You know the time is coming, but it always seems to creep up a lot quicker than you realize. The fiance is up for orders, and we have been waiting for over a month to find out what the dates would be. We have known this is coming up, and for the most part have known where we are going, but the timing of when everything has to happen has been up in the air.
The range of emotions you go through when PCSing normally span pretty much everything. You go from upset, to sad, to happy to stressed, to acceptance. The last time I have actually PCS'd somewhere has been well over 10 years. So for me, that spectrum was a little smaller. I have been ready to leave this state for quite a while. I'm very much a coastal, bigger city type person and have been living in the suburbs for too long for me. I skipped completely over upset and sad, and have launched straight into happy.
Unfortunately, this means stress is not far behind. We'll need to sell the house we live in, instead of just moving and the military handling it all. This in itself is going to be an adventure. But we'll handle it, because that's what you do. And the payoff will be glorious. At least that's what I keep telling myself to avoid the freak out.
Might I mention it's also been 10 plus years since I've been fully submerged in military life as well. A few things have changed since then. Oh yeah, also, been a long, long while since living in base housing. I feel like a total newbie again.
Guess it's time to do some research ....
