Lori's Story

Life I have been pretty busy, but in short...I was married to Travis in Bov, Denmark in March of 1992. (He's a Texan of all things!) My wonderful son Garrett is 10 and my sweet daughter Laeral is 5. We are all very active in Scouting and do a lot as a family. We have been stationed in Germany twice and are currently at Ft. Bragg in NC (but we are Air Force, NOT Army.) We are here until I finish my next degree and then we are going to Italy or back to Germany. That is me in a nutshell. Doesn't seem like almost 15 years since graduation! School I did the semester at UMass and found out college was more than I could afford. So, I joined the Air Force. Two kids later I complete two associates in Germany with City Colleges of Chicago (part of Harold Washinton U.) Now I am working on a dual B.A. in early childhood education and special education with a minor in Spanish. When I finish and get a job to pay for the school loans I am going to begin my masters and eventually get that doctrate. I want to do some work at Oxford as a lexicologist someday and I would love to spend a few years teaching at Heidelberg (Germany) once we retire. We'll see.... College I am attending Methodist right now. In a few years (hopefully) I will be out with a magna cum laude and a good teaching position overs...Expand for more
eas (Italy or Germany--wherever Uncle Sam sends us next). I am going to continue at nights to get my masters and keep going until I have that doctorate in my hands. Someday I want an English degree so I can do lexicological studies at Oxford or teach at Heidelberg. Workplace I am a mom of two children, two pets, one military spouse, and I attend college full-time. Need I say more? Military I did Army ROTC at UMass and they wanted to give me a scholarship, but I wasn't ready to promise the Army four years--or more. I DEPPed in the Navy, but they were pretty sexist in what jobs they would offer me (this is pre "tailhook" remember.) I ended up joining the Air Force and became a wideband communications specialist. I did Basic at Lackland AFB and loved every blessed minute. From there I went to Keesler AFB, Mississippi and trained. (New Orleans and Bourbon Street wasn't too far away, so weekends weren't too bad!) I worked with the 212th EIS in Worcester when Travis and I found out we were expecting. The field I was in was a high-deployment position and I could go active at that time, so Uncle Sam let me out to raise my son. I miss the military a lot. I truly loved it, but I didn't want a daycare raising my children. It was the right choice and we have still seen the world as dependents!
