Assignment Night, The Mustache, and Our Needs

Are you totally excited for Assignment Night tomorrow?.....I am
Have you been waiting over a year to get your first assignment?....I have
Are you totally sad/mad that the people in charge decided it would work better for them to have assignment night next Friday on the14th?......I am
Are you going to pout and cry about it?....I did

So we have to wait yet another week to find out our first assignment, I was pretty devastated. I know that there are worse things that can happen to a person, but it was a total shock to me . I know it's only a week.

There has been a lot of discussing our "list" and rearranging the order of our base choices. We did a lot of thinking and praying about what order we would put our base choices. It was very surprising what we ended putting on the list. I'll keep everyone out there guessing, just like I am.

We had a crazy thing happen here, our friends who I mentioned in the last post, got a change of assignment. They already graduated and everything, the assignment they were given was flying hueys in Wyoming. The short version of the story is our friend was at work, they asked him if he would like to switch from hueys to 6os. He said that he would, they told him to make a list of his top choices and turn it in. He called his wife, they came up with a list. He turned it in. They gave him his first choice, to Kadena Afb in Japan. Now I'm thinking there is an open spot to Wyoming and they will be giving it out at Joe's assignment night. I guess like a lot of things in the air force, we'll just have to wait and see.

So it's March. For student pilots and some other people in the air force that means Mustache March. In March they decide to grow mustaches to promote brotherhood and camaraderie, yeah right! Or in other words, your husband looks not so cute/creepy for the month of March. Joe wasn't going to participate this year, but there is a lot of peer pressure down at the squadron and obviously they didn't see him last year. The good news is we have graduation on the 21st and I have been promised that there will be no sign of a mustache on graduation day. Good thing, I'm sure we will be taking a lot of pictures that day.

Shall we have some fun to lighten the mood?
