Well, I have finished with two flights in the F-22A Raptor...and let me just say, you all are getting your money worth. It is a pretty sweet jet and is very overwhelming in terms of how different it is from "older" jets. My first flight was pretty unique because my old squadron, the 19th FS, is down here at Tyndall on a deployment. So, on taxi back I saw a few old friends in their F-15Cs along with driving past the 19th Flagship on the ramp. It was just a strange feeling to have the exact jets I flew right there next to me even though I am in Florida. Anyway, the jet is great and I am looking forward to learning more every day with it.
Crystal and the kids are doing good and enjoying the beach. We have started Trinity in a homeschooling Pre-K program that is going great. She and Crystal really enjoy they're "school time" during the day. Jack is the same crazy little man and is getting more personality by the day. It is great to have them here, but it's a little tough to not have the usual Alaska network of friends around.
Gator football is around the corner!!! We'll get some new pictures posted soon.

Something about Mr. Wooster
Well...
I just found out about the passing of a real close family friend, Mr Fred Wooster, @ 73 years of age, and feel that I need to write something about the uplifting impact he had on my life. He was a man that had a real part in why this blog is named "Quiet Place." Back when my Grandfather had this plot of land called "Quiet Place," we always had some huge family/friend gatherings that were nothing but fun memories (ones that last a lifetime). The friend he planned these with was Mr. Wooster.
This guy was one of the most sincere & nicest men I have ever met. He had this handsomely gruff look to him that just made his humor and smile come through with an amazing originality. He was really the type of guy you want on your side and that you want to learn from each and every day. Sounds a bunch like my Grandfather...which is why I probably respected him so much. His family is really amazing and I hope we get to cross paths in the future. He was a real fighter and battled a fierce uphill fight as of late. I think God really had a hard time pulling such a great person away from so many loved ones, but I know that Mr. Wooster was needed. It's a great feeling to know that Mr. Wooster is looking down with a smile seeing how many people he touched in such a positive way. Thank you Mr. Wooster and we'll be seeing you again!
