On the Way!

We have orders!

I was given my orders at about 1550 today. While too late to get much done today, I am now on my way out of here.

It's going to be tight, as we fly on 22 November. Given that there are some holidays, here's the time frame...

08 November - Pickup clearing papers (nothing can happen without clearing papers). Also, try to juggle a medical appointment, a meeting, scheduling our household goods shipment.

09 November - Continue clearing, particulars decided by 08 November results.

10 November - Veterans Day. Nothing happens.
11 November - Saturday. (Party!)
12 November - Sunday. Guessing we'll move soon, so make sure we're ready for our house to be packed.
13 November - Training Holiday... most offices will be closed.
14 November - Vet appointment; continue clearing.
15 November - Truck scheduled for cleaning. Deep, deep detail cleaning for shipping, so nothing else will be accomplished today.
16 November - Pick up Dad and friend from the airport. They're coming over to help escort us back to the States.
17 November - Ship truck.
18 November - Saturday. M turns FOUR!
19 November - Sunday. It's getting close. Should be in a hotel by now.
20 November - Last bit of clearing.
21 November - Final out.
22 November - Say goodbye to Germany.

It's an intense and busy schedule, but we can do it... we're on the way now... no turning back.

Just became a lot more real... :)

(Technical note: Somewhere in there, our lines to the outside world will be cut. There will be a last post, and then... for a few days at least, "A Storm in Afghanistan" will go quiet as we relocate Storm Central to our temporary headquarters in the States. Please, continue stopping by, and any comments/e-mails will be answered as soon as our commo guys get some tin cans and string together.)
