I suppose it is best to start with introductions: my name is Jeff Starnes and I am a newly commissioned 1st Lt in the United States Air Force JAG Corps. I have been assigned to RAF Lakenheath and in December, my wife and I will move to the United Kingdom for the next 3 years!
My wife's name is Heather. She is also an attorney (but has not joined the Air Force). We met the first day of law school and were married on May 30 of this year. We are very excited about the opportunity to live overseas and, I think it's fair to say, a little nervous about moving halfway around the world.
In less than one week, I will take the first step towards beginning my new career as an Air Force officer. I will be leaving my wife and must report to Maxwell AFB in Montgomery, Alabama for 5 weeks of Commissioned Officer Training.
We decided to set up this blog to document our experiences and to give our friends and family a way to keep up with us and share in our adventure. Neither one of us has had much experience with journals or blogging, so we hope this process, and perhaps a little encouragement here and there, will keep us keep a record of our journey.

ReplyDeleteOur kids (and grandson) have been in Singapore for te last year and half. Our daughter-in-law has blogged about their journey and it has truly been a blessing to us all. This is a great way to stay in touch and we look forward to being there with you.
