MOVING.....

DRUMROLL PLEASE...........JOE GOT AN EMAIL FROM THE AIRFORCE YESTERDAY. APPARENTLY WE ARE MOVING TO........................................................................................

SPANGDAHLEM AFB IN GERMANY. THAT'S RIGHT FOLKS.....GERMANY!!! ALL I CAN SAY IS WOOOOHOOOOO! SO EXCITED. IT IS VERY UNEXPECTED. ALL I KNOW FOR NOW IS WE ARE SUPPOSED TO LEAVE APRIL 1ST. WOW. I THOUGHT WE WOULD BE HERE A WHILE. PEOPLE WHO COME TO LUKE AFB END UP STAYING HERE QUITE A WHILE. BUT HERE'S THE SCOOP...

JOE IS A CREW CHIEF ON THE F-16 FIGHTER JET. THIS PARTICULAR JET IS BEING PHASED OUT BY THE NEW F-35. THEY ARE GETTING RID OF QUITE A FEW AIRCRAFT HERE AND THAT MEANS JOE WON'T HAVE PLANES HERE TO WORK ON. THEY ARE JUST BRINGING NEW GUYS IN STRAIGHT FROM TECH SCHOOL WHO ARE LEARNING ON THE F-35. THAT MEANS THEY NEED TO SEND US SOMEWHERE WHERE HE CAN STILL WORK ON THE F-16......................AND I GUESS THAT MEANS GERMANY FOR NOW. DON'T KNOW THE DETAILS. DON'T KNOW FOR HOW LONG. BUT I REALLY HOPE IT HAPPENS THIS TIME. WE DEFINITELY HAVE HIGHER HOPES. HE ALREADY GOT CHECKLISTS AND PAPERWORK TO START. YAY!!!!!
