Oh I know good sir, I’m already planning out trips to vegas to come visit you and desmond on my long weekends 
Going to be working with the Department of Homeland Security protecting our nation’s southern borders. I spend the first 5 months in New Mexico for “basic training” then I go back to spend my time in Tucson (which is more of a supervisor training center from what the journeyman stationed there tell me since the station I will be at is actually somewhat distant from the border).
It’s definitely hard to uproot in such a short time, but I think most people knew I was planning for this. I sold my house 2 months ago with a good feeling I would get the job, but I definitely did not expect to get sent so soon.
It sucks to leave, but there are just way too many reasons to take this job. I am going in at the highest pay differential for a new hire due to my education and work experience, which is a huge plus.
I was hoping for San Diego b/c I have family there, but to no avail at this time…once I hit journeyman status (1.5-2 years), I can transfer anywhere in the country I like, so in theory I could be back here before too long.
No worries, I already found amateur hockey leagues within a 10 minute drive of my station, and the coyotes/d-backs are only a short 1.5 hour drive further west…
