Well ladies sounds like you are all dw's and dg's of non-priors. Like I said before at least they are safe and sound in the good old USA, things could be worse. I am sure you will all have the strength to make it through this short three months. I know a graduate of this past class who said their upper class was pretty ****** to them, so they were very nice to the 06-01 class. Good news for our fellows who are to be treated by those who themeselves were treated well. I guess I am probably the matron of the group, should I divulge my age? My husband and I have been together 10 years, and married 9, and I didn't get married young. I guess I can be the motherly one who has had 10 years experience as an Air Force Wife. I realize it will be somewhat of a change to be an Officer Wife, but I have mingled with all different kinds in my 10 years. If you have any specific questions that I might be able to answer please let me know and I will try to respond. My husband was with AFSOC as a combat controller for 111/2 years, and there have been years when he has been gone 200 out of 365 days. We made the decision to pursue what AFSOC refers to as a career in the regular AF so he can spend more time at home with our now 7 year old son and 8 month old daughter. If I could send a picture of them I would, because they are my heart and soul. We have actually been through a lot in our 10 short years together, and this past year was particularly trying. After giving birth to our daughter in late December I almost died due to medical negligence. Suffice it to say I had emergency surgery in late January spent 9 days in the hospital and had 2 blood transfusions. I don't remember much but my husband said that kinda pushed him toward getting out of Special Tactics. Hopefully none of your husbands have choosen the Special Tactics path and if they have Bless You! Everyone agreed my husband had reached his pinnacle in that field so he was ready to move on, and we were ready for him to move on. Well best of luck to everyone during this exciting and somewhat trying time. It is going to be an adventure that is for sure!!!

PS
This site is always so bogged down. I don't know if this is going to post or not. I will give it one more try. Posts: 21 | From: Jacksonville, AR | Registered: Sep 2005  |  IP: Logged | Problem w/ Post?

Melanie-- 3-11 is your hubby's flight number. I think (key word "think" ) that the 3 means he's a tiger flight. The 11-- I think-- is a section of the tiger flight. Of course, I know that's maybe not the correct terminology. Gloria, help explain this better you prior AF wife you.

For example, my husband is 3-13. So he is in the tiger flight. Another SO's was 3-10 and he is in the tiger flight too but a different group... Does that help?

I can't access the site again either. Posts: 39 | From: Missouri | Registered: Sep 2005  |  IP: Logged | Problem w/ Post?

Well I hope the site stays up long enough for me to post this. I am very boring too, so no need to worry. I love board games when we are at friendly functions. Try apples to Oranges, we played it recently at a gather and no alcohol was consumed but we were all laughing and giddy from playing it. Maybe I will pick it up and bring it to Montgomery. My hobbies are basically my family. I have a Masters in Public Administration, but I decided not to go back to work after having Gaby. I stayed home with Glee the first four years of his life and then when I decided to go to grad school my mom took care of him while I went to school full time and worked as a graduate assitant to pay for it. Needless to say I would live to get my law degree some day, but for now I can't imagine having to leave Gaby to go to class. Maybe in a couple of years I might apply, but who knows where we will be. Gabe is big into flying Radio Controlled Model Airplanes. He has been doing it since he was 7 and he is pretty OCD about it. He even took one with him to AL, in case he has any free time. He also has a dirt bike, my son has one to. Gabe has been riding bikes since 12 and Glee started at 4. I think I am raising a future stuntman not that I am that happy about it. I volunteer at my son's school and have been involoved with Glee's soccer (sp?) team, tee ball team, and cub scouts, but this fall I had to cut all that out because Gabe was going to be gone and I wasn't sure how things would go with having another child in my life while Gabe was gone. Not that we sit around the house we are pretty much busy every weekend, we find things to keep us busy believe me. Anyway, I talked to Gabe about three times yesterday, and he was saying that he had a lot of stuff to get done, and talking to us was helping to get a second wind and stay motivated. Well ladies they have definantly made it through the first week, so here's hoping that means they are in like flin, no turning back now. I am going to try to post this now, wish me luck.
PS Melanie Ethan is absolutely beautiful. Maybe we can coordinate to have our kids with the same child care provider durong the DO if neither of us have family members available to come to Montgomery that night. At least that way Glee who is 7 would be able to keep an eye on them and let us know if the sitter was adequate.

Well it is way past the morning; it's 4:00 in the p.m. and I can't get on the site either. I was getting ready to say why does this always happen? But lately it's been so consistent. Bummer!!

I guess no one has heard about graduation yet? Posts: 39 | From: Missouri | Registered: Sep 2005  |  IP: Logged | Problem w/ Post?
