I made arrangements to see Mike in his new house over Thanksgiving and let him know by texting him on his cell. He finally replied at 10:20 my time 9:20 his. He had been working for 14 hours and still had about 2 hours. I'm really afraid that he going to burn out. He is the legal officer, NATOPS officer and acting Safety Officer. He is also the CACO (fortunately he has never had to do anything with that other than training). Oh,.... and I forgot, he is still flying. I can't imagine when they start the work ups. Mike didn't have to wait much to class up either. The longest wait was from OCS to IFS. He graduated OCS in November and did IFS in Feb and classed up for API within a week or two. Primary was about 3 weeks and Advanced was just as quick and then out to Lemoore. I really can't imagine him being any busier than he is right now. At least on Dec 1, he will have his LT rank and won't feel like the low man as much. What he finds really hard is that he is the lowest rank but has to tread real easy when it comes to doing his desk jobs.

Hi AH! Tell me about Broomfield....that's where you live, right?
My husband's company is moving to downtown Denver so we might
look in your town. My son is starting IFS on June 1st in P'cola.

Thanks for the info! Tell me what neighborhoods to look at in Broomfield.
The company is moving from DTC to downtown so it's not really a new company to Denver. How long would the commute be? Are there any nice neighborhoods with snow capped mountain views?
