We Got Our List!

Last Friday we got our list of choices of where we want to live! We have been waiting for this list for TOO long and were super excited. So we spent the weekend putting it in the order that we feel would be best for our family as well as Greg's career. We decided that we wanted to go with cutters (boats) first for a couple reasons. We want to get the boat life over with (of course), but it is best for Greg's career to get in that sea time. We also feel it is best for our family because we would rather do it while the kids are young.

So here it is....
(17 Choices, for 17 People in the Class)

CGC - Coast Guard Cutter
Sector - Sector
CG Commsta - Coast Guard Communication Station

1. CGC Sherman - San Diego, CA
2. CGC Sherman - San Diego, CA
3. CGC Gallatin - Charleston, SC
4. CGC Jarvis - Honolulu, HI
5. CGC Thetis - Key West, FL
6. Sector St. Pete - St. Petersburg, FL
7. Sector Miami - Miami, FL
8. Sector Long Island - Long Island, NY
9. Sector Houston/Galveston - Galveston, NY
10. Sector Key West - Key West, FL
11. Sector Buffalo - Buffalo, NY
12. Sector Jacksonville - Jacksonville, FL
13. Sector Juneau - Juneau, AK
14. CG Commsta Kodiak - Kodiak, AK
15. CG Commsta Kodiak - Kodiak, AK
16. Sector N. Carolina - Wilmington, NC
17. CGC Stratton - Alameda, CA

#6 was removed because one person left due to medical reasons and they had to remove 1 place off the list.
#16 is most likely given to a student who's husband (in the Marines) lives in NC.
#17: you are probably wondering why we don't want Alameda considering it is so close to home. Well, the CGC Stratton is a National Security Cutter which goes out 210+ days out of the year...ya enough said. ;)

We are hoping to find out by Friday where we will be living! Can't wait!!
