Re: Ouch, only 1 year left!
Hey Eddie. Too bad about having to leave. I don't know what career field you're in, but you might want to see if there is an opening in the 497 CTS in Singapore. There's a permanent cadre there to bed down squadrons when they go TDY there. And you can take your car because they drive on the same side of the road as the Japanese. Best of luck to you on your search.

Hello Afghanistan! Wonder what the water is like for discus there? May have to get RO. :p Just messing with ya! Good luck, wherever you end up.
Re: Ouch, only 1 year left!
Oh yeah, some great fish in Europe for sure.

Hey Eddie, when you PCS do you think TMO will move your tanks?

I don't think they will, I know they will. Its a matter of weight, not dimensions. My max weight is around 10,000 pounds and I'm no where near that.

I guess for an OCONUS it's probably not worth paying out of pocket... it's probably not even worth it for CONUS. I was worried that they wouldn't move it and if they did, I would have to be paranoid about leaky aquariums for a while. I have a box of broken frames, mirrors, etc to back up my concerns. If they can't pack standard glass items...
Good to know though. I suppose the other downside is, by the time they get around to unpacking at your new place, it may not be quick enough for your fish...

Ah, it depends. I could always set-up a tank at my next location and have the fish shipped. I won't be doing that this time as shipping my fish from Japan would be pretty steep. Its cool though, I'm pretty accustomed to starting from scratch, although I have a few strains that I'd like to keep in the future.
The cool thing now is that the Air Force reimburses everything at new cost if its damaged so they could break all my tanks in the move and I'll get all new ones! WOOHOOO :)

Its not mean, its true! Its my disclosure statement so folks can't say my silence is deceiving. My silence means that the fish are awful. LOL I've commented on more than one of your fishes, easily.

You know, this reads COMPLETELY differently when you put the comma where it belongs instead of after the s**ks. And I've only had half a glass of wine.

Yeah, except who deals with it when the water is all over your floor? Good point though, I forgot about that... My wife was pretty upset with me when I forgot to file for all the stuff they broke, including a pretty expensive fishing pole.
If you're stuck CONUS what are your options?

CONUS, not sure, West Coast probably. Will try to get back to my home, in Cali. I'd probably get to Travis since I am qualified on C-5/C-17s. Plus one of the SQ Commanders at Travis is trying to get me out there if I go CONUS.
