He really is there

Quinn hasn't been able to send any pictures of himself home this deployment because of the tightened computer security...but his squadron was in the AF news for flying the 20,000 hour of combat while they have been deployed continuously for the last 5 years. Quinn was the pilot that few the famous flight so he was pictured in the article. here are the the pics

crew and maintainance people
Just the air crew

My capt, boarding the plane, isn't he hansome?

The article talks about how the guys have to get deployed like 3, 4 even 5 times (that will be quinn this fall) and yet they "still have a smile on their faces." Just so you know, its a lie. Everyone is totally over worked, lots of marriages are falling apart etc. They are severly undermanned and have been for the last 5 years and yet the Air Force doen't send new people. Thats the military for ya.

Those pictures are so cool! And that plane is HUGE!!! It's fun that he gets to do something he loves, but sad that he is away from you and the boys so much! But at least you both try to stay positive. I loved this post!

You are an amazing woman, San! I don't know how you do it, but you do it so well. Quinn is really lucky to have you supporting him from home. These pics are great. I bet you are so proud of him. I can't believe it will be 5 deployments this fall! Crazy! It will be great to have him back in a couple weeks though. Yay! Go Quinn!!

Those are some cool pictures...I totally agree with working them to death, marriages falling apart. I don't know about you, but some days it gets tiring knowing that there is not an end in sight. I know that the men here are beyond tired.
