I'll be teaching 3rd grade, and my husband will be teaching K-8
music, band, and choir. So in Okinawa you sent your children to
daycare off base? Our sponsor mentioned something about
possibly getting a nanny. I know that Humphreys has a brand new
CDC, I just can't seem to get ahold of anybody to put the kids
on the waiting list. It's a whirlwind trying to get everything
done to get over there. We are still waiting on our travel
orders. How long did you teach with DoDDS (or do you still)?
