..... Before i met my Husband i NEVER thought i would move to a different state, let alone another country, But meeting my husband changed my whole life around!. Now every Woman that met her soulmate says that, but my life changed in more ways then just emotional!. My Husband is in the US. ARMY and when we first started dating i NEVER imagined it to be so hard, i knew he would be gone for a year at the time, plus his Training in the Field and TDYs throughout the Year, but i never expected it to be so challenging!. Now 4 years, and three daughters {plus another little miracle on the way} later, i am facing the probably biggest challenge of my life!. We are about to PCS {Permanent Change of Station}. Fort Hood will be our new home for the next 2 + years comming March 4th. In this blog i will share MY experiences during this journey!. And i would like to start at the very beginning, my husband recieving orders.....
My Husband was still deployed, when i found out he came down on Orders........ i really didnt want to open the email....... because i KNEW it would NOT be the Duty station we wanted LOL. Well after staring at the screen for almost an hour i opened it {while i was on the phone with my husband} and all i could really say was {sorry my cussing}
OH.MY.FUCKING.GOD.................{hubby"WHAT"}............OH.MY.FUCKING.GOD...... {Hubby"oh boy.. i know what that means".................................. FUCKING.FORT.HOOD...... WE.ARE.GOING.TO.FUCKING.FORT. HOOD.TEXAS....... DID YOU HEAR ME TOM:????????? HOOD :-o...... TEXAS!!!!!!!!!!! ='(((
jup that about sums it up.... Ft Hood was Nr1 of our " i NEVER want to be stationed at...." List. LOL.
We put on our Dreamsheet
1. Fort Carson CO
2. Fort Lewis WA
3. Fort Knox KY
and for overseas: Hawaii.....
I KNEW we werent going to get any of the Above mentioned Duty stations, we Talked to Branch and they said they do have a spot in Carson & Lewis But Tom would have to wave his Dwell time, which was out of the Question!.
Now tat a few months went bye, i am actually excited to go to Ft Hood { not so much about the heat...... or the venomous insects etc} but i know a few REALLY nice ladies down in hood <3
Aw i almost cried when i read the "opening email" part.
ReplyDeleteIt sucks that he would have had to wave his dwell time and that would have been really stupid.
I am selfishly saying that i am glad though that you didn't go to Carson or Lewis lol they are both further away from us (driving wise) than texas is lol. the only cool one would have been Knox since that is only 10 hours away from us :) but honestly.... it wouldn't even matter on locations that are further away as long as you're happy. But i bet the sentence "I go where ever my husband goes" gets a total different meaning haha.
I am glad that you already know a few nice ladies in Hood. Try to stay away from the drama haha. After Baumholder i honestly think that every location is better than that.
We wanted to go to Hawaii too... yeah that didn't happen.
