In Need of Repatriation Advice?

Posted by Cliff on from the turning-japanese-and-back-again dept.

kir asks: "I've been living in Japan for the last 10 years -- 6 in the USAF, 4 in 'freedom'. My wife and I recently decided to move to the U.S. (back for me, not for her). I am wondering what advice the vocal Slashdot minority might give me. I'm most interested in tips on finding a job from here and gauging a proposed salary based on a location of which I know nothing. I'd also find helpful tips on preparing for culture shock (both my mild case and my wife's possibly severe one). Thanks!"

    Once in a while you will need to put the US wedding date down on legal forms, but otherwise you can count the original wedding as your anniversary.

    That sounds like a "lose, lose" proposition - not one, but two dates to forget!
