Air Force Time

Air Force Time and Kurt and my time are two very different things (as we have recently discovered). No more than a week ago Kurt wasn't scheduled to leave for basic training (boot camp) for another three or four months. Two days ago we found out that he may be packing up in a month! Though the money that comes from this surprise will be greatly appreciated and well needed, the though of my dear husband leaving is a very scary thought. Last fall we had spoken with his recurter who offered us little detail about the in's and out's of the whole situation and kind of just left it as "time will tell". Then, we didn't know if he'd be leaving sooner or later either, but I had adjusted my thinking and put great effort in preparing myself for being alone for a couple months. Now, it's as if I just found out all over again and it's very VERY scary.

I do, however, feel that now I am in a better place emotionaly and personaly to overcome any hardship that we may encounter, but I enjoy him so much...just knowing that he is home from work is great relief to me at night! I won't have that feeling for months when he leaves and that isn't something I want to think too much about. I know it's his life long goal to join the Air Force and be a part of something big like that, and I know without a doubt that he will succeed and be extraordinary at his job as a soldier, but he will always be my husband-the one person in this world that I trust with my life, and my love. I will forever be greatful and honered to be married to such a wonderful man, but gosh darnit, he better not try to be brave!
