Good...no, GREAT NEWS!

I don't know all the correct military terminology (but then since I'm fairly certain that I don't have too many readers out there in cyber-space my "blunders" will be easily overlooked!) but I did want to congratulate our son-in-law (Travis) who is getting a new position in Missouri next month.

We are all very delighted with this news ; it is a one-year position and will be followed by his Captain course (also at Ft. Leonard Wood) and this means that Travis will not be deploying during this time. Of course, it's also a great position for Travis and means that he will get to serve in a rather unique capacity which enables him to see and learn much more about the military (helping him decide where he'd like to be stationed next, whether the military is a career-choice, etc.) All very good things - but of course some of us are just glad to know that he will be stationed stateside for another 1+ year.

Unfortunately it does mean that we don't get a trip to Texas in October to visit the soon-to-be-newest member of the family and help them move to Missouri since they will most likely already be in St. Roberts by the time we return from our cruise. I guess the helping them move excuse will be gone - we'll just have to show up in Missouri instead.
