Transportation Office

We just recently made a trip to the transportation office to begin the paperwork for our upcoming move. Many people have told me that since we are moving such a short distance (about 200 miles) to just do a DITY move and pocket the extra cash. Well, call me lazy but I just don’t want [...]

A New Acronym

Well, for me anyway. As many of you know, my husband is being medically retired from the Army. As part of that, we had to attend a retirement brief. Well, technically, he had to attend but spouses were “highly encouraged” to be there so we all know what that means. I now finally have an [...]

It’s Here!

The new message board is finally here! We now have so many more features. It is a little overwhelming at first but I think it is going to be great. The old message board has been disabled. But it is not gone – so if you need something from it, please let me know. To [...]

Very Excited!

When we received the phone call on April 13th that my grandfather had passed away, we were packing up the car to meet with the realtor in north Georgia. We had found a house on our previous trip and were planning to meet my parents at the house to get their opinion before signing the [...]

The War on Terror is the first in which American soldiers and their families can communicate with each other, in real time, through advanced communications [...]

According to the announcement today, every Army soldier currently on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan and those to deploy in the future will [...]

Weird Conversation

I had to go in to renew my decal for my car today. I just love those official visits when you get to wait for what seems like an eternity! And even though I always take all of my documentation with me, there’s just never any guarantee with the Army that you’ll have what they [...]

I Braved the Commissary

How funny is that?! We have been a part of the Army family since 2003 and I’m just now making my way into the commissary! It’s not exactly the first time though. I went with a friend not too long after we first moved here. It was on payday. Now those of you who have [...]
