Tonight I am just here to update you on our current situation with Ben's orders. Johnstown, PA is now completely out due to the person that was supposed to be leaving is now staying. Both jobs at Cherry Point, NC are out. The depot job because it requires someone with a little more experience than what Ben has and it looks like the monitor doesn't want to work on 467 (the new squadron that they are putting together) because right now it is not a priority.
Ben emailed him before he left today about a possible FAC tour. (Forward air control.....for those that are civilian. It would mean that Ben would be on the ground side calling the air strikes in where they are needed.) I guess there is also a possibilty of going back to Pensacola, FL for flight school. Far, far, far in the WORST CASE Scenario, we could be headed back to CA for the training squadron. So back to my title, in other words we are trying to be very flexible. Your prayers in getting us where we are meant to be would be much appreciated.
I think that what we are leaning towards (if we can get it is) the FAC. One because it will be good for Ben's career. Two because it keeps us in the house for longer which is desirable for us. The only drawback is keeping Ben here for the baby's delivery and another deployment. I guess for whatever reason I feel safe with him in the sky but when you are talking about the ground.....I will have to color my grey hair! Like I have said, I will keep ya'll updated as we find out information!
Love you guys

Jones has LOVED his FAQ tour and he's now going to Virginia to be a FAQ instructor. Maybe he could be there when Ben goes. If Ben has questions about it, tell him to email Jones.

Thanks Bess! I think that we are trying for here at Lejeune. I am not sure if they go to VA? I can't wait until you guys are east coasters again!
