As you might have gathered from earlier posts we are getting
stationed in South Korea. This was a real shock to all of us it was 27th
on our wish list followed by Ft Rucker, AL; and Ft Polk LA – and my spouse
already has over 20 years in the Army so we would be potentially retiring at
the end of our tour in Korea – hmm seems complicated to me. We live our lives “at the needs of the Army”
so South Korea it will be.
In 4 weeks we have managed to get 2 passports each (one of
the bureaucratic hoops we get to jump through), the cat and dog have their
shots and lab work, we had our physicals, and some needed paperwork has come in
so that I can start the next series of appointments. My time has been loaded with interesting ‘things
to do’, seems our last duty station didn’t put any of our medical visits in the
computer so I had to re-do all the fun appointments – the boob smasher, and
every lady loves “could you scoot a little farther down the table?” Fortunately
even with the constant need to do things twice we are still moving down the
check list.
Unfortunately it has
taken up so much of my time I haven’t been able to do research on the fun parts
of moving to South Korea, just the nuts and bolts of getting 4 humans, a dog,
and a cat there. I have lots of ideas I want to research – local festivals,
National events and celebrations, and basic info- what is the weather like *sigh* hopefully I will have some cool things
to tell eventually, right now I need to get on the phone and check the cost of
shipping an 80 pound Lab from Dallas to Seoul . . . .
