I enjoy torturing myself

And who wouldn't, right? So as some of you may or may not know, we are due to transfer from FMB next year. No, we don't know where we're going next and we prob won't find out for at least six months. We have to wait 'til the "shopping list" comes out in September sometime to see what the available billets for G's rank are. Of course G couldn't make this easy, he's not sure if he wants to sit for the OiC review board so I'm not even sure which jobs he may be looking at. AND he's going to submit his Warrant package again for consideration next year so there's a very real possibility that we will transfer in 2010, he'll make Warrant and we'll have to transfer again in 2011. Sounds like fun, right? Right?!! It's even more so now that we'll have a kid (and very soon two kids) in school. Kinda makes me not even want to worry about where we'll go next if it's only going to be for a year.

Anyway. G always asks me where I want to go, but the way we try to pick is he goes through the list and picks the jobs that would interest him or further his career the most and then I put their locations in the order I'd like to go to. He's wanting to go to a certain size boat next, maybe. So just for fun I decide to go to the CG's page to see where they are all located to see what I might be dealing with. From the list of all the boats of that size, I've found 15 that are in locations that I could live with (assumedly anyway, since I've never actually lived at any of them LoL.) and only about four that I would be excited about going to. My list of fifteen have locations that range from Boston to St. Pete and everywhere in between. I think this year I'm going to have fun making the family guess where we've been transferred to. :)
