After the merger of Water Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) and the National Naval Medical Center (NNMC) to form the new Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC), Jimmy was given a new position at the hospital. He was formerly the Chief of Specimen Processing/Client Services for both sites. Now he's the Chief of Quality Assurance for the laboratory at the new hospital.
In his old position, he was in charge of just one section in the lab. Now he's in charge of QA for the entire lab, which includes more than 350 employees and 10 different laboratories. He's the most junior person they've ever given this position to, so that says a lot about how much confidence they have in him and his abilities. I'm super proud!
Jimmy also received verbal orders to report to Fort Campbell, Kentucky next year. Although nothing is set in stone, we are anxiously preparing for another big move. We should have solid, written orders sometime in January, but from the information we've received so far, it looks like we are potentially moving in the late Spring or early Summer of 2012.
We are definitely excited to move, but so sad to leave this area, everything it has to offer, and most of all leaving our friends. I'll definitely keep you all updated!

That's awesome Jimmy! QA work is no joking matter. You must have your s@!t together.
You are better people than me to be excited to move to Kentucky. Me, I would be pissed off. Hope you guys like college basketball!
The base actually straddles the Kentucky/Tennessee border. We will be living in Clarksville, TN which is 20 mins from Nashville. Trust me, there were much worse places on the list. We flirted with Thailand, but decided against it because we would have two young kids.
