Orders are in

Hi Everyone.

We got our our orders......

If I thought moving to Kentucky was bad, the Army has better ideas for me to experience what is bad. We got orders to Ft. Benning Georgia. It's located on the Georgia Alabama border.

When I called my dad last night (who has 22 years military service under his belt) to let him know, the first thing that came out of his mouth was...."UGH!, sweetheart, you're going to HATE Georgia."

It was deja vu. Greg said the exact same thing, replacing sweetheart with Susanne. So, the two men who know me best think I'm going to hate it. I'm determined to enjoy it ;) and prove them wrong. Although both of them told me that Columbus is a racist area. (scary) They both told me that everyone there is racist. Blacks, whites, Jews, Christians......... And from what I've learned about the south so far is that everyone is VERY conservative, which makes me stand out like a sore thumb. SO we have liberal Susanne, who is entirely against the war, married to a soldier, going to live in the deep south. Lets hope I can keep my mouth shut so I don't get myself killed;)
I've started looking for job and a home. Yet, I'm still hoping that the Army personal made some sort of SERIOUS mistake and accidentally gave us someone else's orders. (Georgia wasn't even on our list of choices!!!) If not, wish me some SERIOUS luck!!!!!

Regardless, we're likely to visit WA in the late spring, so I'll be wanting...no DEMANDING to see everyone!!!!
