A time of change

I am starting to get settled into my new job and it has some pros and cons. Right now the scale is leaning on the negative side, but that could balance out once I am finished with my training and really know what I am doing. The change is going to keep on coming, though. We'll move into a new building in Sept/Oct, and then I will be promoted likely around 1 March 2014. Around that time I should find out if I am accepted to the Masters Degree program via the Air Force. now THAT will be a huge change if I am accepted. Fingers crossed!

Awesome vacation over

We just got back from an awesome vacation - we flew into Dayton, stayed overnight, drove into Traverse City and stayed there for 5 days, then drove back down to Dayton for another night. It was an awesome vacation and I got to see some friends and family that I had not seen in quite some time. My dad had a BBQ on the 4th and tons of people showed up. Kelley's parents got to meet my parents for the first time and see some of the town I grew up in. Overall, it was really awesome!

Whew, glad that is over!

And so a stressful time in my life has come to a close. Well, maybe not a close, but certainly a transition. I have been waiting since March to find out if I studied hard enough to make Master Sergeant (MSgt), the next rank for me in my military career. Today, I found out that I did indeed make it. I have been selected for what is most likely my last promotion. I hit 16 years in the military 3 months ago and I am probably going to retire at 20 years. Today was like a referendum on my military career and I passed. The next 4 years are going to be challenging, but I am up for it!

Counting down

13 days until the AF releases the list of MSgt promotees. I am starting to get rather nervous and excited. I did clear one hurdle in my way recently - I passed my PT test in April, although I only got an 88.6 (9 seconds short of a 90). That means I have to start going to AF PT once a week now. However, since I am PT Leader now, I have to hold my own PT sessions once a week, so this basically changes nothing.
