It's snowing here too!

Well this week has been very productive for me.  I am knocking out a bunch of the classes and qualifications that I have to have done before I deploy.
 I got my new squadron patches on Monday!  They're blue.

I went to the doctors office to give them back some paperwork that I've been holding on to for the past month and they kindly escorted me to the immunization office to get my typhoid, hep b and anthrax shot!  I should have kept a lower profile for sure!

My leave was approved!  So that means I'll be with Kristen, and back home, for Christmas!  I took two weeks off!  How awesome is that.  I had 33 1/2 days of leave, so I figured..., aw what the heck..., I can burn through 14 of them.  Haha.  When I get back from my deployment I am going to have a bunch again anyway.
 It started snowing this week.  I thought that since God put me through a blizzard and then non stop snow for 28 days in a row very recently that he would spare me for a while...., I guess not.  I thought that people in New Orleans sucked at driving in the snow because it only snows there every 10 years or so..., but nope..., they suck here too (including me)!  Haha.

Yesterday, my family had their Christmas get together...........
 Kristen went for us.  I went to the shoppette and bought some of Boston's finest and watched some college football. 

I had another ride in the C-5 sim today.  That thing is awesome!  It's huge and the sim is a full motion sim!  It feels so real!

Monday I'll qualify in the M-9 pistol.
Tuesday I'll qualify in the M-4 rifle..... so that'll be a lot of fun for sure!
Wednesday I I'll take an instruments test
Thursday I'll get a dentist and doctor appointments.
Friday I'm flying home to see Kristen family and friends!
