Kristen got here last night! We went straight to the Montgomery Biscuits baseball game (it was military night).
She came in to watch our Icarus tournament today, we were ranked number 1. But, we only made it to the quarter finals, then lost. Oh well, it sucked because our team was way better than that... After the tournament today we had a burger burn. It was fun too. I was able to introduce Kristen to my flight. I showed Kristen around the base after that. Tonight we went to a local brew pub for burgers and beer in "downtown" Montgomery. Then tonight we finished at the O-club on base.
Tomorrow I "graduate" from ASBC (yaaay). Really, they have a graduation ceremony for us... (haha). Then I'll pack what I got here and drive to New Orleans. From there (Saturday), I'll be heading to Houston, and Sunday, I'll be driving to Del Rio. So here we go.... off into the wild blue yonder.!

One week left!
. 
Sweet!
One week left....ahhh... then... "Off into the wild blue yonder" for real.
Ok.., good news or bad news first..?
Bad news you say? That's the same order I like it in also.
So, last Wednesday I was doing an obstacle course and I had to clamp my legs together on this pole for about 10 minutes to keep my balance. I did it and our team passed the challenge, but afterwards I was feeling like I was going to be sore the next day.....
On Thursday we had a couple of games of Icarus (a made up AF game). During the game I was running and came to a sudden stop. Well, my muscle pulled in my leg. I have pulled muscles before and I just play through them... no problem. But Thursday night my leg was more and more immobile.... it sucks. I never had that happen. When I woke up on Friday it was hard to get out of bed. I went to the doctor and he told me that I pulled my groin. It sucks. He put me on profile, which means no PT. He put me on it for 14 days.
You would think that I would be happy because I don't have to do the warrior run (3 mile trail run) on Wednesday. But no.... this sucks. I cant participate in the obstacle course tomorrow (Monday), most of the paintball game on Tuesday, Warrior run on Wednesday, and the Icarus tournament on Thursday!!! What a croc! OK, to be fair, there is no way that I can run tomorrow yet, my leg still hurts. It hurts just after a couple of running size steps. Oh well....
Now for the good news....... I got a call from Laughlin AFB on Friday letting me know that our house is ready for us to move in! Sweet! It is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath. It has just been handed back to Laughlin AFB from contractors being updated. It now has a larger master bedroom and larger dining room (what a hurricane evacuation pad...)! It also has a fenced in yard and a large tree in the front yard. Sounds good. Maybe too good. We'll see...
This is my last week here at ASBC... This week is just fun.... no more tests.
Kristen is flying up here on Wednesday night to hang out for the last few days with me and see me "graduate" the grogram (they really give me a certificate). She'll get her military ID and enrolled in TRIcare (medical insurance).... yaaaayyyy!!
PS. Today as I was walking into church the CYO was posted at the door..... They pinned a coronation on my lapel and told me happy fathers day ( I didn't stop them... I didnt feel like killing the mood). But next they gave me a box with a gift in it. I had to speak up now.... I didn't want to take a gift if I didn't deserve it.... So I spoke up. But I was told that I would be a daddy soon....? What? Did this CYO kid know something that I didn't know...? It was funny
BTW...( The gift in the box was a pen).

So. It's been a while.
Hey!!!!!!
I'm still alive. I wanted to make an update at least every week. I apologize for taking longer and I'll try better from now on.
The past couple of weeks have been fun/challenging. Lets see, for starters, the biggest thing that happened to me was the one ASBC test that I have to take I failed. That was really bad. I was so upset with myself. I locked myself in my room over the weekend and re-took the test tis morning. And this time I passed with flying colors! Still, it was embarrassing.
This is a picture of what I saw on Monday morning under my door. It was a not shoved under my door from Justin "Whit" Whitford. He's my buddy over here. I've met a lot of good people over here.
I don't like to make excuses but this is the first time that ASBC has done their testing this way. They used to have two tests, one after 3 weeks, and one after 6 weeks. Now, they have just one test, and you learn the material from weeks 2-4. So just 3 weeks of learning for twice the info! Oh well, they told us that all of the tests from this class were lower than any other. I guess this is how the Air Force learns.
Oh well, all of the "hard" stuff is over... for now. This week we have 'Combined Ops'. Which means that we'll be paired up with a senior enlisted airman for a couple of days and they'll share with us some of their experiences and stuff like that.
I am coming back into New Orleans this weekend! I am so excited for that. This will be the last time before the move. I guess I'll be super busy trying to tie up loose ends over there.
Please say a prayer for my grandmother who needs them. She is having a rough time and is in and out of the hospital right now.
