Wanna know a secret? I came in the Air Force about a year before my husband did. Many of you know this, but many of you don’t. Because I had switched to the AF reserves in 2005, the timing for competing for promotions became very different for the two of us. So even though up … Read more
No, it isn’t working for me either. I’ll keep the title as is, okay? Greetings from Nebraska. I’ve been on Reserve duty for the past week. I hadn’t been here since May, so it was nice to see my colleagues and meet several new faces in my office. Many of you know this already, but … Read more
Last Friday was Dave’s change of command. He took command of the 2d Combat Weather Systems Squadron. For any no-longer-actively-serving-in-Air-Force-Weather types, the squadron stood up in early 2010 combining personnel from the AF Combat Weather Center at Hurlburt Field with the Weather System Support Cadres from Robins and Tinker AFBs.

I found this flyer that was handed to me when I turned on the Disney World Tickets last Thursday. I remember stuffing it into our backpack as soon as I got it, and while cleaning out the backpack yesterday I found it.

They flew down from Ohio for … Read more

We can’t believe it! We knew something was up when Dave got a phone call during church this morning. I was … Read more

The reason I was inspired to post about that 1957 Air Force wife book last week was because I was thinking about getting some “calling cards” of my own.

(Click on the pictures to see closeups of the text in the pictures). Several years ago I received this book from my father-in-law. He got it from a friend who sells antiques. Dad thought I’d be intrigued by it, and gave it to me as a tongue-in-cheek gift. I read the book the same weekend … Read more
For those military families, you know the routine… You have a limited amount of time to pick out your new house, and there are things you just can’t know about the house until you’ve been in the house for a while… …and then it’s too late. You’ve tranferred the deed…or you’ve signed the lease. In … Read more
