The wife and I as well as one of our daughters and her husband are flying to San Angelo, TX, this afternoon - going to see our Army brat. It's almost a family reunion. We hear Texas is beautiful this time of year and finally we'll see for ourselves. We'll also spend a few nights in San Antonio. My bride is all excited... I just don't enjoy the hassle of flying; I would rather drive to Texas.
After eight and a half years she has decided to leave the Army and will be done next January.She was considering a career but her MOS apparently is no longer critical (Arab translator) and no one in her field is receiving promotions. She likes being a SIGINT instructor at Goodfellow but the Army won't keep her there like they said they would when she got the job. Instead they were going to send her on some crap assignment to Florida - she declined and now she is not allowed to re-enlist for a year. She's looking for a reserve or NG unit to join instead. In any event, she won't be returning to NYS and I don't blame her.
We'll return home late next week so I don't think I'll be posting much, if at all, for a while.
Keep the faith my friends.
And on a closing note; does anyone feel that this Republican scrum is nothing but a tactic to discourage conservative voter turnout for the November elections? Heil Hillary.

Texas is beautiful - wild flowers everywhere. The moisture has made the place very green and lush. I was through San Angelo two weeks ago.
Go fishin'! Both Twin Buttes and Nasworthy should be full right now. Also, the Concho river is a lovely place to walk and/or picnic.
All the best to you and yours Sig.
The Arizona desert -if you went out and walked in it- is fantastic this time of year. Cactus flower, etc.
Politics? Hell yea it's all rigged, corrupt, and propagandized by the media. Foreign media regard the US election process as the most cluster thing ever to hit the planet. And they're right.
LL - I really like San Angelo. We met some of Danielle's friends (the Griffins) who explained that the city is quite a popular place for military retirees.
Longbow - we took a walk along the Concho. One of Danielle's dogs, Greta - a 95 lb boxer/pit bull mix, yanked her leash from her and took off after some geese and chased them into the water. The stupid dog swam after the geese for probably 200 yards before she returned to shore. I was sure we'd all get arrested.
Kid - I was surprised at how green everything was. I guess it doesn't last very long though. The different colored flowers all along the roadways really caught your eye. And the weather ...
