Hi! I hope that you're all doing well. I got an email from Jenn today and thought that I would share the wonderful news. Take care of yourselves....I love ya'll!
EMail from Jenn:
Hey everybody...No, I am not prego, but we are gettin' the h--- outta Del Rio. I am sorrythat we have fallen of off the face of the earth lately, but life has beensuper hectic. Paul's entire Air Force career was determined last night,Drop Night.
Drop Night, is the one night at the end of pilot training where each pilotfinds out what plane they will be flying, which ultimately determines theirmissions, and what base they will be stationed at next. The instructors getup in front of everyone and tell stories and make fun of all of the stupidthings that the pilot's did during piliot training and everyone begins totap the kegs. It is the best party of the year.
So, I guess you are wondering what we got!...Well, we are moving to Fairfield, California to fly the KC-10 at Travis AFB. Each pilot had to rank the 18 planes and bases according to theirpreference. They of course try to give each pilot one of their top choices,but it all depends on how each pilot is ranked in the class. I am so proudof how hard Paul has worked this past year and yesterday we found out thathe was ranked 1st out of all of the active duty pilot's and 2nd out of allof the pilots. It is a huge accomplishment for him, especially since theone Guard/Reserve pilot that is ranked ahead of him came into training withover 1400 flying hours and Paul came in with only 44 hours. Needless tosay, Paul got his first choice of plane and base. When they announced it,all of the pilots were so excited for Paul...they all ran up and piled ontop of him. I started to cry happy tears...I was so excited!
Fairfield is in Nothern California, only 30 min from Sacramento, 1.5 hrsfrom San Francisco, 1.5 hrs from camping, 2 hrs from Lake Tahoe, close toNapa Valley, 1.5 hrs from the beach and 3 hrs from Las Vegas. Ya'll willhave to come visit! We will probably leave within the next 6-8 wks and wewill be in Cali for 3-4 years. Paul will only be deployed 3-4 months out ofeach year and then just fly weekly missions every so often.Okay, I will quit bragging about my hubby and how proud I am of him. I amjust thrilled that we will be moving some place that has a mall!Love always, Jenn
