    Well, might have to do an In Place Consectutive Overseas Tour (IPCOT) here, that would give me 8 years here. I can always extend a few years too. It all depends on what I want to do. Either way, I can find ways of keeping the fish. I could set-up some tanks at my new location and find an exporter to ship them to.....hmmmm, maybe Kenny LOL and then pick them up. Things I will think about in 4 or 5 years.

    The water bill, it's only covered if you live on the base. Utilities are paid out of pocket but we do get money for utilities. Is it enough? NO WAY. Plus the exchange rate for the yen is AWFUL!!!

    Thanks Scott and Av

    Happy Birthday Ed!!

    Those are definitely a great gift!! Hope you enjoy them. Yea the yen will continue to get stronger as our dollar falls like a lead balloon Thank goodness for the COLA rate to offset things a bit. Enjoy Japan while your there Very nice place. We stopped through there in 89 on my way to Korea. Seems like yesterday.....

    All The Best

    No worries Kenny,

    It wasn't anything I was expecting so it's just fortunate for me. Patience is a virtue.

    That's great about you niece's birthday! Her and I are the same sign. I'm sure it will be a wonderful party. Have fun and take care.

    Thanks again for being the middle man for the whole transaction. The fish are AMAZING. They eat like crazy and have a totally different personality than any discus I ever owned.

    Excellent! That's a long time to be away from home though. I wish you luck and thanks for what you do! Too bad the water isn't free! I'd move to Japan too! LOL!
