DIS Dads DDC XXVI: They all went to the DDCC and all we got was this Lousy Thread!

[disdadIL]

Howdy fellow dads, hope all is well, haven't been on a lot this week, from being sick and other things going on right now, not bad things though. I'm trying to get back in the dating game, I think I have given enough time for DD to adjust to the change of being with me full time. I love DD with all my heart and soul but I feel it's time to let someone else in too

Amen. Happy hunting.

I am up for a Take the kid to swimming, head down to my folks place to take in their mail (while they are away for the winter), come home clean the house, cook dinner as I have SIL coming over...

Then after dinner... hopefully do nothing, and watch OUAT

Bummer. I'm on do nothing time. OUAT is a repeat

 

[moose615]

Again, thanks for the continued prayers and well wishes, Guys. It's really appreciated!

Prayers for your DW Mike. And who's the 12 year old standing next to David?

I don't know. I looked through the photos of this year's enlisted team members and saw 1 person who it could possibly be. Members from other shops act as "mechs"; they help out with the launches/recoveries and perform jet maintenance. They are usually from the paint shop; avionics shop; power plants shop; etc. There are usually 2 mechs for a launch and 1 for a recovery. Keep in mind, David is about 6'3" or 6'4" so a lot of members look quite a bit shorter than him! I'll have to ask him who it is when he calls next time. If we do get to go out to El Centro in March, maybe we'll get to meet the "mystery mech"!

I like that. Can DS handle it when a five year old girl he doesn't know gives him hugs?

I don't think he would mind, after all he's having his party at WDW

 

[Disney Commando]

Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers! We did see the new neurologist and my DW is scheduled to have some more tests done. The new doctor is also of the opinion that all of this neuropathy may not be caused by the tumor/surgery but possibly something else, like Lyme Disease. Hopefully, she'll help us get to the bottom of this.


Here is our first Blue Angels pic of 2013. David is on the right, waiting for Boss to leave the cockpit after a flight. Things are going well in El Centro and we are still hopeful that we will be able to make a trip out there in March for the first airshow of the season.
There are tons of great Blue Angels pics on their FB page. Check it out and give them a Like! Thanks!

Hope your wife gets well soon, prayers going out

It's great to see your son doing well and loves his job, It's definitely a PROUD DAD moment

Here is a YouTube link to a Blue Angels practice video from 1/26/2013 in El Centro. You can hear the control tower giving Boss the all clear for take-off as well as Boss giving commands to the pilots (it sounds like he is singing). Boss is David's pilot in the #1 jet. Typically, the pilots will fly 3 times per day, 6 days per week in El Centro to get ready for the 1st airshow of the season on March 16th. The 1-4 jets take-off first followed a few minutes later by the 5 and 6 (the "solo" jets). Boss can be heard giving commands like, "Smoke on"; "Here we go"; "Up we go"; "A little power"; "Even more power"; "A little pull"; "Smoke off"; etc. When someone is going up for a "ride", the two-seat #7 jet sneaks into the lineup. And, if a jet is down for some reason, you might see something like 2 #4 jets or 2 #6 jets instead of the normal 1-4 and 5-6. Things are still early on in training so the formations aren't as tight as they would be during the show season and the 5 and 6 jets don't always take-off together.

They should play that a game of touch or flag football and make it interesting.
