Going home for Thanksgiving

Well I have a short week only three days. Then it's off to Savannah to spend some quality time with Marie Shirley and Elizabeth and somewhere in that weekend we will be joined by Karaline. Flight training is going well I would say the week after I get back from Thanksgiving my training should be complete and I will be flying students. I'm actually looking forward to it I enjoyed my time when I was here from 2000 To 2004. Flame students is probably one of the most challenging things I've done in the Apache. On average most of the student pilots have less than 100 hours  and zero aircraft hours in the Apache. So it should be fun to start all of that again. As I have said before it is like a great big reunion here with all of the people that I have worked with in my carer. So many of them are here as contractors and DACs. I have many friends here at Rucker so new but most old from all over the world and my Army travels. I look forward to working with all of them again without the distractions of thinking about our next Combat tour together, because those days are finally behind me and them for ever.

The RV is working out pretty well, it's starting to get a little cold out I went out and purchased an additional heater but I leave in the bedroom it has a built-in thermostat and I set it for 75 and turn it on when I go to bed. It's fairly quiet doesn't wake me up and works fairly well, keeps the bedroom side of the RV pretty comfortable. However I don't think it is gotten below 50° yet so time will tell if the fireplace and the extra electric heater are enough to keep the RV warm.
