The year 2000 is finally here. There is great anticipation, lots of excitement and apprehension.
Anxiety is created from the unknown.
Similarly, the assignment process creates stress because of the unknown. We are enjoying our job and the family is enjoying their experiences, but at the same time we wonder where will we go for our next assignment. We look forward to it in anticipation but at the same time with some anxiety because we have no control over it. D.C. Many officers have not had the opportunity to visit their assignment officer and may have only spoken with them on the phone once or twice. This only increases the anxiety of the process.
