Small World - First Military Move

What a small world!

DD is off on vacation prior to reporting to Active Duty Army next week so I get to meet the movers for the HHG move.

The crew that came to crate a table prior to the movers arriving includes a Virginia Tech Army ROTC cadet.

Yep, it is a small world...look at the Fencer and Pima thread of life after the academy.

The funniest small world is fencers DS was never a member on here, but his GF (now wife ) was, she told us this story over dinner at UPT winging.

She was on this forum for a while, and then she started to date this guy. All of the sudden she starts putting two + two together. How many twins could there be in the class of 2012 that fenced and were from Steeler Nation?

We were all laughing so hard we were crying when she said all of the sudden I had to think did I ever post anything that ticked her off? Imagine talking, albeit on an open forum for a year or so before you ever meet your future DH.

Wait until he gets a few tours under his belt and the world becomes even smaller. You basically can play the game of 6 degrees from cadet AROTC parent with anyone in your specialty.

Off topic, it also changes from this is a small world to...did you hear who got married, promoted, and finally to retired. The small world disappears because you are accustomed to living in a small world.

Can you imagine talking for a year or more on an open forum...to the person who will become your mother-in-law?

That is cool

Actually, it turned out we never "argued" here, nor in real life, so all is good.

*Mostly because I have taken to practicing PIMA's Sage Advice for Mothers-in-law: shut up and color.
