We are back into the main story and the onto Era #7 (January 1994 to October 1996). I end my tour at Fort Irwin after only being stationed there for only a year. I elect to go back to Augsburg, Germany where we stay for 3 more years. My life is back to normal, and I am again going to the Stars & Stripes bookstore on Quatermaster Kaserne.
We begin recovering from the financial burden in which we placed ourselves while living in California. I briefly return to the states to attend Basic Non-Commissioned Officer Course (BNCOC) at Fort Huachuca, Arizona (January 1995 - March 1995), but I am back in Augsburg in time to welcomed into the world our second daughter, Rebecca, on April 14, 1995 at the Zentralklinkikum. It was another difficult pregnancy. Samantha was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, and Becca is born nearly a month early. Fortunately from there, our lives fall into mundane rut for the rest of the tour with a few exception (like a small vacation to Budapest, Hungary).
The X-Men stories also find a groove with steady writing from Scott Lobdell and Fabian Nicieza. The memorable arcs of this era include the Phalanx Covenant, Legion Quest, Age of Apocalypse and Onslaught. With no cell phones, limited computer access, one TV channel, extra responsibilities and little cash to go out, comics again become a primary form of escapism for me.
