Hi everyone!

I just came across this thread. My DH is in the army has been for 10 years last Jan and we have been together 9 of those years. He is in Artillery. We have been very lucky to have stayed in Sydney (I've never lived anywhere else) all that time. DH was in the one unit for 8 years and only got posted out cause he was non deployable and couldn't jump (he got leukaemia) so he went to Recruiting and spent 2 years there, got back up to med class one and now is at a reserve unit. Which he hates. He is about to take his long service leave so is going to stay home with DD when I go back to work. I also work for Defence. I manage the ADF Transition centre in the city. So I help ppl discharge (mostly work with Navy being in the city, close to Fleet base east). I have been on mat lve tho. I go back in 5 weeks.

We have been lucky that a lot of our friends have stayed here in Sydney to. Though my best friend's husband is core transferring so will prob move. I'm not looking forward to that!! We have 2 and a half years left of this posting and then who knows!!!! I don't think we will be able to stay in Syd any longer. There won't be any full time artillery unit left here by then either (well that's what they say) I'm hoping for Adelaide or Brisbane.
