Squadron Open House




So, Glen's squadron had an open house this weekend (since as you can tell it is a controlled area). It gave all the families a chances to see where their service member works. This is the first time the kids got to see Daddy's office and the jet that he works on. This was the closest we could take a picture (I had to be outside of the fence) and we could take pictures outside the jet, but we couldn't have cameras or cell phones on the jet which would mean that one of us couldn't tour the jet (which wouldn't have worked either because we had to be escorted by our service member), so this is the best that you get. The kids were very excited. The got to go through a mock briefing where Glen's commander spoke to them and showed them a power point presentation some of the things that their parents do at work. The also got to sit in the cockpit of the jet he works on and see some of the equipment he works on. They were pretty impressed. I can't believe how much room all of that stuff takes up. Doesn't leave too much room for people with it. But anyway, Glen had fun showing us around and explaining what little he was allowed (which was pretty much just this is the front of the jet and this is the back). It was really nice of the squadron to go through all of the work it took so that we were allowed in. Oh and here is a cute picture of Jeremiah. He liked to climb inside Glen's suitcase when he got back from his TDY and just sit in it. Its kind of blurry because my phone doesn't have a flash.
