Mrs....beer put in for a job in Japan about a month ago. She got an interview last week and they called her references the next day. The day after the hiring manager emailed her saying due to recent changes in regs she needed to speak with Mrs...beer's immediate supervisor and what was their contact info? Sooooooo... probably a pretty good chance we'll be moving to Japan! PCS (meaning the .gov will pay for our house to sell, pack and move us), housing allowance, and over seas stipend included! I can't retire from work until Nov 2024, so once the house sells, I'll head over to Japan for a month or so with the family to get settled with the Mrs and the girls. Then I'll probably head back to Colorado Springs where the boy is in the Space Force and hang out with him in a rented room until Nov, retire, and head over! I mean.... we're pretty sure it's a go at this point, but it's been fun thinking about a new adventure. Everything I've read is pretty good stuff. We'd have to sell our cars and just buy there, but seems pretty cheap, like Lexus with 50,000 miles for $4k cheap. We'd have to live on the military base but I think I'd rather. The digs are smaller than American places, but the price is right! Usually first contracts are for 3 yrs but you can only stay for 5 total anyway. Then they move you back. Anyway... juat an update. Oh also we did end up adopting my brothers little girl. She's 4 this year so... yeah for starting over! My youngest is 15... haha.
