The official word from the Air Force is: no.
We are disappointed, but it was 50% expected so we’re thankfully not dealing with the crushing blow that it was last time around. We both were very much excited about the idea and the prospect of a new adventure. Especially moving and traveling. And Josh is [...]

Word from the AF

The only “word” we’ve heard is they moved back the announcement date. It was set for the 18th, last Monday. Now it’s the 29th, a week from yesterday. Perhaps we’ll know something then. Or perhaps they will change their minds again. Happy Memorial Weekend!

Here is the rundown in this order – faulty test (January 2006), current test (Sept. 2008), Air Force qualifying numbers:
Thoracic Spine: 5 degrees; 2 degrees; cannot exceed 20 degrees
Lumbar Spine: 9 [...]
Back X-Ray

This morning Josh is planning to have his back x-rayed; the third time in relation to his original military disqualifying x-ray. He is visiting the same clinic that has done the previous two tests – one disqualifying him and one saying he was well within the clear zone. Today’s test will hopefully be the clear answer to [...]
