I have a neice who is a civilian employee at Bremerton AFB in Washington State (who also has a yorkie
) who is currently in
Djibouti for a year. (good $$) She is practically a newlywed and took this job for the $$. She left hubby AND yorkie at home!
She is on a base and facebooks photos of herself running with the soldiers (she is a very healthy excerciser type person) and posts pics of care packages from her mom & stuff. She has never had any safety issues (that we are aware of) and seems to be enjoying her time there. She got a 2 week leave a couple of months ago & looked great. I think that turning down a steady gig like that for a loser BF (sorry, that's how I read this) is a very bad idea. I would jump at the chance to go overseas and work like that, especially for a limited time period. You can handle ANYTHING if you know when it is gonna end! Just sayin'...
