OLMSTED SERIES | OVERSEAS MEDICAL SCREENING

O-V-E-R-S-E-A-S   M-E-D-I-C-A-L   S-C-R-E-E-N-I-N-G

is a pain in the ass. Well to me it is, I’m sure others may have had a much smoother process, but we’ve been getting a bit of a runaround. Before I jump into sharing some of my tips for your overseas move, I’m just going to share the hell of a week we’ve had in trying to get our medical signed off. Let me just tell you, we have yet to get anything signed off and we started on Monday.

On Monday, we both had appointments scheduled with our PCM (primary care manager) at the air force base nearby. Since A is here for language school, we’re not exactly attached anywhere. Therefore, I have a doctor in the air force. Before going into our appointment, I probably should have made a point to do some research on what paperwork I might need. We went into our appointment with nothing in hand. As soon as A was called in, he came back out like 15 minutes later and that didn’t seem right to me. [Read more…]

MILITARY LIFE | DEPLOYMENT ONE + TWO

Taken by Alyson

During our time on Oahu, we have gone through 2 deployments and, to me, they were completely different. I’ve, we, essentially learned so much from each one and have taken several things from our deployments. I’ve decided to put a little list together of what stuck with me during each deployment.

MILITARY LIFE | A HOMECOMING STORY

MILITARY LIFE | A HOMECOMING STORY

First and foremost, thank you to everyone that reached out to me about A’s return from deployment, it really meant so much to me! I had all these plans of how I wanted to document that day, as most of you saw, Snapchat was my outlet for capturing moments of that day. I didn’t exactly get the point of when we actually reunited for the first time, but I have pictures, and to be honest, who really cares about all of that stuff. My husband is home and I couldn’t be happier! [Read more…]

Apparently I’m more focused on things I should be feeling instead of not feeling. Sorry, that doesn’t make sense, but with everything that’s been going on in the past month and a half, I should be stressed. However I am not, so thank goodness for that.

MILITARY LIFE | MY HUSBAND WAS WITH ME ON MY RUN

I’m proud to say I’ve been running strong for the past month and it has been such an accomplishment. But last week turned out to be my crappiest week for running where I couldn’t achieve any of my goals. After one of my runs, which nearly turned out to be a fail, I had thoughts running through my mind and wanted to share in hopes it would inspire someone. [Read more…]
