To both you and starwise,

you’re very kind. It’s good to know there are so many people out there that care about those in the military. For those I might have missed.....thanks for your kind words. My husband loves his job. He loved flying F-16s a whole lot more and loved being an instructor and hopes to go back to that. He did not want the predator and doesn’t feel challenged by it, but understands the AF needs come first.

We’ve had a good life and feel kind of guilty when people say thanks because so many have sacrificed so much. So many young men and women that have lost their lives. All we have sacrificed is a few deployments and the long hours my husband works. Of course, I worried about him when he was deployed but he’s not a front line combat troop. He tells me stories all the time about the special ops teams he helps and gets so much gratification out of being able to help them stay alive by giving them the positions of the enemy and such. That’s the part of this assignment that he likes. He can’t say enough good things about our special forces.
