Sorry, haven't been on for awile....my grandma had a bad fall and is in the hospital. Your husband was in the Air Force, right? What was his job in the Air Force? Ft. McPhearson, GA is being closed and its operations moved up to Ft. Bragg(FORSCOM is taking over what was Pope Air Force Base next to Ft. Bragg). All this BRAC(base realignment) stuff is supposed to bringing lots of oppertunities to Fayetteville. With your husband's HR background and a military background he might want to look into military contractors around Ft. Bragg. I'll have to get some websites from my hubby(he's in logistics with a federal contractor).
