Air Force Update!

UPDATE ON THE QUEST TO JOIN THE AIR FORCE!

After jumping through hoops and more hoops, we wait again. Hopefully on Saturday, Andrew will travel on down to MEPS (Military Enlistment Processing Station) to have his physical, pick his career path, and finally swear into the USAF!

Andrew did find out his test scores last week from the ASVAB test he took. His overall score was in the70th Percentile, but the best part was that he scored at the top level on the line scores (scores that determine what career path area one is allowed to choose from). It looks like Andrew will get one step closer to his dream career of being a pilot and join the Avionics Systems division in the USAF.

Andrew is hoping that after tech school, he will be assigned to the RQ-1 aircraft (radio controlled, unmanned aircraft) and Heather hopes that he does not get assigned to the F-16 Falcon (will end up getting stationed back in AZ where IT'S HOT!!)

Until the day I know when I am leaving for Basic Training, STAY TUNED.....

Life Goes On

Hi-

So as we have recently learned life does indeed go on. Andrew got laid off from his job at Smith and Nephew last month. While it did in deed give a hard blow we have managed to keep our heads above water and move forward. Andrew is in the process of joining the Air Force to do what he has always wanted to do, be around air planes. We are very excited as this will bring another new chapter to our fastly growing life story. I am still at my job with the Podiatrist and working hard. Hayden has been keeping busy trying to drive me crazy. We are all doing well and learning new lessons from this situation but the one thing we have mastered is that life goes on. Stay tuned...
