| Sorry so long......... |
Hi all. Sorry it has been so long since I have posted :) I have been busy! My job at the School Age Program is going great. It's still a learning process for me and I have a ways to go but still I have fun with it. Josh and I are having so many delimas lately. First of all is when we can go home to visit. I know we said end of Feb. but it doesn't look like thats going to happen :( Josh is having surgery done on his foot on the 23rd and has 2 weeks that he has to recover, plus probably physical therapy. Also the jet gets back on Feb 15, for those of you who don''t know the jet is is Josh's actual job. The jet will be here for 1 month and I think I recall that Josh can't leave as long as he might have flights on the jet. So that puts us at March 15. Here on Kadena AFB there are 3 School Age Programs, managment is going to be joining 2 of the School Programs into one! Which is agervating cause I just learned everything at Himawari and now they have to switch everything around! The grand opening of the new joined Shima No Ko and Himawari should be around March 17 to the end of March and to be perfectly honest I want to be there to know how things are going to work now that they have to change it. Ok so what about April...well Josh still doesnt know how long his physical therapy will last plus he will be going on a 2 month deployment sometime between June and September. ARRGGG, nothing seems to be absolute in the military, it's all a toss of the coin....the militarys coin that is so no matter what side it lands on we always seem to get shanked :( During the summer the School Program goes from a before and after school program to full daycare. So that means they need people more than ever during the summer. And you you guessed most people want to take vacation during the summer, hell we do!!! I know of at least 2 others I wok with that are taking off April and June. So in short.....Maybe May? Or July? I can put in a request for time off but like Josh if they can't find any one to work for me than.....can't go :( Only 2 more yrs of this crap and we can see family on our terms, not anyone elses. Not to mention money is tight right now. It's going to be about 1000$ a person to go home. I also want to start college classes soon which is about 500$ or more a class here pus Josh and I both are trying to save for when Josh get out of the military so we arn't screwed for money. UHHH! Anywho thanks all for being patient and reading my blabbing. I love you all and one day it will be easier!! God Bless

If you talk to the education office you will find that you will qualify for STAP which pays for half of each class you take because you don't already have a degree so only about $250 comes out of pocket. If you choose student loans can cover the rest and interest rates on Student Loans are very cheap.
It does however take a LONG time to apply for all of that stuff so make sure if you want to take advantage of it, you start now.

My review
I'm really humbled by this book. Her journey during the war is truly and inspiration to life. I now look around while I'm driving or walking on Okinawa and think to myself of the struggles that so many Okinawan refugees went through, including the author as a 7 year old child! Defiantly an inspirational read!
