Way to fast, its almost may, jason leaves july Sad reality is setting in that he could possibly die over there or get hurt, had an anxiety attack the other night wich i hope doesnt occur again but most likely will. But ahh i dunno what to do, i cant be here alone while hes gone or i will end up having full blown panic attacks and i have children to care for. Most likely going to nc but i dont wanna fly alone i dont know how im gonna get off the plane holding jordynne , with joseph and his carseat and keepin him from running away so i can get the stroller at the front of the plane to put em both in to get to the other gate, ah i wish they had nonstop flights, some stop in charlotte nc but i looked up from here to charlotte and they stop in washington then charlotte. charlotte is 4 hrs from my sister but raleigh is an hr away so im most likely flying in there so i dont have to switch planes twice to go into fayetteville. But there is still one switch. AH this is soo nerve racking and jordynnes passport if it takes 8 weeks would get here middle of june, so cutting it close with jason leaving, i hope we get it befor ehe leaves and our taxes so he can take me to the airport. We are still waiting for her ssn, the lady said u can go to the website to look it up and print out there ssn if it was applied for before the card to do the taxes but i couldnt find anything on there site about that i might call in a lil while, we got the form to do the amendment so we are able to do this yrs taxes, we do the amendment for sure may 2nd!. But the tax money is what im gonna be using for the plane ticket too so eh, right now its just like blah im stuck. Things will be a little better when jasons back he gets back sat night or sunday.
I hate the commercials on AFN here, theres one where they show teh guys fighting the war and theres a song on it and i can only remember one lyric where it says "im not afraid to die" everytime i see that commercial it depresses me. i saw it last night and started crying thinkin about when jasons gonna be over there and stuff. I wish we didnt have these depressing commercials from the military on TV , they dont help at all.

i don't know for sure but i'm pretty sure you can't get out of it. besides, it would look pretty cowardly. this is what he signed up for, to protect our country.

i'm sorry, diane. i can't even imagine how stressful this must be. at least you won't be stuck there while he's away. did you tell the passport people you needed jordynne's passport quickly? i think they can put a rush on it, though there may be a fee. i remember i planned an impromptu trip to ireland and realized my passport was expired, i got my new one within 10 days.

good luck with everything and try to think positively!

Are you planning to fly on an airline or by military. If you go the airline route, you can probably get a flight attendent to help you with one of the kids.

Good luck to you!!!

flying regular airline, its a no fee govt passport so they cant put a rush on it i asked, she asked if he was getting deployed and he said probably july so i dunno what that means but she when i called said 8-10 weeks and cant put a rush on it. Flying here i got no help from the flight attendants , especially not in the states they were nicer on the international half of the flight, i just dont want a horrible flight like the one i was on coming here that was the worst and joseph wasnt even the problem.
He is stuck with what he is, his ets date of when he could get out is april 2009 but hes staying in for the 20 yrs. the only way he wouldnt go is if i were like 4 mths preggo right now or something they would move it to a later date for him and switch him companies other then that he is stuck going.

I Hate Living Overseas
and this is why
The USAG Hohenfels Community is asked to be vigilant regarding the
presence of a local national in a maroon Mercedes Benz 190D who has been
observed conducting surveillance of the Hohenfels Army Airfield from off
post locations in and around the city of Hohenfels. The license plate
number on the vehicle is DGF JP 27. Should anyone encounter this vehicle
or person or anyone else conducting surveillance activities or hanging
around US Housing Areas, they should immediately contact the USAG
Hohenfels Military Police at
466-2812 or 09472-83-2812, or the German Polizei. Gather as much
information as you can about the person or persons suspected. Digital
photographs of the person or persons and their activities are
particularly helpful. At a minimum, please write down the type of
vehicle, license plate number, and color of vehicle. Also observe the
number of persons in the vehicle, and provide a short description of the
persons (Height, weight, type of clothing).
so we are on a heightened alert, threatcon is still bravo but they told us to heighten our security and just keep a look out and not talk about info that could help people in case someone is listening and tryin to plan a terrorist act. so joy , gah i hope he comes back sat night . i dont want something to happen and hes still in graf Sad
