Duty Station Revealed

Oh my goodness, the Navy works fast. On Friday I was told to prepare for either Hawaii or Italy, as both need oboe. Today I got my answer - Italy. For the international options Italy was my first choice, so I'm pretty happy. Sara, get over it and just plan an Italian vacation!

A helpful link: Allied Forces Band Naples

It's not simply a Navy band, but a NATO Alliance group that combines musicians from Greece, Turkey, Italy, England, and the US Army, Air Force, and Marines. Read about it's history here.

I'll play with the concert bands and the NATO Woodwind Quintet. Excited about that one, check out the different uniforms.

I didn't think I'd be placed there this soon, blessings can be in bundles sometimes! Please remember nothing is certain, I have to clear the international screenings and prove myself worthy on oboe, but you know I'll do my best.

Stay tuned for more updates, and pray for a clear mind and good playing on my incoming audition this Thursday. Ciao!

'Oh my goodness' is right! Wow, Jenny, Italy! That was quick. I didn't realize that you'd be in the NATO band, that's awesome! I'll definitely be praying for you and your audition this Thursday. You really have an exciting future ahead of you!
