I have been slightly busy since my last post (27FEB). I went on the 6-week TDY. I was training people to go on the deployment that I went on last year. I enjoyed what I was doing there and I got to make fun of pilots, it was great! This was my first time going to an Air Force Base that was strictly for guard personnel... It was a different breed of people. One of the Master Sgts insisted that I call him by his first name, but I couldn't do it. Towards the end of the TDY one of the LtCols came into my work area. As I was standing up to greet him, he sat on my desk and propped his feet up in an empty chair (so much for professionalism). He proceeded to ask me what he had to do to get me to stay there an extra month. I told him I wasn't 100% positive but to contact my squadron. My Commander wouldn't approve it because I had to go to ALS so that I could get promoted before I left to head to Korea.
I came back to VA. I know that Mary was happy to see me home, and I was happy to see her. I enjoyed what I was doing on my TDY because I had a lot of job satisfaction.
I made it through ALS and was promoted. I wasn't given any subordinates since Im about to leave. But I have had to council airmen and pick-up a little extra slack here and there. Also I was interviewed by the LA Times Magazine about my job (that was pretty cool).
Mary and I have been attending a birthing class in preparation for our second child. I missed all of the classes with our first child (since I was in Korea). I have learned a good amount of 'stuff' about babies. Did you know that a stork DOESN'T deliver the baby??? News to me!
We have the movers scheduled and are ready to get out of our house! We are ready to see what our baby boy is going to look like and ready to start the next chapter in our book of life.
