    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

    Awesome thing to see. How are you liking Germany as a dependent? I have some coworkers over there know working for the Army

    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.

    I agree this is an accomplishment, but didn’t we already reach the moon 50 years ago using technology from the 1960’s?

    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.

  4. 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.

  5. Call this number below. I did, 10 years ago, and was helped, when I was trying to get my wife help for naturalization. This number is exclusively for military AND their families.

     

    *********************************************

    877-247- 4645
     
    USCIS MILITARY HELP LINE
    You or your family may also contact the toll- free military help line, 877-CIS-4MIL (877-247- 4645, TTY 800-877-8339). Our representatives are available to answer calls Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. (Eastern), except federal holidays.
  6. Is she already in the military? If so, she can have her citizenship expedited as a service member. My wife went in the Air National Guard before becoming a U.S. citizen, but was only eligible for non-security jobs. She got her U.S. citizenship right after Basic Training, but she stayed in her same Guard job for 6 years. After she got out of the Guard, she received an active duty direct commission as an officer in the Air Force Nurse Corps. She is now a Captain, with a Secret clearance. We are currently in Germany, awaiting word of where we will be assigned next in 8 months from now.

  7. My question now is, what will happen after she leaves? If China takes harsh action against Taiwan after this, I really don't believe Biden will honor his promise to defend them. My wife feels we shouldn't get involved. I guess I tend to agree, unless our allies are in danger, such as the Philippines, South Korea or Japan. That's my gut feeling, I guess. But then we never should have made a promise to Taiwan, in that case, that we had no intention to keep, if we do nothing

    Smoking Gun?  Biden's Sale of Oil From Strategic Reserve Went to Chinese Company Connected to Hunter Biden

    Grrr....

     

    It is our "Strategic Reserve"... Biden acts like an out of control drug addict, throwing away money here and there and not getting anything for it, but in this case he is "spending" what our country needs for a true emergency.

    To me, one of the most reasonable laws they could pass is if anyone is arrested with, and convicted for having, an illegal gun, they get a mandatory 5 years in prison regardless of what political identity category they fit.  No prosecutorial discretion, do not pass Go, do not collect $200.

    And add to that 10 years for committing a crime while using any weapon if found guilty. And no concurrent sentencing. No time off for good behavior.

    The American service man or woman has fought in many wars, and died. Or wounded. War hurts everyone. No winners. But those who gave their life for the brother or sister next to them, let us always think of. Never forget the sacrifice they made for their countryman, just doing their duty the best they could.

    War sucks.  A life ĺost in war is just a sad thing, whatever the reason.  Never forget them
