Hi ,
I am Luca.
My wife is an Officer in the US Navy and she is getting orders to Willow Grove Naval Air Station. We have 1 baby boy Jack, he is 2, and Julia will be born on January 6, 2009.
On the other end...I am an Italian Navy helicopter Pilot. Right now I am in Italy to complete my commitment. Here I am assigned to a ship.... where I am the Captain.
I was wondering if anyone have some information about jobs and life in the Willow Grove area.
Here is some more info about me and who I am and my job experiance. If you can help me I will really appreciate. You can see my web page at
Unità Navali.
Thank you.
Luca
