Hey Jen,

It'll work out .. of course, Uncle Sugar doesn't want to bring family

members into certain areas unless they believe they can handle this and

that .. but its all necessary bureaucracy and I have never seen a legit

request for accompanied status turned down .. might have to go to some

extremes .. like IG and such .. but it all works itself out.

 

My ex was a Turkish lady and back in 1967 we were PCSing to the USA ..

her physical showed a scar on her lung so problems jumped up. Her BIL

and sister were medical doctors and had to get all kinds of

documentation translated on why it was there .. was a particular kind of

parasitic scar which was found in this part of the world way back

when .. and her sister had done a lot of work on treatment so we were

lucky in being able to cut the red tape a bit .. and .. she showed

positive on the TB test .. which was a norm because until the late 50s

Turkey was not into pasteurization of milk .. folks bought it from the

farms and almost all folks had been exposed. I had to extend 90 days in

country to get accompanied travel .. but it worked out .. and I am

confident that yours will too. :-)

 

>>Tis true .. I lived there twice .. El Paso. Im school my younguns had

>>to take Spanish classes and also classes on how to tawk with marbles in

>>your mouth.

>

> Oh, I believe you.

 

Good .. I like being believed when I tell tall tales .. and I like El

Paso too .. and Texas .. and might just retire around SW Texas or the

mountains of New Mexico .. they are on the list.

 

>>I will talk with the dude tomorrow about that .. not sure he knows what

>>it is. My son is an IBM systems engineer .. I wrote him an email

>>tonight and asked his opinion .. but no telling where he is now and it

>>might take a couple of days to get a reply .. he spends more time on

>>the road than in Atlanta and when out and about uses a different system

>>and I lost the danged address.

Thankee ma'am .. will do.

 

> Now your son sounds like he has a nice job, driving all over our

> beautiful south.

 

Yep .. but its more all over the USA and outside the USA. When he took

the job they gave him a lap top and told him to say bye-bye to his wife.

He spend the days following New Year in Canada but then went to Hawaii

and is scheduled to go to San Juan pretty soon.

 

> I'll be sending you a nice virtual batch of shrimp and grits tonight.

> Sound good?

> JenB

 

Thankee ma'am .. sounds larp'in gud it does. :-) I think there oughta

be a law that they teach " grits appreciation " in schools .. and how to

cook'em too .. danged watery grits or grits whut you can make a ball out

of is justification for divorce down home. :-(

 

I have taught lotsa Turks about grits and gravy .. so why shouldn't

American Yankees wanna learn such things? ;-) Butch
