MQ-1 Sensor Operator that is.
Bryan sent me the 2 pics of him with the MQ-1 a while back and then I edited the class pic for him today and thought I would share them all. It is so awesome to hear the joy in his voice about this new job after 10 years of him hating his previous career field. 9 more sims/flights to go and he gets to come home!

So, is anyone up for a couple of challenges? Fitness challenges that is?
I am starting the one hundred push ups and two hundred sit ups challenge. I have finally decided that I AM going to be able to keep up with Bryan’s pt requirements for the military and while I have no issues with the run, I cannot do push ups or sit ups to save my life.My endurance is strong, but my core strength sucks. I can do plank into upward facing dog in yoga but can’t come back up on a push up. Pitiful really ;).
So, today I did the initial test. 4 sit ups and 3 push ups. Those numbers are so bad, I shouldn’t even admit to them but alas, I am not going to improve by hiding behind my weaknesses. I plan to do the actual program on M-W-F, starting Monday. I even downloaded the iPhone apps for both programs, so I have an easy way to track that is always with me no matter where I am (since I won’t finish the program before we move). As I get going, I will post my progresses sporadically to keep myself accountable. Help me out there too though…okay?!
1. 5 days 22 hours 36 minutes till I see Bryan.
2. Jacey made it to Texas a-okay and I didn’t cry in front of her.
3. The cushioning in the savings account to fly and see Bryan.
4. 3 more weeks of work.
5. 43 more days till we move.
Bryan sent this to me last night. I have seen it before, but it is worth repeating.
Always, do it anyway!

…to see Bryan! I’m going to see Bryan!
Originally, it was not in the plans for me to go see Bryan during this TDY. In between the PCS, me finishing up at work, school, etc compiled with the fact that Bryan wasn’t supposed to have a rental car, we briefly mentioned it and then dropped it. Well, things changed.
Bryan ended up with a rental car all to himself, so he can drive to El Paso to pick me up. Jacey leaves on Friday for 2 weeks in Texas, leaving me all by my lonesome. As for the rest, it will all be here when I get back, so I took the plunge and bought tickets. I fly out after work on Thursday, the 17th and come home Sunday, the 20th. It is a quick trip but worth it, since we haven’t seen each other in 45-ish days (on top of the back to back TDY’s he has had since October) and it will probably be the last couple time we get for a long while since we won’t have anyone to keep Jacey once we move to Vegas.
Even better, Bryan will most likely be home within 2 weeks from when I get back instead of the middle of July.
Yay!
