(we lived on a base, not a post, because it was Air Force) My favorite part was that everyone stopped what they were doing at a certain time to salute the flag. but don't worry, I'm sure you'll get used to everything soon. :)Treasahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09653342505265797058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236284069827033511.post-91202229378953787202009-05-04T00:08:00.000-06:002009-05-04T00:08:00.000-06:00Wow, who knew?!

I'm just getting started. <br />Of course if I HAD to do it, I would, but it just doesn't sound like that much fun.<br />Jason grew up on military bases all his life. He never mentioned any of these little quirky things. Probably because he thought it was normal or he just got used to it.<br />Good luck! :o)Smullin Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133368709376316718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236284069827033511.post-8167096966102022812009-04-30T16:51:00.000-06:002009-04-30T16:51:00.000-06:00I,m laughing.

I should think the thrift store would have constant inflow of stuff with the way post people move in and out.<br /><br />What kind of grocery store does the commisary compare to? Like a Maverick or a mom& pop or????? Can you get a decent bag of Cheetos and other important necessities?Jana Lee Bumblebeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02997476917611921673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236284069827033511.post-4703430108917055322009-04-30T14:32:00.000-06:002009-04-30T14:32:00.000-06:00You are a brave woman!You are a brave woman!Tiffany Haleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11753599476636995042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236284069827033511.post-38135156326882296112009-04-30T14:19:00.000-06:002009-04-30T14:19:00.000-06:00That is so funny!

We acutally don't hear the sirens, or any of the music... but our "on post housing" is actually off post-down-the-street and in a different gated area. We do have the occasional announcements, muffled, and impossible to understand in english. But when the Italian translation is given, it's said loud and clear, but no one around here can understand Italian. The commissary closing early doesn't bother me as much as it being closed on Mondays, and that it doesn't open until 10. I can deal with the 7p.m. closing time... but the other stuff is crazy. Enjoy living so close to your husbands work though. I love having (my) Aaron come home for lunch and then be home right after work. Yay!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08390003791177427710noreply@blogger.com
