Michelle's Story
Life
Well, believe it or not - I've been in the USAF since graduation (can you believe we're going on 25 years now?). I was enlisted - stationed in South Dakota, Maine, Texas, Germany - went to college at night for years - got my degree and my commission - then was stationed at the Pentagon. Been doing ANYTHING and EVERYTHING in Comm-Computers since 1984 (before that I worked on B-52s). I always wanted 12 kids but I've only managed to have 4 (so far) - Thomas is 23, Jennifer is 17, Michael is 14, and Benjamin is 7. I also have a foster son, Rafael (23). (Plus three step-children, so I guess counting that way, I've made it to 8 kids;) Like all of us, I am crazy about my kids - they are quite an interesting and whacky bunch. We have a lot of fun. My husband's name is Erwin Rommel (yes he's named after the German general). He's retired from the Air Force - now works for the US Postal Service. Luckily, I left the Pentagon just months before Sept 11 - I had friends emailing me from there during the attack! I've been at Scott AFB, Illinois - working as a Flight Commander for almost four years an...Expand for more
d I love it. I was deployed to Saudi Arabia for IRAQI FREEDOM - now that was exciting! Since Getting back - I've been living!! Went to 11 concerts this summer - front row for the EAGLES - oh yeah! Bought a Harley and learned to ride it. The job has kept me from making any of the reunions yet - but I'll be at the next one (I think)! Currently, I'm working on my Masters/Phd in Clinical Psychology, and that will be my second career when I retire. I believe it will be even better than my first one. I have two grandkids now - can't believe it! The pic on the right is me at Disneyworld last year! I'd love to hear from all of you - It's been a wild ride and I'm still CRAZY after all these YEARS!
Military
The military has been berry, berry good to me. I've seen a lot of places and I've done a lot of things that would have been available in no other way. Being an ultra-liberal sometimes it's frustrating to be here with the most uptight people on earth - but I still admire their spirit and principles. And it's like being a missionary trying to convert them (smile) It's been a wonderful life!
