What world is that?

Tomorrow I am done with a week of in processing and start my electronics courses... I am very excited to learn specifics...

An interesting military story that won't mean mch to anybody that is or has not been in the military.

Yesterday I took a walk with Emily and the kids around base. Tech school is divided up into phases, each phase removing restrictions from the previous phases...As I just started I am in phase 1. One of the restrictions is that I cannot ride in cars. So we walked to the marina which .a very long walk indeed. As we started back from the marina a car slowed down and asked if we wanted a ride. Being the good little airman that I am, trying to remember all the rules, informed the gentleman that I could not ride in the car but that I would appreciate him giving a ride to my family. He said "you can ride with me" and proceeded to pull a u-turn in the middle of the road. He pulled to stop and said "climb in" I said, I'm in tech school sir and am not allowed to ride in cars yet" He said, "I am the vice wing commander and I say you can ride in my car." I am so taken aback that I completely forget to salute and offer simply "thank you very much sir." We pile Emily and Ari in the front seat, myself and Ivy in the back seat next to his daughter of about 7-8 and what later turns out to be the daughter on my squadron commander. He was very nice and never addressed my complete lack of what is known as "military bearing". He promised that he wouldn't tell my commander that I broke the rules.

I am now at Tech School. What a far cry from basic training...I live in what is basically a two bed hotel room, which is absurd compared to my previous 50 bed living arangement. Emily should be ariving today with the kids. I don't have anymore time for you...so bye.

8.5 Weeks, Or: How beautiful is the Love of G-d

Basic training is over, and I have yet to fully get a hold of that fact. Tonight I leave for Tech School for about 6 months. I am somewhat dazed by the transition from the past two months to a slightly more "normal-real-life." I am overwhelmed by how much the Lord has given to me. An incredible group of friends who helped make this easier for my family. An even more incredible family who extended themselves to provide a place for my family to stay while I was away, and who certainly poured out spiritual support as well. Life is Beautiful.
