Step One!

After a month of preparations....such as selling stuff I never will need again. Many, many dental visits for myself, 4 cleaning visits for my kids, one pap exam, and taking and leaving my car where it will reside for the next 3 years or so. And the drama of getting all immunizations done!  

But today was the ***first*** official step one! After printing off the official orders I was on my way to our local Naval hospital. There I got a pile of papers from the Overseas screener. The process is fairly easy , and straight to the point. Yes,there are gazillions of forms, but we are a family of 6, so it would be very easy sans the many dependents that all need their own special forms. We made a swing by dental on base where I was given yet another pile of papers to ready before we head there Monday for our exams. I highly recommend you make the dental appointment in person. And have your records if you see a off base dentist...to include x-rays. Makes it easier on all. 

Let me say, I feel great getting this major step underway. We are off in a few min. for 5 dr visits where we get the forms for medical completed. We are frozen to really move forward (well, at least make commitments!) until the area clearance from Oki comes back.  But I did find out our local office can clear us on the spot if we have no "issues". That made me almost sing for joy! 

Here is my pile I am carrying all over!
