I have a sponsor assigned to me already and I’ve already been contacted–yay! A sponsor is someone at your gaining base who’s there to answer all your questions and help you get settled when you arrive. They’re usually from the workcenter you’re going to. I’m just happy because now I have someone to answer all the questions that have been nagging me 🙂
There’s not a whole lot I can really do at this point, but everything is slowly coming together. And anyone who knows me will know how I need to plan ahead. If everything works out alright, I’ll have the movers pick up my stuff in June. Since Scott is still here, I’ll still have use of furniture up until I leave. I won’t ship my car until I leave since rental cars are cheaper in the States. Then Damien and I will leave sometime during the last two weeks of July to ND. Scott MIGHT come too…hopefully. We’ll stay a week to help Damien get settled in with my parents and then I’ll be off to Virginia for inprocessing and house hunting. I get 8 days of house hunting. So if everything goes well, my stuff will be there already or I won’t have to wait very long. Scott should be able to help me find a place to live and we can spend a little bit of time scoping out the area. I can get on the waiting list of the on-base daycare as soon as I have my orders. I think that pretty much sums up all the details for now.
I wish I had an updated picture of Damien to include…I’ll have to take some pictures this weekend or something.
