Katie and Brent received their official compensation packages, and it is a bit overwhelming. Life insurance, new health/dental insurance, the TSP, beneficiaries, and the moves (yes, that’s with an ‘s’). We qualify for a local move because we live more than fifty miles outside DC (51.3 miles to be exact). So, we’ll probably move to northern Virginia, home of the constant traffic nightmare, for A100 and other training. Then, we’ll move to whatever post(s) they send us to. The entire process should take anywhere from two months to a year. However, we might be stationed in DC for up to two years. All this, and two pay raises. Being a public servant isn’t all bad.
