Heading to Ft. Hood

[german_jeep_2003]

The day has come,

We got our orders to Ft. Hood Tx. We are both excited and nervous. It will be the first time my wife and I have lived in the states in 11 years.

She has never been there except for vacation! Should be interesting.
The US Army has given me a report date of 5 December.

Not sure how long until I am hunting but!!!! Hope not long!

Any info that you might have on the hood area would be great! Anything at all. Thanks in advance.

AJ, welcome to Texas! I am just about an hour away. Our flyfishing club sponsers a fly tying workshop for the wounded soldiers.

Is your wife's family all from Germany? That's probably tough on her leaving them all to come live in the states, if so. I wish you all the best. Welcome home and good luck on your hunting.

Her family is all living here! But when we got married she knew this was going to happen, just did not have a date! She is very German, but as grown on the idea of being a Texas girl. My family lives in Granbury Texas about 2 hours north and she already has a job lined up! Things are going smooth for now, I know there will be bumps in the road! But, with deployments and other military stuff, a move over the pond will be easy! We have not lived near her family for about 6 years. And it is about a 7 hour drive to them from us, so a 9 hour flight is nothing!!!!

Hunting might be on the back burner for now, got to get settled in. But we will see!

Thanks for all your nice thoughts.

Step father said we could head up toward Stevenville for some upland hunting. Won't know when until we get the move taken care of. The Army is not speeding anything along (NORMAL).
