Sheila said:Thanks everyone. We do put up with a LOT to follow our military members around the world. We live a very nomadic life ... always on the move. My 24 year old nephew just said goodbye to his wife & 1 month old to do a 1 year tour overseas. It's pretty rough sometimes to be so far away especially when it's for extended periods of time. We do hear the thank you's on occasion and we certainly appreciate them! But we also see the military funeral protests which can be very heartbreaking to know that a family is having to say goodbye forever while listening to the protesters voice their freedom of speech that the deceased fought so hard to ensure that the protesters have. Kind of ironic.

The President of the US has authorized this measure as a precautionary measure due to the current situation in Japan.
Air Force cargo passenger planes will be used to transport women and children first to a temporary destination, possibly Korea, for 1-2 days before transferring them to a final destination that is yet to be determined. Pacific Air Force planes will also be utilized, with a goal of evacuating 10,000 people per day through the three designated sites of Narita, Yokota, and Atsugi. Civilian airliners, such as United and American, may also be used to transport additional individuals.
It is advised to pack a suitcase with enough supplies for 3-5 days, including important documents like passports, and any necessary items such as diapers and baby food. Individuals should also plan to be away from Japan for a few days.
No, this is a precautionary measure and not an emergency evacuation. The goal is to ensure the safety of dependents living in Japan.
The evacuations are expected to start within the next 24 hours.
