The Awesome Airman Mom and Squid Dad

I’m not a very good friend - I suck at it really. Case in point…


(Studly Hungwell, Judy Hungwell, Theresa and Matt)

Judy and I had the great fortune and opportunity to meet one of my favorite blogging ladies and her husband. Airman Mom has been a blogging friend and follower for a couple of years now. She is the sweetest lady and mom of two boys who are in the Air Force and two daughters who are her heart. Well, all of them are her heart. And that heart is worn on her sleeve as she does so much for our guys and gals in uniform. She even goes to her airport to greet incoming flights from the rock pile and sand pit.

She and her husband, Matt, were in town adding to her bucket list of visiting every major league baseball park where she can show off her O’s jersey (Matt is a Nationals and Pirate (or Phillies) fan - opposites do attract I guess.) After breakfast they were heading to Charleston for Matt’s Navy reunion. He was a ‘Nuker’ on a submarine and was looking forward to seeing some of his pals he hasn’t seen since the 80’s.

Wonderful people and I diss them by waiting four days before writing about it. I can hear y’all mumbling out there and imagine the looks of disgust on your faces. I feel the same way. I have been jabbing broken glass into my legs for hours now in contrition.

But I promise to not be so neglectful with the next peeps I meet, if you ever come back here again. I just had a few things on my mind and some stupid stuff to post. No excuse! Just is!

Love ya, Airman Mom and Airman (Squid) Dad. Come back, please! We’ll show you a good time in and around the ATL.

Sorrowfully humble, Coffey Pot!

Sub Service Anniversary

Today is the 110 anniversary of our Submarine Force.

So if you know any 'Squids' or former 'Squids', give them a shout and tell them you appreciate what they have done for your country.

I know that Airman Mom's and Pamela's over at The Dust Will Wait husbands were submariners, so to you two guys, thanks for your long days and nights without sun or stars and for keeping the seas safe.

GO NAVY

A Warrior’s Song

Y’all go here, Airman Mom’s site and watch the video.

Airman mom is a gracious, loving, patriotic mother of two Air Force sons and she supports our American military community tirelessly.

I posted and/or sent this vieo out in one of my emails a while back, but it deserves to be seen again - and often.

God bless the USA and people like Airman Mom.

Go on now. Go visit her and start following her, too. You will be glad you did.

You back now? Good!



This is Airman Mom with her husband (a Submariner) and Mike (known to those who know him as Chief - and, no. his is not an Indian. He is a Chief Master Sergeant in the US Air Force)

Now go back and look at her previous post about Chief…she introduce me to him a several months ago and he was one of my milsupport guys who took what little I sent him (except the Peanut M&M’s) and passed them out to his Air Force dudes and duddetts imbedded with Army units all over Iraq.

He is truly a class act and he will be retiring with close to 3,000 years of service to the AF and the USA. I see him leaving, kicking and screaming, into a world where he will have to get a job and suffer like the rest of us. Poor guy.

Love ya, AM, and Thanks for what you do.
