Bout to leave for Yokosuka

Well, this is the most recent picture we have of Ashley. She is 34 weeks here. She seems to be a little uncofortable right now. She is definately ready to have this baby. We are both exciting and anxiously awaiting the arrival of baby Lola.

On Wednesday, we leave for Yokosuka Japan. Here in Iwakuni, they don't have the facilities to delivery a baby on base. We tried going out in town but Ashley was uncomfortable with how they did things. I tried to be strong for her, but it was kinda shady to say the least. The doctors out in town know very little english and I heard a rumor they don't normaly wear gloves unless you ask them. To me, that is just plain weird.

Below is a picture of where we are (Iwakuni) and where we are going (Yokosuka). For an idea how far it is from where we are now, I also included Hiroshima, which is about 43KM (25Miles) from Iwakuni. Yokosuka is a long damn way away. It takes about 6 hours on a train that goes 200mph. So we have a long ride ahead of us of Wednesday.

Recently, my boss came back from a Golf trip to Thailand. He went with 3 other buddy's and said the courses are amazing. The course gives you a caddy and apparently they know what they are talking about. They are little old ladies that have done this their whole life. Anyway, I am thinking about taking a trip their this spring with my boss. Ashley and a friend are talking about going to Guam to go shopping and I told her I would pay for her trip if she let me go on this golf trip. I guess we will have to wait and see about that before we make any plans. I know the baby will change everything.
Other than that, everything remains the same. Work is starting to pick up. I have been very busy doing alot of different things. Most of my problems are personnel. I have alot of people leaving in the next few months so that just means I have to be creative. I know some people would like me to write more about what I do. But for Operational Security, I will be very general when I talk about work.

My Flag football team is undefeated. We have played 5 games so far and are the only team on the base (of 12-15 teams or so) that hasn't lost a game. These guys get real competitive. There is alot of shit talking. It keeps it fun. Well, that's all for now. I will try and post more as we get closer to game time (the baby). Hope everyone is well.
