A lot has been going on lately, and its kinda crazy.
Chris is working on getting a demo tape together that he can send to Robins Air Force base in Georgia. Yes, a demo tape to the military. There is an opening in the regional band for a tenor/ baritone and they want a tape by March 31. It is actually really exciting. He would be singing for the military and that would be an awesome job. The money is good and the job security is excellent. If they like the tape they will have him come down to GA for a real audition. If they like him there, hes in!
what does this all mean?
he will be gone for at most 100 days out of the year, and that is not all at once, it is spread out over the whole year and every 18-20 months we will be gone for up to 60 days over seas. BUT that is only if his unit is called, so he may not necessarily be called.
We will have to move. Exciting and scary at the same time. He will have 8 days after BMT to find a house, whether that is a rental or we buy. I would love to buy because the houses are CHEAP (at least compared to what I am used to)! I just don't know how we will find a place so fast. I guess I would have to be looking around while he is away or we would have to buy before he goes.
I will be living in Georgia... 200 miles from the ocean.... does not make me happy! but it will be warm all the time!
this is all so overwhelming... I really hope this all works out though! I think it will be a lot of fun!

oh my gosh I HOPE HE GETS IT!!!!!!
You'll be close to Alabama, which is where I am! That is so awesome. Good luck to him. And yes, cost of living down south [in most places] is considerably cheaper than up north. Good luck again!
Who knew the military hired baritones?
i hope he gets it too. It will definitely be an interesting change of pace. Yes, app branches of the military have bands and some of them are popular music groups, some are jazz groups and some are classical. I think he will be singing popular music, not his forte, but when there s an opportunity, you jump for it.
