Well, I’m sure most of you have heard the news that Seth is selling his soul for another 4 years to the Marine Corps and he’s doing a lat-move into EOD, so April/May we’ll be moving from Okinawa to Florida where he’ll attend EOD schooling for 8-9 months. For those of you who aren’t familiar with military acronyms EOD stands for Explosive Ordinance Disposal. It is pretty self-explanatory and some pretty scary stuff, if you ask me, but it’s what he wants so I’ve got to do nothing short of support him. I’ve experienced some negativity when this has been mentioned so I can’t lie; I’ve had my doubts about how this would all pan out. However, I’ve become good friends with an EOD wife from work, Cassandra, and she’s helped me out a lot by offering helpful advice and showing me plenty of Internet sites. She even invited us to her and her husband’s going away party where we were welcomed by all of the EOD techs and family, no matter what rank they were. The wives gave me helpful information about EOD school in Florida and the guys joked with us all night long. It felt as if I had known these people all of my life. I’ve got to say nearly all my doubts disappeared on that night because of these great people. I cannot wait to become part of the EOD family!
They sound like a very kind and close knit group of people. They all look happy! Soo glad to hear that you have been given so much information from the wives. Im hoping I will get to meet a Mother of one of the men Seth will be in schooling with. I think it will be good to have someone to talk to and connect with. Im sooo excited for you two to come back to the States. Cant Wait!!!!!! Love you both Loads
