I love white zinfandel wine in a box! Best ever when playing the game!

I grew up in a military family and we moved/relocated every year or two. I've never been to Europe (which is a sad thing for me) but we did get stationed to Midway Island before it became a wildlife sanctuary. I've also lived on Guam, twice. Once in 62 and again in 70 to 72. Oh, and the only thing I ever won in a raffle was a tarantula!
Navy, and my dad retired when I was 15. We lived in upstate NY at the time, tiny town of Perry. I was 5 when we were stationed to Midway and remember the goony birds very well. We used to watch their awkward landings and laugh our butts off. Graceful, they aren't. That's also where I experienced fried sea turtle, which kind of nauseates me now because I adore the lovely creatures. Midway is home to many unique birds, including Fairy Terns. The tern chicks would sit on our cinder block fence/wall and let us feed them minnows until they were full. There were no automobiles on Midway due to it's size, and we rode bikes everywhere. It was wonderful.This kind of fried my brain. My dad was sent to Midway for six weeks twice in the early eighties (once over Christmas), but nobody actually lived there then except for the goony birds. So, Air Force or Navy?
I have 7 siblings: We live in Alaska, Florida, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut. We all love to play board games....Settlers of Catan, Ticket to Ride...as well as card games such as Canasta, Pinochle and Phase 10. We all play musical instruments...Harp, Piano, Violin, Flute, Trumpet and Guitar. I have 2 nieces and a nephew...they're all under 2 years old. But I am thousands of miles away so I sadly don't see them often.
I live in a remote village in Alaska that is only accessible by flight...no roads! My grocery shopping has suddenly become more planned and foresighted. I haven't had a fresh salad since the summer...<<sigh>>...but, moose is delicious.
That does sound awesome. I always wanted to travel around and live in different places, but Dad's job was actually limited to very few bases. I was always glad that we never moved to Florida. My unreasoning fear is of spiders and other creepy crawlies. I never want to live anywhere where I can measure the bugs' sizes by the words 'as big as my hand'. LOL.
My dad was military as well (Canadian Military) and like yours we only traveled to a few bases because of his specialization. I am deathly afraid of spiders and one of the locations they sent us was Bermuda.....an island with VERY large spiders! And they left us there with these abominations for two years! We also lived in the arctic which was very cold, but significantly fewer bugs and the ones that did survive were not as big as your hand at least!
