It all started off with my MENTOR, FRIEND and Wonderful Air Force Officer (TheColonel). She was transitioning back to the world after a long and interesting year in the IZ. In fact, I would say she has done just about everything a CommO can do...joint, tactical, fixed and now nation building! What a way to finish off her career with working Country Level IT projects and infrastructure. She is one amazing lady.

even though she was here for a few day, I only got this ONE picture of her on the night she arrived. It was a treat to see her and talk "shop" like we always do when we get together. I only wish she was going to continue her service. However, it's time! She has paid her dues with MANY TDYs over the years and spending the last 3 years geographically separated from her hubby (Bob). It's time to head back to the Springs and enjoy family time! Good decision for her and the family, but the AF is losing a fine leader! She had the leadership down back when she was a young CGO! In fact, that's when we first met...and she has been "taking care of this Airman" ever since.
All I can say is THANK YOU for everything you have done for the Air Force. Thank you for all you have sacrificed. Thank YOU for taking care of this Airman...you made a difference in my life!
Also, with the new month comes new promotions. This one was very special since myBuddyBill finally pinned on those much deserved CMSGT stripes. The best part for me was that he allowed me to Pin Him! What a thrill for ME!!!! and a privilege.

Finally, the week ended with the monthly Promotion and Recognition ceremony. WOW do these young Airmen make things happen. We had several receive the new Hall of Fame award. But the best part is hanging out with the Man (AFCENT Command Chief). He's a great guy and I'll miss him when he leaves...He's really be great to hang out with and enjoy some time with since being here.
