Little Merlin is quite a handful.

12. My second assignment was 2 years at Yokota Air Base...

...where I was the only peds nurse practitioner in the small pediatric clinic, with 2 pediatricians. Quite a change from Wilford Hall in San Antonio, where we had 5 nurse practitioners and a full residency program and all the peds sub-specialists.

I loved being in Japan. I grew up in western upstate NY. Texas felt like another planet to me, more foreign than Japan.

I met my husband in Japan. AF pilot. He was my next door neighbor in the BOQ.

I adopted a kitten while in Japan, and brought him back to the States with me - no way I could have left him there. I had him for 20 years.

Quite a number of veterans here on DU.
