Congratulations Brad!

We are so excited to announce that Brad was accepted in to the Air Force's Weapons School!!  For those of you who don't know all the Air Force lingo, Weapon's School is basically the highest level of training you can receive as a fighter pilot (Brad isn't a fan of this analogy but think Top Gun, only any AF guy will tell you how much longer, harder, and more in depth AF weapons school is!).  You have to reach certain requirements in your career before you are allowed to apply, then once you apply you are ranked among all the applicants at your base and then sent to a board who evaluates all the applicants from bases from around the world and selects a class of 8 active duty pilots (and 2 reserve pilots).  And this is usually a process you go through multiple times before being accepted.  So with all that said, Brad found out officially that he was accepted for the next class and will be moving to Las Vegas to start in January!  This has been a goal of Brad's since he became a pilot and I am so proud of my husband for having the talent and extreme work ethic to get it done.  The next year will surely bring lots of hard work for both Dad and Mom, but we are excited that Brad has reached this tremendous milestone in his career. We should also be receiving a follow on assignment in (hopefully!)the next few weeks so we will let you know where the next place we will be calling home is when we get word.
