This is what we're dealing with around here...

I realize that a MAVDD (Military Assisted Voluntary Departure of Dependents) is an unprecedented event. They have never done this before. And we are talking about evacuating tens of thousands of people. I understand that, but still. This is what we are dealing with. These are Facebook messages (which has been the most up to date information) posted this morning:

Naf Atsugi

ATTENTION - NAF Atsugi Category 1, with last names starting from A to M report to Cinema 77. Bring all your luggage, pets, children and report to Cinema 77..

about an hour ago
which was at 10:18 am

Then 15 minutes later, we see this.. 

110319 @ 10:37 - ATTENTION - THERE HAS BEEN A HALT IN THE PROCESS FOR THE VOLUNTRARY DEPARTURE OF DEPENDENTS FROM NAF ATSUGI. PLEASE DO NOT GO TO CINEMA 77. WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVIENE. THINGS ARE VERY FLUID RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE. THIS IS A VOLUNTARY MOVE. THE CATEGORIES ARE LISTED BELOW.

Military Assisted Voluntary Departure of Dependents Categories
#1 - Expectant mothers, families with infants to two years old and special needs
#2 - Families with children three to six years old
#3 - Families with children seven to 12 years old
#4 - Families with children 13 years old and above or no children
*** The only pets allowed for travel are dogs and cats ***

As you can see, I am in Category 4. I'm kinda glad. Maybe this mess will be over by then. Maybe we won't have to go anywhere.
