Quebec Flight

Here is Ben with his flight! Ben is very tan and has lost several percentages of body fat in the last month, so in case you can't recognize him, he's the one in the front right, kneeling. Otherwise known as the best looking one in the entire group. You would think pictures would comfort me and help me feel connected, but it just makes me miss him more. I'm leaving on Wednesday to go to Montgomery, AL. I have spouses' orientation and graduation on Thursday, and the final parade is Friday and then I get to take him HOME!!! We're not sure if we'll get to see each other on Wednesday night yet or not, it depends on if they achieve 1st class status between now and Wednesday; which means he'll be allowed to leave base on the weekdays after his academic day is done. Each moment this week seems to be crawling by!

Here's Ben's commentary to accompany the picture: This is a picture of the whole flight (small group that we’re separated into) with our guidons (poles with pennants and ornaments on top). The significance of this picture was that we’d just won Athletic Flight and Honor Flight of the Week for both our squadron (we beat 5 other flights) and the class (we beat 18 other flights). We were very proud. The red and green sashes hanging above the blue pennant (the biggest flag) are for the class, while the Falcons pennant (the maroon flag) is for the squadron. Enjoy.
