Who's on First?!

Today I received an email from the person in charge of making base assignments for the Air Force. She asked me to provide information about when I would be graduating and she would tell me which bases would have needs for a nurse anesthetist at that time period. I quickly responded to her request and twenty minutes later received a response listing four state side bases asking me to choose my top two. The first was Keesler AFB in Mississippi, second Eglin AFB in Florida, third, Lackland AFB in San Antonio, TX, and last Nellis AFB in Las Vegas, NV.  Of those choices we picked Florida and San Antonio. There was however a sentence under the stateside choices that said "If Misawa, Japan were available would you be interested?" My wife, Cami, and I stared at the question in absolute disbelief. We responded that we would absolutely be interested. The kids are thrilled with all three possibilities. We will find out where we will be assigned in mid-October. I will keep you posted.
