[Boatanchors] Our life choices

[rbethman]

Heck,

I had a choice of simply taking my next, (read retirement), duty station.

Uncle Sam chose, (I'm trying to remember which of the two it was - 26 
yrs back!), either Ft. Sill, OK, or Ft. Bliss, TX.

I had tutored a WO-4 from personnel through a college class, at the 
instructor's "behest".

The WO-4  looked at my orders and asked if there was a different place 
I'd rather go.

So I chose the Washington, D.C. Metro area.  The reason being simple.  I 
*KNEW* I could find work with my education and background, in this 
geographic area.

Another factor is simply that the wife, myself, and the kids prefer cool 
and cold over heat.

I can ALWAYS put another log on the fire, put on a heavy Turkish Robe, 
or bump the thermostat!

When it gets too hot, (What did it get up to in Ca this year for a day 
or so?), you can only take off so much before they arrest you!

I'll shovel the %$&#* SNOW!
