Danger!! Watch out!!

So I blogged a little while ago about Florida and the over population of Predators in this God Forsaken state.. in case you missed it, HERE it is. Well the good old state of Florida has done it again. They successfully added 17 more individuals to the list of sexual predators.  I'm not going to go off on another rant about how Florida is the worst state for child abductions or how about 1 in 8 residents of this great state is a sexual predator, No instead I am just going to post a picture with some names... Remember even though these guys were actually caught red handed coming into a house that was suppose to be used for sex with a kid, all of these "MEN" are innocent until they are tried by a jury of their peers... everything they did or wanted to do was alleged.. GO JUSTICE!! Oh by the way none of them have had any previous trouble with Law Enforcement... so can you say probation..... maybe 6 months in jail... sigh!!

Danger!! Watch out!!

Time moves forward even when you're standing still.

Graduation day today.. No not graduation for college or any institute of higher education. It a graduation from a month long military training school here in Jax. This will enable me to work on a specific type of military equipment while I am in Japan. Time has been moving sooo quickly this month, we are T-minus 24 days and counting, and in all reality I am not ready. There are soo many things that need to be accomplished before we leave. I wish that I could hit the pause button do what I need to do and then hit play again, but I can't so I'll just have to make due with the time I have.

I did find out some information I would like to pass on to anyone who may be thinking of taking of taking orders to japan or any other overseas location. If you have pets, really think long and hard about not taking them. I love all of my dogs and they are part of my family, but the military doesn't see it that way, to them pets are no different than any other material item you may have, as far as PCSing is concerned. Throughout this whole PCS process I have been told over and over that pets really don't matter, housing is based on dependants not pets, and there is more paperwork involved and a meticulous timeframe than there is for humans. This process has been a pain in my ass, but we have decided that they are worth it...to us. I just found out yesterday that in order for me to get my health certificate for my dogs I have to come on to base and get the exam done, then I have to take that certificate, drive all of the way to the USDA office in Gainesville, FL and pay them $122 for them to put a stamp on the certificate. Why can't they do this all o n base you ask, well it because there will not be a military vet available until mid July.. HMMM no Military Vet on a military base... that really doesn't seem right to me, but hey that's that way it is. Anyway our last week here is going to be busy and expensive. We have to pay the base vet, pay the USDA, pay the airline, book and pay for 2 hotel rooms, Pick up the in-laws at the airport, drive to Gainesville, pay the carpet cleaners, do the final inspection on our apartment, pay for any damages they make up... you get the point.

Even though it's going to be busy as hell, I am still looking forward to getting to Japan, and starting the next chapter in life. See you all in about 26 days.. Have a fine Navy Day ◦
