Cinco De Mayo Wedding and Straight to Boot Camp

My Hubby & I talked for the last time 2 nights ago as he was on the bus ride to his Basic Training station... I don't know exactly what he's doing or where he is right now, but I know he's somewhere in Fort Jackson, South Carolina at a... what did he call it? Reception Battalion? I'm not sure... I don't think he can call me anymore, otherwise he would have already.  His official boot camp training doesn't start 'til Friday, but I'm guessing once a soldier gets to the station, as his or her paperwork is being processed, ALL OF ONE'S BELONGS ARE TAKEN AWAY IN A VIOLENT YANKING MOTION?!?!? does anyone know? feel free to straighten me out. hehe ;)

With that said... I've been very studiously learning my ACRONYMS!! So far I've got down these: PCS, NCO, ACU, a few of the ranks like PFC & SGT... PX that's an easy one because I came across it a lot when reading about living on base.  DEERS! that's the program to which Hubby needs to add me... a some other ones I don't want to recall off the top of my head.  Anyways, YAY FOR ME! 'been doing my military homework!

I found a ton of helpful sites where I gazed upon the activity of the many Army wife "support groups" (blog rings actually) and the fellowships that were formed.  Oh how I want to be apart of such things... but I feel so... different.  Out of my element.  I would really like to fine somewhere to fit in.  It's a bit difficult because, to be truthful, I am not your typical Army wife & mother: caucasian, mid-twenties and older, living on base, & enrolled in all of those programs at the ACS.  I seem to be out of range if you know what I mean: I'm going to college, I live off-base, I'm 20 (not even legal drinking age yet in California), I'm Asian (Vietnamese to be exact... I just haven't been finding any Asian military wives online & blogging) [side note: Asians fall in the "Others" group which makes up 6% of the Army enlisted on duty... so I'm not expecting to see very many Asian spouses]. 

I wish Baby & I could be living on base with Hubby right now... that would be I could enroll in all of those helpful programs at ACS  and such.  

When I DO finally move on base I feel very out of place.  I'm just very used to my extremely Vietnamese surrounds here in Little Saigon, Southern California.  I am predicting a very Caucasian community on the base, and that will be a very dramatic change of dynamic and social group.  I read that I shouldn't get too attached when I move on base because I'll probably be moving soon again.  But I still love to form intimate sister-like friendships so I don't know how I will cope with uprooting so often.  I'll just have to wait and see...

I would like to close with letting everyone and anyone know that I am in search of a young group of military spouses who have children... do u feel my pain? (heh, this is me indulged in moping).  Anyone out there?
