It's that time again!

Ok so this might sound a little crazy but last year we requested what is called indefinite status at this base.  Basically it would allow us 4 extra years here if we wanted them but with the openness to leave when we wanted to.  We were granted this status and had plans to stay at least 2 more years.  Then the hubby was short tasked to deploy again this past fall.  Then he came home to "how would you like to move to this job in the squadron"...he took it.   First day back to work and he gets "oh we don't want you in this job now.  we had those 7 months you were gone to figure it out; we let you decide and that's not we think is best now; you need to move to this office instead".  Ok whatever.  In that office about a week and then it's "hmmm maybe we should move you to this office instead...we'll let you know in a few days if you're gonna move again".  On top of all that and other drama in the workplace he's fried!  He's stressed because of it and it takes a lot to stress out my man.  Then there's the chance that he'll deploy again as soon and January...oh yeah you read that right.  This would have been his regular rotation slot and he would of course have to fill it even though he just did one for someone else!  So with all that he's done.  He wants out of here.  He went in and did the proper paperwork to change our status from indefinite to moving in June 2012.  Come next summer we are outta here.  We hate to leave...we truly do love Italy!  The job has got to go...he needs new people to work with and not the morons here.  Can't say this move will solve all the work problems but it will give him new challenges and that's what makes him tic sometimes!  So now we wait and see what God has in store for the next chapter in our lives!  Where will we go?  Oh the places we may see....

I'm sorry to hear your hubby has been messed around so much. I don't know whether it would be exciting or daunting moving somewhere else around the globe.

I was wondering what your plans were for staying/leaving Italy.
