Looking for some hot STUFF!!!




So not only do we have endure warm to hot tempratures around here (90 - 112) they also thought it was a good idea we got to play with fire...you know what they say about playing with fire right?
We had a safety training day and it actually for once was not the same boring lectures and death by power point, but rather some hands on. They certified us on how to use fire extinguishers and also how to prevent fires in the home. It was nice to have some action.

What we did this Summer


So I was reading KSL the other day and I looked at pictures of people and 'what they did this summer'. Now while going to the planes of Africa is great I bet we have done more 'exciting things than they have....
We BBQ ed. We played sand volleyball and had different leagues so much cooler than back home.
Actually we really had a lot of fun especially since my team beat Justins' team in the play offs.
We play with our weapons,clean them, practice with them and fly around with them.
Best of all we get to fly around in the best helicopter in the world the Blackhawk. So that is what we have got to do this Summer how about you?

An Average Day

A lot of people ask what we do day to day around here so I have put a few photos together to give you a glimpse......

We let our passengers know what helicopter to get in and make sure we are sexy doing it.
We promote our awesome friends.
sometimes are Battalion formations take a little long but it comes with the job.

We take corny pictures of ourselves flying.

We run out and tie down the helicopters in a sandstorn this happens at least once every other week. Come on weather dude you can predict sandstorms better than when they hit right???

Most of my days are spent here at my desk being a paperwork pusher but every now and then they let me out of my cage to fly. Justin is in the flight company and spends most of his time flying.

Every once in a while you can catch us dancing together don't tell our leaders this they might think we are actually having fun out here. By the way Justin is a fantastic dancer.

We wash helicopers this is one of my favorite things to do. Justin enjoys towing them nore than washing them, but in this heat a spray of water feels good.


I hope this lets you in of a little of what we do. I have enjoyed some of my time here and I am very blessed to have my husband here. We are not the only married ones here though. We should be renamed the love battalion. We have six married couples now. Three we started out with in the beginning of the deployment and the other three have been married since the deploment. It must be the water or air around here 'love is in the air'

Take me out to the ball game!!!!


So Justin and I were able to fly together which was fantastic and rare. It always makes the flight great. Plus he is really great at his job. Well we were able to fly some retired Baseball stars (most were Yankees) and they were just so polite and greatful that it was nice compared to our regular customers. They were really excited and enthusiastic to be here. They thought we were very cool ..... so I guess its not just us after all huh!
