show how this journey really can work out great! God bless you all in the journey!

    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

    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.
  4. She keeps me on track in my life, loves me unconditionally, and without a doubt God used her (and our son) to save my life

    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.
  6. Yes, correct. And those likewise were amazing successes. But this is picking up where we left off, with completely new technology that requires extensive testing, and the first steps to not only visiting the moon, but also living and working there. And then beyond, to Mars. It is a pitty that we did not continue on, 50 years ago.
  7. I am very happy for the successful launch of Artemis I, and the successful recovery of the Orion capsule. It is something that we all can take pride in. Oh, I am sure that someone out there can pooh pooh on it, somehow. But I think MOST people would be very happy with the success of this mission. I am so tired of the divisions in our great nation. For me and my family, this successful mission seems something we can all celebrate together. Including our allies, such as Germany, the European Union, who provided the very successful service module! What a great day in history.
