Off we go into the wild, blue yonder...

Today I was able to attend Heather's PROMOTION CEREMONY! I must say, I was pleased to find that the Air Force is a TAD more organized than the Marines (Re: Rob's Last Promotion). But I wouldn't go much farther than a tad. We showed up at the required time, and ended up sitting in a building with no air conditioning (it's 90 outside today) for 90 minutes before the ceremony even began. We kept joking that "It's a good thing it's not super hot and her uniform isn't made of wool, or this would SUCK!" yep. Swealtering. Although I did learn a new tradition the Air Force has. As one of the two people "promoting" Heather, I got to punch her in the arm (???) during the ceremony. All i could think about was how if someone at my office actually hit me in front of everyone, that guy would be fired and I would probably sue.
The military is weird, y'all.
The highlight of the event, however, was watching Heather try to recall the words to the Air Force song as all the newly promoted Airmen were required to face us and sing. I was so proud of P-street's little rockstar. She tried so hard... hahaha (yes, I'm that friend).
