Andy was recently notified that he was selected to attend an in-residence professional military school. He'll be attending the Army's Command and General Staff College for a year starting in July '09. The school is located at Ft. Leavenworth in Kansas so we'll all move there in June '09.
Andy was initially hoping to go to the Navy school in Rhode Island and we were excited about the possibility of being on the East coast. However, the Navy cut the number of slots available to the Air Force, so instead, Andy received his second choice, the Army school. This is still an amazing accomplishment seeing that only about 10% of Air Force officers are selected to attend an in-residence school in the first place. Of that 10%, only 5% are selected to a joint school, like the Army school.
We were "Kansans" at our last assignment in Wichita and have some great friends still there. Ft. Leavenworth is located about 30 minutes from Kansas City in a beautiful hilly part of the state. It may only be for a year but we still look forward to seeing old friends in Wichita and exploring Kansas City. As always, you are welcome to visit us wherever the military decides to take us!
