Haven't heard anything from TX. Interesting that it was "hurry up and wait" three weeks ago. I talked to the overseas people this AM, and apparently the overseas unit is very interested in me, wants to know if I can stay 2 years instead of 1. I enquired about the overseas people's credentialing and security process, and apparently they have their own. They should be readily able to expedite their part. I also told the overseas people that as I had not heard from the TX people, I could probably go overseas at an earlier date. I asked if there were any openings in Greece. There are none. Shucks! Just finished reading Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell. Totally awesome book, and very upsetting. It provides a good look into the training/life of a SEAL. Highly recommended reading. Other news is that my current boss had unexpected bypass surgery, replacing 3 valves. I spoke with him yesterday, and he is being released home. Can't return to work for 12 wks. He is a major factor in my not wanting to leave the current job, but if he is out of commission, it is a whole new ballgame. My niece (the one adopting) came over this past weekend and went through some of the remaining baby stuff I had. I have been cleaning out my house, getting ready for who knows what. She seemed delighted to have what I gave her, and I am very glad to be getting rid of clutter.
