Schedule Crazy
I have had a extremely busy schedule the past few weeks! Sixteen hour days, nineteen consistent days. We have been having an inspection on base to ensure that we can deploy troops in a fast but accurate manner. I was deployed last summer and it seemed like we just packed ugly clothes that we wold never wear and go hand out overseas for a couple of months. I was so wrong so much preparation goes into deploying troops. During the inspection I was working in the Air transportation office ensuring all baggage weights were correct to maintain proper loading for the aircraft. Sometimes when I work in the office behind a desk, I forget I am there to make sure the airplanes stay in the sky. I wonder why our jobs seems so insignificant to us at times. But when the step back and look at the big picture every single detail matters. I love Air Force aircraft's, from Global Hawk, C-5, B-52, and E-3.

It is amazing how such a simple task is so important. It's probably better not to think about how important it is just so you don't get really nervous and anxious while doing it =)

I heard on the news that the president doesn't want to keep one of our really cool planes because it's too expensive. I don't know if you heard about this. It's the F-22 Raptor.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a really cool stealth plane. It was used during the Cold War against the Soviets so that we could be sneaky if we had to attack. Alright thought you might like to know that. Here's the website for the stuff I heard on the radio if you wanna read about it:
