Topic: Any New Jersey WLS patients around here??
I am 5 days post-op and just looking around the website. Thought I would put out a post to see if there are any military dependents/retirees out here in the Jersey area that can share guidance, insight or just silly chats.
Hubby is in the US Navy and stationed at Fort Dix Army Base. I work at McGuire AFB in healthcare admin and would love to find those with similar interests.
Topic: Independence Day
I just wanted to take a minute and say a huge thank you to all the men and women who put their lives on the line every day to ensure we can continue to celebrate Independence.
THANK YOU ALL!
Have a happy and safe 4th of July.

Bonnie, as the wife of a retired military man I understand where you are coming from..Anytime I hear anything negative towards our military men and women I am so saddened and angered..It is always the few who hurt the many and has been this way for years..You did fine with your post. You were out to protect and you felt Starbuck had caused a wrong..Thankfully they didn't but..Keep up the good work and God Bless our SOLDIERS..
Topic: RE: Anyone in KOREA
Tava,
Although I'm not in Korea, I thought I'd wish you the best there. My husband just got back from a one-year remote in Jan 05. I went to visit him 3 times (from where we're stationed it was just over an 8 hour flight - not too bad or too expensive). Best of luck finding someone. Where in Korea will you be going?

Tava,
This is the slowest board ever....you may want to post something on the main board. Try posting "Anyone in Korea?" that should get their attention. Good Luck
Topic: Anyone in KOREA
I'll be moving to Korea soon to be with my husband. I'll be about 4 months out when we go. Was hoping to meet someone else in Seoul that had this surgery too! Let me know if you are out there!
Thanks!
Tava

Topic: RE: Help! PCS Over Seas
Susie,
Congrats on orders to the Azores (my husband got stranded there for a week one time coming back from the desert). He says the only flat spot is the runway.
As for medical clearance, we've been through it twice (both times for coming to Alaska). It depends on the medical services they have available at Lajes. We had neighbors that got denied medical clearance for Lajes because their son had asthma.
Although I'm not active duty (my husband is), I am an Air Force civilian. We've had a couple of people get denied for coming to Alaska (mainly for asthma) while others that have dependents with asthma get approved. I think it depends on how thorough the medical interview.
I worked with one guy who's wife had rheumatoid arthritis. After getting up here, it flared up. With no rheumatologists in the area, they sent them back to the Lower 48.
I'd start looking at the Lajes website and see what medical services they offer.
Good luck and be sure to let us know how it goes.
Maria

Well go ahead and smile!!! you shouldn't have anything to worry about. A fellow soldier of my husbands just had GB and she goes to Iraq later this year. I have talked to a few people coming and going and no one seems to have had any problems...
Good luck!!!
Good luck!!! Most Active
