Intel

So, a lot of people have been asking me what exactly I'm doing with the military, and why we are moving to Texas for 5 months. I just figured I would make a post to explain it. Sorry its not political.

So, basically I have been an enlisted mechanic for the last four years for the guard. A couple weeks ago I made a career change to Military Intelligence. It is still one weekend a month, two weeks a year, and it is not an officer's position. It is still enlisted. Along with every other career field in the military, training is required before you can actually work in the job. So, that is why we are moving to Texas.

When a lot of people hear military intelligence they think I have a hush, hush, Jason Bourne like job, and that I am probably going to be hunted down torched and killed. That is definitely not the case. I fly a desk for my new job. We do constantly work with international issues which has become somewhat of a passion of mine over the last few years. So, although I am in a desk I am very excited for this job..

So that's the 411. We're really excited. Not so much for San Angelo, but we're both really excited for the new job.

Sounds like a cover-up...I'm still suspicious of "Jason Bourne"-esk activity here...
San Angelo is in the middle of a lot of fun places and at least you're there over the "winter". I love San Antonio and Dallas looks cool from what I've seen driving through there to visit Hollie's family. Plus, time will fly by! I can relate with preparing to move across the country in 1 week and then driving forever in a Uhaul. Good luck on the new job and training!

If you guys come by way of Carlsbad, you are welcome to stay with us if you need a place to crash! We'd love to have you. From the looks of it you won't be too far from us.

Isn't it crazy how your life can change within one week. Jason Bourne ain't got nothing on you Aaron (except millions of dollars) haha! Best of luck and hope little Everest is good on the drive.
