Working in Requirements at the Davis-Monthan AFB CAOC. No clue what my job is but fun and I'm not under a humvee with chains and devices(joking a little bit). I like it but I'm thinking of trying for a position in Germany. I have 5 kids and I'm still married to Lee. I was running marathons in 2001 and now I am out of shape so I am starting a 90day fitness challenge this month and aiming to run the San Antonio half marathon in November. Boy I have a longg way to go. Luck this way please. Love to hide in no plot books and fun music. I am two classes from my bachelors... I may finish by the end of 08 if I get to it. I finally took speech so I have my CCAF this month...yeahhhh!!! I don't feel any smarter but our civilian told me I will now look at andXevalXuate things in a more knowledgable way... yeah he doesn't know me that well. I would love to hear from you all. Marie
