完全不同的生活

在許多因素的考慮下,小藍先生決定加入空軍,成為職業軍人。

因為小藍先生要全職工作,所以無法修太多學分,因此,要畢業好像遙遙無期。

加上現在的經濟不景氣,實在很怕被裁員。 因此,他跟我談到要加入軍隊的想法。

在軍中,他可以接受職業訓練,並且,也能抵修學分。

雖然他的薪水跟現在在聯邦快遞的工作差不多,但是,軍中還會有房屋津貼和食物津貼,所以加起來是現在的兩倍。

再加上全額的醫療保險,還有每2-3年會換駐防的地點,說不定我們可以駐防到日本,韓國,及歐洲等等。

在詳細的了解和考慮之後,我覺得這對他和我們家庭來說,是目前最正確的決定。

因此,就這樣決定了。

小藍先生會在8月28日離開,去基本訓練營兩個月,之後需要接受職業訓練4個月。

在基本訓練後,我們就會知道我們第一個駐防的地點了。

對了,美國軍隊的家屬是跟著軍人們一起去駐防的地點的,所以我們也要跟著他跑來跑去囉!

這就是我們家即將要發生的重大變化囉!


PS---很多人問我這個問題,小藍先生戴眼鏡,怎麼能加入空軍呢?
他是遠視,加上他不是飛行員。他的工作是networking電腦系統連線的方面,所以跟他戴眼鏡沒關係啦!


PS--留言告訴我你們的想法喔!

New adventures will soon arrive

I always wondered who Ian would react to sudden and dramatic changes in his life and surroundings. I'm not sure if he will be like me and sorta "go-with-the-flow" or if he will be like his mama and have a hard time to adjust. Hopefully he will be some where in the middle, accepting but cautious. I'm always worried that he will not be accepting of new changes and enviroments. But I hope and pray that he will continue to be the ball of energy and joy that he is. I have been pondering on how he will like it being a son of an Air Forceman, will he be what they call an "army brat" or will he be labeled as a "normal" kid? As a father, I always want the best for my family, I just hope that Ian sees it that way when he can understand the situation, and not hate my decision to join Air Force. But as a parent and husband, Caroline feel that this is a really good move for us and for now, Ian. I'm worred thatIan will not understand and will freak out, in his own funny way, to this channge.

Regardless, I will still love him because thats what parents do, they love their children unconditionaly. Thats one of the best parts of being a parent, the love you feel from them. The joy of love ^_^ Basic will be hard due to the fact I cant see him, along with tech school. But with the sacrifice will come great blessings and joy.
