So I haven't posted in a while and Jillian says I need to post again. So I'll do some updates.
Started a math class through Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University a few weeks ago. It's pretty much a combination of trigonometry and calculus that have applications in aviation. If I had taken this class directly after high school, it probably would have been incredibly easier. Not to say it's hard now, but it took a while to pull some it out of the back of my head and re-learn it. I am, however, doing extremely well as of now, with a 94.5% and 100% on my first two tests. I'm also over a week ahead in class, which leaves me free to trouble about the country, should I ever need to.
Still taking part in crossfit as well. Unfortunately, I haven't stepped up past the fundamentals classes, but that's soon to change. They recently revamped the fundamentals class to cover more of the exercises used, in a much shorter amount of time. I'm looking forward to stepping up to an actual class later this week, or early next week. Just a matter of which one I want to go to. Thinking earlier morning will be best since the temps are now starting to hit triple digits (summer is going to be extremely hot!).
We are now more than 1/3 of the way through this tour (ask Jillian and I'm sure she would LOVE to tell you the exact percentage), and things are picking up. More missions, more places for my teams to go, and that means more planning on our end. We've accomplished a lot here so far, and really have streamlined a lot of systems and have made things much more efficient.
One of these days I'll take some pictures. I just have to remember too. Hopefully I'll get a chance to visit a few more of my teams and go back to Salerno, where I was stationed in 2006-2007.
I hope everyone is doing well!
