> Good stuff man. Don’t be like everyone else and move back within a month. Give it a fair chance. You’re not a horrible drive from Vegas either!

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…
