Navy Sister Graduates; Air Force Sister Reassigned Overseas

On Friday, November 16, my youngest sister, Lydia, graduated from Navy boot camp at Naval Station Great Lakes in North Chicago, IL. She is currently beginning her advanced language studies at the Defense Language Institute on the Presidio of Monterey in Monterey, CA.

My sister Becca, an officer in the U.S. Air Force, is also making a move this week. She has been transferred from her AFB in San Antonio, TX to Ramstein Air Base in Germany. She will be stationed there for the next 2-3 years as an agent in the Air Force Office of Special Investigations.

God's blessings to both of them as they begin new military assignments!
