This coming spring, Lana and I will be moving to Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany where I'll be the Weapons Officer of the 480th Fighter Squadron Warhawks! It was a surprise to us, and the news came about in the course of 2-3 days. We're excited at the chance to live in Europe again, especially Germany since Lana is from there.
We'll be leaving Shaw AFB around mid April to arrive at Spangdahlem the beginning of May. Lana is due 19 Feb with baby #2, so this will give us time to get the passport for our flight over. We have enjoyed our time at Shaw, and can hardly believe it's been almost 2 years since we arrived. We're moving about 10 months early according to the 'normal' 3 years time on station military members usually have at a particular assignment.
Well, I need to get ready and head to work...3 more flights in the Weapons phase here at Weapons School, and then a nice long Thanksgiving weekend with the family!

Yay! Congratulations! We're so happy for you guys! See you soon!
=( but at least you'll be near some family. Even though you've been stateside we still haven't been able to see you guys enough. Looking forward to Christmas. Is Germany another 3 year assignment or does that change now that you're a weapons officer?
Tell us if we can be of any help with anything. We look forward to seeing you again. Any ideas on how long you expect to stay in Spangdahlem?
Celine,
2-3 years is a normal tour in the military...lets hope it's closer to 3!
