My son is Air Force (I'm an Air Force veteran too). He married a local gal (both my sons have a thing for oriental women and the Japanese culture).

After the birth, though, he'll have only a month at home before he gets shipped off to the desert in support of the WOT. He'll be gone for 4-5 months and she'll be staying with her family while he's gone.

When he comes back he'll be almost ready to be restationed back stateside but they are chosing instead to go to Europe or England, not sure exactly where yet. They don't want to come back here stateside, mainly to stay away from family. His mom, my ex-wife, is certifiably crazy and her siblings are no better. This way he continues to live his own life and not have family get in the way and cause him trouble. Pretty sad but I support him.

My brother was in the Air Force for 22 years; he retired three years ago, I think. He spent 17 years out of 22 in Europe - Germany, Italy, and England. England was his last post, and he’s married to an English woman. Nice girl, nearer my daughter’s age than mine :-), with a cute accent. He’s working for a DoD contractor now, and they live in western Pennsylvania.

He thought life in England was very comfortable, and would not have come back except that my mother insisted that he had to while my dad is still well enough to appreciate seeing him. He goes down to Florida every couple of months for a few days.
