final countdown

Well we are down to the final month.  The past 6 months have flown by and we are to the end of our time in the United States.  This time next month we will be in Okinawa, Japan.  I still have to get the princess' travel passport, but everything else is good.  We have a couple more shots to get and we will be done with all of that.  It was a nightmare to clear the post and get away from the torturous unit we were in.  I would have low crawled with a flaming elephant on my back to get out of the company.  They even pushed back the soldier from getting cleared until it was a final rush and furry to get things done, and the harrassment didn't stop then either.  He would get phone calls asking what was going on, and how things were going.  Things are wild all over.  He did make Sgt, in March.  (about time)  Things there have gone ok.  It made our housing options better.  Speaking of housing, it looks like right now the housing options are pretty full in Okinawa.  From what we have been told, they are really full and giving people the choice of a 3 bedroom instead or moving off post.  I am hoping that this will still be the case when we get there.  I would live on post and not complain if we had an extra bedroom.  I told the soldier I would turn it into a craft room/guest bedroom.  He didn't complain.  I would enjoy being able to have my house looking really nice.  Who knows how things will fair after we unpack though.  The people coming to pack our stuff were idiots and it was not a plesant experience.  They took our bookcases, with the stuff on it, and just wrapped paper around them and loaded them up.  And of course our desktop computer was not even wrapped or prepared for moving.  Its going to be exciting to see all this funnnnn funnnn funnnn I'm going to have with the claims after I get there.  Well I am going to go for now and get some rest.  I am thinking I will write some more before heading out, but it depends on how things go.
