Whirlwind

Over the next few months you may find me vent, rant, ramble and talk aloud on here on Chief's options. (well I hear me talking aloud!) 
He's out to sea, well seems like forever. They have made it to port twice and he has had 3 job offers.
 I am so friggin proud of him. He is up for his "review" soon and will talk to the BIG D soon. BIG D being the Detailer.  Now while a lot of you are already with your significant others, wherever you are stationed, I am in Minnesota and he is stationed in Hawaii. And no I don't talk like Fargo. ;) 
The new jobs would be Guam or Japan. WOW. Nothing like getting an email asking what I think and having every possible emotion run through me at that very moment. Have you experienced this? 
First and foremost, I will support Chief with whatever decision it is that he makes when he talks to the Big D.  I know that the experiences in another country would be AHHHHHH-mazing for many things, to include travel, history, culture, food, etc.
Second I have never lived anywhere but MN. Chief and I are both from here, but he has been in the Navy 13 years now, and lived in 5 different states. So initially, leaving everything my Minny and I know, scares the bananas out of me.  This is where our support system, family and lives have been.  As long as we can all be together I know this will be great. If he chooses Japan it would mean shore duty followed by yet his last 3 years before retirement - ON SHORE DUTY.
 We all know with our men gone on deployment how fabulous this would be!!!!!!!!!!

Again as I said, I will support Chief NO MATTER WHAT decision he makes. And I know when the three of us are finally together again, nothing will seem to matter - even the location.

So I must ask YOU:
1. Where are you stationed with your significant others?
2. Is anyone in either of the above mentioned places?
3. If you moved far, what was the easiest and the hardest thing about it?

Thanks for just letting me get this out.
