Last Friday was Dave’s change of command.  He took command of the 2d Combat Weather Systems Squadron<\/a>.  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. <\/p>\n

Both sets of parents, Dave’s brother and our niece came into town to see the ceremony.  It went off without a hitch, and here are a few pictures of our day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Dave presented me flowers.  He called it an advance apology for late nights and changes to weekend plans.  \ud83d\ude42  He knew to get me a mixed bouquet instead of roses or lilies, which are typically what one sees given.  That mixed bouquet is still looking like it was just picked 5 days later in a vase on our kitchen table \ud83d\ude42<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n

The boys each got one of these coins.  A great gift!  Good job Dad!  We’re so proud of you!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
