Finally got to this site, have been a member of the Yahoo group for some time. As for us, we currently reside in New Palestine, Indiana and snow-bird over to the Philippines. I am retired from the Military, 13 years USMC, 12 US Army, I did retire from the Army, however I will be a Marine first and foremost. I was stationed at both the Embassy and Marine Barracks, Subic. Also did various training operations in the Southern Philippines and Luzon. Married the last 3 years of my career, as I did not want to put someone thru my constant volunteering for deployment. My wife hails from Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu.
We have a 21 month old daughter, very active little girl. We enjoy our life here, but wait for the time we can move permantly to the PI. We snow-bird for now, as both my parents are alive, and my grandparents. We have a close knit family, so I feel that it would be cheating them out of seeing the baby. I currently work for the State of Indiana with duty as a Supervisor for the Range Training and Land Program (RTLP) at Camp Atterbury in Indiana.
We have traveled alot since I retired in 2006, all by space-a, which for the military is space available. It cost me zero dollars as well as the family to travel anywhere in the world. We have flown back 1 way from certain destinations as there was no aircraft inbound, but that has been 6-7 times over the past 2 years, so I\'m not complaining.
Semper Fi!
