Take my life and let it be for your glory

Take my life and let it be for your glory

Take my life and let it be for your glory. Before I left for Afghanistan I remember being scared. I was uncertain I would survive the adventure I was about to embark on. I’m not sure if it was the fear of dying or just the fear of the unknown, but either way, I was scared […]

Lonely Days of a Military Wife

Lonely Days of a Military Wife

I quickly learned the lonely days of a military wife before I even left the military. The first time my husband left after our son was born was when he was 8 weeks old and he was gone for 8 weeks. Before my husband left my son had started sleeping long stretches each night. I […]

Find your calling for your season

Find your calling for your season

This word was originally focused on what I did when I was in the Air Force as a Civil Engineer. I started to reread it and it was so techy and geeky that even I wasn’t interested. I love nerdy things and know math jokes like why did i say to pi to be rational […]

Work, Work, Work

Work, Work, Work

My prompt word and my title don’t really seem to go together, but they do. Trust me. Rest – Day 12 When I was deployed to Afghanistan there were no days off. There really wasn’t anything else to do besides work and work out so each day we would go to work, but on Sundays […]

Watching Baseball in Afghanistan

Watching Baseball in Afghanistan

My dad taught me everything I know about baseball. And the fact that I got to watch baseball in Afghanistan near the end of my deployment was pretty cool. When I was traveling home from Afghanistan the Giants were in the playoffs. It was the National League Champion Series (NLCS) match up that I watched […]

How to Care for Military Families

Posted by airman2mom@gmail.com Oct 10, 2014 31 Days, FMFriday, Military Life, Moving Leave a Comment

It is Friday so it is time to write for 5 minutes. The FMFriday word is CARE. GO Military families are just like your family except they are probably far away from theirs. They likely don’t have Grandma and Grandpa living nearby. When they stay in town for holidays they probably do not have anywhere to […]

My Reason on Why I Decided to Join the Air Force

My Reason on Why I Decided to Join the Air Force

One of the most popular questions I received when I was in the military was why did you decide to join the Air Force? My answer always was kind of fuzzy and unclear. I could easily say 9/11 because even though I did not sign up till almost two years after that event I always […]

The Military Oath We Say and What It Means

The Military Oath We Say and What It Means

To become an officer in the United States military there is a military oath you take. But first, you must work hard and complete training and graduate from your university. Many of those who started the journey with me did not end up commissioning. Our class of 22 was cut down to nine by the […]

Go Where the Military Sends You

Go Where the Military Sends You

When you are in the military you go where the military sends you. Even if it isn’t what you want. Even if it isn’t what you expect. You might have dreams or plans of your own, but ultimately the military will decide where they need you and they have the final say on where the military […]

Afghanistan Knowledge: The More You Know

Afghanistan Knowledge: The More You Know

I have a lot of knowledge about Afghanistan. I spent four months training before going to Afghanistan. And I thought that the classroom learning would prepare me for what was in store. I may have had a lot of Afghanistan knowledge, but I quickly learned the classroom and real life are not the same thing. […]
