Ugh the Army life sometimes!!

First I'll start with the cruddy--- We dont get to go to the ball after all. The unit holding decided that if you where coming from outside their unit (which isnt John's unit) you had to be an E-7 or higher!! Needless to say there are alot of people unhappy. John's unit is supposed to have an all ranks ball this summer but honestly Im not holding my breath that would mean the FRG would have to do some work.

Now on to the better stuff--- After talking to Housing and finding out that the area we wanted is getting ready to be put under a freeze for a minimum of a year we changed housing areas. Changing that gave us a 30 day window for moving--- We will be moving onto post between April 15th and May 15th!!!!!!!

John's going to be going to the Warrier Leadership Course probably in May. This will get him his promotion as right now he is sitting 50 points or so away from an automatic promotion. The course is at Ft. Lewis. He will be gone Mon- Fri and be able to be home on weekends. He cant go any sooner then May due to the fact that the Sgt for his section just left for Fort Sill for school.

We see the light at the tunnel not only for his promotin but moving on post (since this area seems to be going down hill fast and has police here on a daily basis!)
