Well, since I last wrote we took and passed the driving exam. That involved a trip to the nearest other base: Schinnen Army Garrison (which is about an hour south of us). We also got to use their commissary and their PX. A PX is a Post eXchange -- sort of a department store...if I call it PX then it is on an Army base, BX (Base eXchange) is for the Air Force. It is a small, efficient base. We met the incoming commander there, and they change command the following week from Eric.
Eric is still not the commander (that happens Monday). He is busily drinking from a fire hose and trying to learn everything by then...but handling things really well, considering.
We did a walk through of the house and will sign the lease soon. We will be allowed to move on 1 July. I have heard nothing about either shipment, but will chase that all down on Monday while Eric is busy with DVs. (Distinguished Visitors)
We went to the base from which we are Geographically Separated: Spangdahlem. I know, we are actually separated from every base...but in this case, Eric's boss actually works at Spangdahlem. This means that Eileen has now been to Belgium and Germany as well as Holland.
We visited the Dutch Officer's Mess (at their invitation) and had a lovely time.
That's all I have time for now, but our e-mail address hasn't changed!
