Matt's news

After months of waiting, the paperwork has finally gone through for Matt to be in the Atlantic City Air National Guard F-16 unit! He was offered the job back in October, but as is standard with the goverment, it seemed as though there was one delay after another in getting everything processed. So, now he just has to go get sworn in. Initially he was told he would need to wear his Service Dress for this, which was not a good thing to hear because it is in the storage unit with the rest of our household goods (picture a 4 bedroom house jammed into a little storage unit). It was going to be next to impossible to find. Luckily they told him he can just wear a suit since he is technically a civilian right now. So, eventually he will be off to a TX course to get retrained in flying the F-16 which will be 3 or 4 months long. No idea when that will be or where, but needless to say, Matt is THRILLED at the prospect of flying "pointy jets" again!
