News!

Ok so here's the latest (I would advise against taking this seriously as I'm sure it will change again) Columbus, Mississippi is out. Vance AFB, Oklahoma is in. Tornado country here we come. Supposedly we don't report until November of this year. From Vance we will attend ASBC in Maxwell for 6 weeks and Matt will go to Pueblo, CO for 6 or so weeks. Those will both be in early 2009. Pilot training will start Julyish of 2009 and we'll just stay at Vance for that. SO moral of the story is we'll be in OK for a long time and we'll be homeless from graduation till we report to Vance. We're thinking when they set this in stone we'll go ahead and make plans for that random 5 month where we just have to find a way to make ends meet.
As far as my reaction, I'm excited to finally know something, but I'm a little bummed about the 5 months. It's a little annoying and thinking of working for Enterprise for an extra 5 months makes me sick. I'm sure we'll find something else for me, but we'll just have to take it day by day and see what happens. I'm just struggling with the fact that the Air Force can leave their officers stranded for that long and just expect them to "make it work".
Anyway, I'll get over it and it's not the worst thing that could have happened. Just makes me realize we are really at the beck and call of the Air Force and we have 12 years ahead of it. Gonna be crazy!
