It is really amazing how small the military world (especially the Navy JAG world) is. This past week a bunch of JAGs from all the "west coast" bases had a training in San Diego. Since Guam is lumped into that category, one of Drew's colleagues and our good friend Jen came out to San Diego for the week. I was lucky enough to be able to see her on Thursday evening at a BBQ at one of the SD JAG's houses. It was really nice for me to be around a lot of junior officers and their spouses/significant others. In Guam there really weren't a lot of other junior officers that we got to hang out with so it was nice to see how different it is at a big base. We are all going through such similar things and have so much in common, so it was really nice to meet a lot of new people and just chat them up.
And most of all, it was so very wonderful to see Jen and it kind of made it feel like we never left Guam. I'm so happy that it worked out for us to see each other & just hang out together. I'm very glad to know that we will often run into our friends from all over! We miss you, Buyske!
