Congratulation!😊 I am also proud of my Husband! He is an Army RN and his first duty station is also Germany! He is just waiting for me to get there as soon as possible after this immigration headache. 😂

Just an update. We will be going to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, Germany, right next to Ramstein Air Base.

Off we go, into the wild blue yonder... Got the orders, and heading out. See ya on the German side of things

Couldnt be prouder of her. She made it. We will be leaving for Germany next month. She commissioned as a Second Lieutenant this morning. In 10 years in the USA from the Philippines she served 6 years as an Airman in the Air National Guard, and earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing and commissioned as an officer in the United States Air Force on active duty. Never in all of my imaginings, as a prior service Army Captain would I have ever dreamed I would have met and married someone who would do this. I lived 5 years in Germany when I was in the Army, so it will be like going back to my favorite home to me now. And the military always has felt like home to me too. I couldnt be happier.

Just thought I would post an update. My Filipino wife graduated Officer Training School and is a Second Lieutenant, United States Air Force, Nurse Corps. We are living off base, in a German house, near Ramstein Air Base. The first year she works as a nurse who meets the incoming patients on the flightline and escorts them to the hospital. We even went to Heidelberg, where I was at in the Army so many years ago.

They are good until 2021. She has ABUs from the 6 years she was in the ANG. Mandatory replacement date is 2021. So, yes

So, thought some might be interested. In the group picture is my Filipino wife, a Second Lieutenant, United States Air Force, Nurse Corps. This is a group picture of some of the nurses on her base here in Europe. The other nurses in the picture are all the rank of Captain to Lieutenant Colonel. The man to the far left next to my wife is also a Filipino, a Colonel. He is in charge of all the nurses in Europe. There are 2 or 3 other Filipinos in this picture, according to my wife.  The next picture is our family - wife, son and myself - after taking the train to Paris. The last picture is my wife at 1AM awaiting an inbound flight from Africa with a wounded soldier on board with a bullet in his leg. She is a part of the team that is responsible for transporting patients from point of injury to definitive treatment, from Europe, Africa, and Central Asia and then to the United States or back to their duty station. Her unit is the focal point in transporting wounded warriors and NATO forces between the aircraft and military medical facilities. She will be promoted to First Lieutenant in December. This year marked 10 years since her arrival in the USA. It is amazing what she has accomplished, and what she is giving back, since coming here. She loves the USA. She first was an airman in the Tennessee Air National Guard for 6 years, and then became an officer on active duty, in the United States Air Force. Her next Air Force assignment will be to attend the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner course in Maryland. 

 

I couldnt be prouder, as an ex-Army guy.

Promoted to First Lieutenant this past week here in Germany, this 10th anniversary year of arriving in the USA from the Philippines. Two more years to Captain.
