Many apologies to all for the two-week delay in our "Hicks in Japan" blog. One of the crazy, unforseen obstacles to blogging from overseas is that all of the edit functions come up in the local laguage -- Japanese in this case! After only 2 weeks of attempting to get into the edit page, Charlotte managed to find the edit function by clicking on some random kanji, ...and "voila!"- we're up & running again.
We did make it to Japan on the 28th of January and are currently living large in the Navy lodge while we await housing assignment. Since we lived "on the economy" in Germany - 6 hours from the nearest US base - it's safe to say that we have had enough of the foreign experience and are really hoping to live on the base. Prospects, however, are looking pretty slim and it appears that Charlotte, Reese & I may be experiencing frozen shampoo sometime in the near future. (Most Japanese houses are not insulated, but that's another topic I'll discuss at a future date, if need be).
As of right now, we DO have our own "Gomi-mobile" - a very nice Honda CRV - so we are officially mobile and are mostly checked into the base. I've finished all of my initial introductory flights in the squadron and will be leaving for a few weeks of sea-time with the VIP helo detachment next week.
Thanks to all of you for your patience. The next 'hicksinjapan' blog is soon to follow!
Hick Family -- out
