Oh yeah, I have a blog to update

Well, contrary to what some of you might have heard, I am still alive and kicking, albeight a bit less than usual. Aside from having a job that has differing at best hours, I have a pregnant wife that is suffering from debilitating nausea, so when I get home there are clothes and dishes to take care of, meals to cook, homework to do, and a dog to walk/play with. Add on top of that, a week of recovering from a fun-filled oral surgery, and then coming back to a hectic work week full of schedule changes....the blog kind of took a back seat.

Sorry.

So Holly is feeling a little better. She had her first appointment at the hospital today, got lab work done, and got put into the OB/GYN system for all of her future appointments. To alay her fears, they were able to schedule her next appointment for next Wednesday. At that visit, she will get her physical and get the little one's heartbeat checked.

Work has been busy. We got a new 1SG, so there has been lots of updating databses, printing reports, and general trainup of the new commanders advisor. Add on to that, preperation for "Large Package Week," where we take the whole battalion and throw them out of airplanes with all of their gear. As you can imagine, there are about 3 weeks of prep that need to go into this, and we usually get about 4 days.

I was a Saftey on on of the aircraft, which means I was overall responsible for the saftey of everyone on my bird. You see the guys in the movies that stand at the door and grab everyones static line as they jump out, right? Well, that was me. It is an exhilirating experience, capped by the fact that thanks to the USAF pilots, I almost got to test an Air Force emergency chute. More details to follow on that, sometime.

But for now, I am going to go to lunch, and keep catchingup on my work. And nursing the arm that slammed into the airframe, keeping me inside the plane. Damn Air Force
