Air Force

This past week my brother Edward Olsen graduated from the Air Force Basic Training... I am so very proud of him!! He is also a recent Graduate from APSU with a Bachelors in Business.. (yes we almost graduated at the same time... Ha, i still beat him by a semester.) My parents went down to Texas to see him graduate... i wish i could have made it to see him graduate, but with a new baby and living 700 miles away from my parents i couldn't just mooch off the parents and go with them...LOL.. so financially it wasn't possible... but he knows that, and he forgives me for not making it! Eddy sent me a text yesterday and told me that he was on his plane waiting to take off to Mississippi to go to his School, after that, he is off to his first duty station.... we do not know where he is going yet... the parents said that he would love to get stationed in California... lord i hope he does not get stationed in Japan. Regardless, i will visit him even if it is Japan... Richard my older brother is a Marine and he was stationed in San Diego, CA and i went and saw him a couple of times....one of those times, he pretty much said "if you jump out of a plane with me, i will pay for your plane ticket to come up to California." hahaha... i said "what? free vacation and i just have to skydive?? Ok!" so that was an adventure itself!!

So... My grandfather (who i never met) was in the Navy. My dad is in the Army. Richard is a Marine. Edward is in the Air Force. My mom was in the Army as well.... as for me.... your crazy i am not going to basic, yes i am the only Olsen to not join a military service... I almost joined the air force after high school... but i think i made the right decision for my future.


(They look so sharp in their uniforms, i very proud of my little brother!)


(mom and dad, they have been married for FOREVERRRRRRR, they have had their moments, but hopefully i can learn from example... I love them so very much!)
