Since we last wrote, Kalen has finished his academic block of Air Battle Manager training, this was the first big section of his training. While waiting for his second block of training to begin, Kalen has been spending a lot of time golfing and working out as well as expanding his horizons on YouTube...oh, and doing a little work at his training squadron! The last weekend in June Kalen was able to take a day of leave and head up to Montgomery, Alabama to visit Jenna at ASBC. Again, he was able to work on his golf swing while Jenna was in class! He will begin his next block of training on July 20th, he will be learning how to direct fighter aircraft! This will hopefully include a ride on a F-15 Eagle (fighter airplane)!
Jenna is still at ASBC (Air and Space Basic Course) at the Air University in Montgomery, Alabama. She spent her first week in the field, at a facility that simulates a deployed environment. Even getting issued a M-4 (weapon)! However, the last few weeks have been spent in class at the college learning about theory, doctrine, operations and strategy of the Air Force. She only has two more weeks, one including a large test and another in the field.
After ASBC, Jenna will be heading up to Oklahoma City to begin work in the 552nd Maintenance Operations Squadron. This squadron supports the AWACS, the planes Kalen will soon be flying on! Jenna will spend 6 weeks in Oklahoma before heading to Wichita Falls, Texas for more school!
Again, we hope everyone had a great Fourth of July!!
