At the moment I am trying to see if I can get command sponsorship so that I can take my family with me. But until then I am trying to plan everything out as if I were going alone.

Whether you bring your family or not, enjoy your time there. It’s an experience you won’t forget. The big thing is to know and observe curfew. I can’t emphasize how important that is. Way too many people get hemmed up over that. They do not play with it and it could impact your time there.

Well, I always say, expect the worst, hope for the best. Do you have a good and solid plan for your daughters if they cannot go with you? Have you contacted legal about the types of authority you would need to give to their guardians? When are you supposed to report?

Sorry, I had to edit my post it was supposed to say, my family. So yes if my family is not able to go then my daughters will be staying back with my husband who is a civilian. I am hoping to be able to take them, but if not I want to prepare myself and take whatever it is that I need to take.

I never make assumptions.... In regards to types of authority you would need to give to guardians, it still applies, even for a spouse. Especially a civilian spouse. Make sure you to go legal! Also, get a hold of USAA and AUSA. They both have awesome checklists getting you ready for a PCS.

I am the service member, my husband is a civilian, I get the same sideways glance you probably thought I was giving to you. It's all good. You got this. Keep your head up and don't ever play that gender card unless it is truly warranted, ok?

If a head start program is available, take it to get some very basic language skills and information on history culture and customs. Try to learn the language, be respectful to the locals. Stay sober in the ville, get drunk on base if you must. Take a Tae Kwon Do, or Hopkido class. Explore the country.
