I'm writing this in March, but if what I think is going to happen happens, I'm going to be very busy, very quickly.That's confusing, so let me start where I left off.After I finished gallavantin' around NZ, Oz and the Cook Islands, I got back here to PA in early Dec. I hung around for the holidays . . . and Jan . . .and Feb . . . and now it's Mar . . . Back in Jan, I contacted a company called Kwajalein Range Services. A branch called Chugach (beats me, maybe I'll find out why later) handles all the logistics at the Reagan Test Site on Kwajalein Island in the Marshall Islands which are about 2100 miles southwest of Hawaii. In this case, logistics includes maintenance and operation of the facilities.I sent in all the forms, dotted all the t's and crossed my eyes, even passed the background check. Provided I pass the physical I took, I expect to be headed to 'Kwaj' in early Apr. I'll be a little busy packing my TV and microwave, snorkel, golf clubs, Hawaiian shirts, shorts - you get the picture.The job will be maintenance, repair and some small construction projects like Antarctica, except this one is less than 700 mi. north of the equator. At least that's what I've been told. Same kind of work, nowhere near the same kind of place. It's a two year obligation, but not without opportunities for vacations, even paid vacations with paid flights back here to the States. This place even has US mail service - year-round! And TV. It's the Armed Forces Network, but I ought to see a few football games live.Wish me luck and I'll post more after I get there.
