im so sorry i just saw your reply!!
how are you

Yea....I have to agree with having something TO wait for atleast. And yea, a panel meets supposedly and either approves your request for sponsorship, or denies. I noticed that every branch seems to be different there as well. The one thing I've noticed on like every forum I have ever came across with people waiting on a CS is they all get approved....so IDK if that means it's relatively just procedure to put in for it but ultimately everyone gets it granted or if those branches its just easier...whatever it is....I am optimistic we will get good news next week! If so , boy do I have a lot to take care of in 2 months!!!

Hey! My name is Lynsey BTW. We love it here. It is a bit of a culture shock when you first get here but it wears off pretty fast. Do you know when you will be headed this way?? If you have any questions at all feel free to message me

Yes I am very lucky! Everytime I complain about how boring Lejeune is, DB reminds me that he could have been sent to Hawaii or Pendleton and then I would only see him 1 or 2 times a year. So I feel very blessed!

Yeah it's very true, hardly any of DB's friends have decided to reenlist - but the Marines is what he has always wanted to do! It's definitely understandable that he wouldn't want to be in Okinawa. Being so far away from all his family, and of course you must be hard. I feel so lucky to have DB only 6 hours away!

I know what u mean about them dragging their feet! No nothing over here yet....not since his request to drop his follow on assignment got approved....the panel doesn't meet until the 28th .... the anticipation is killing me and I'm missing my other half more and more each day. :'( I thought each day is supposed to get easier!!!!

Yes! Summer is coming, today is the first day of Spring! Yes, it's definitely scary that we have absolutely no control over where they get sent. And, yeah, we are very, very lucky and blessed that he is so relatively close. DB has been in for 4 years, he just reenlisted for another 4. He's not sure if he wants to make a career out of it, or get out after 8. Does yours want to reenlist?

Hey girlie!! Any news with the CS yet??? Are we packing our bags!?

Aw, well fingers crossed it will work out for you! It's nice because it is near the beach.. and as much as I complain when I'm down there (He was supposed to stay up near me for another year - year and a half....but you know the usmc...) he always reminds me it is closer than Hawaii, or Okinawa. I can drive there for the weekend which is great. How much longer is DH in for?

Aw, are you going to go out there to be with him? DB just got restationed to LeJeune almost 2 months ago from DC. It's sooo boring there oh my goodness.
