Why do you think that the military has sequestered the Soldiers?

I doubt anyone will touch this.

I see now that there was more than one way to interpret my question.

The things is that the military has not sequestered any Soldiers. Soldiers are everywhere.

A great many of the Soldiers are in deployed right now, but no Soldier is being prevented from leaving post.

To Spanish speakers, yes.

I left El Paso with my ex husband, and moved to Huntsville Alabama cause I was told we would make a better living. Well, in some ways we did! The job market was much better, especially the pay! Also the cost of living is better. My only regrets of leaving El Paso is leaving dear family and friends behind, who I have lost contact with, and miss so dearly. :-( The other thing I want to say, Alabama is so backwards in many things, but the people here are so loving and friendly, they accept you as you are. Men love thick women down here in Alabama! :-) I'm a size 12, and that's looked at as fine down here, where as in El Paso, it's considered fat! :-) One other thing, El Paso's school system is hands down better than Any schools here in Alabama! Koutos to Texas. So a finale answer to your question is yes, and no. My current husband and I may be moving back to Texas, it may not be El Paso though.

Awww, I'm rom STL and live in El Paso, I miss St. Louis so much!!! I miss going to baseball games, and booing the Rams (lol), I miss the St. Louis Zoo and Forest Park and the Loop and Galleria....so many things to do back in ST. Louis. El Paso is nice but it can be boring at times....

Where did you graduate from? 'Doesn't appear schools in El Paso were that great after all.

And 'current husband'? Do you plan on another?

I left El Paso in 2006 to go live in Tucson, now Im in Hawaii. First I was happy to leave my "Chuco Town" but, I miss my people, all the parties, get togethers. I think the only thing I truly miss from El Paso Texas is "the people." Real Estate there is very affordable too. More than in many other places in the U.S. I don't think I will live there again, unless I truly had to go back.
