The List

Here's the list of overseas assignments I'm competing for:

Einseidlerhof - 1 slot
Ramstein - 1 slot
Hickam - 2 slots
Incirlick - 2 slots
Lajes - 2 slots
Osan - 6 slots

If I put Osan or Lajes anywhere on my dream sheet, they default to my number one choice because they're short assignments. My dilema now is do I leave them off the list and hope for one of the 2 Germany positions, or do I just go ahead and do the short tour. Doing the short would allow me to choose a follow-on assignment and greatly increase my chances of getting back to Europe. On the other hand, it's a year or more that I'll be away from Aidan...sigh. I'm leaning towards just going to Korea and then getting a follow-on to Germany right now.

Speaking of Germany, I'm going to Garmisch at the end of June for a couple of days. I'm going to take a day or two of leave while I'm over there and try to get up to Sembach (oh and of course Il'Cappriccio).

Going to Detroit this weekend. I have Thursday and Friday off. I was suppose to go camping in Maine, but the plans fell through.
