Captain Promotion

This past week I reached the 4 year mark in my Air Force career and pinned on Captain 27 Jun. It's a nice step financially, but also in responsibility. In a few months I'll be going into the Flight Lead Upgrade program (FLUG), which I'm really looking forward to. It's cool being a wingman, but I'm ready to be up there leading other jets around and making the decisions. The FLUG doesn't have much to do with making Captain (most do unless they screw up pretty badly), but it works out that most guys start not long after being promoted. It was great to have Lana down again in between her flights with Lufthansa, and I was also able to have my pin on out by our squadron jet.

It's hard to believe 4 years have gone by already. When I look back at what I've been through and what God has allowed me to accomplish, it's exciting to think about what still is to come. Late next year I should have my next assignment, but for now I plan on enjoying as much of Europe as I can.
