As long as we’re on the subject of proud parents and sons in the Military; this Friday, Brother Eric Itzenhuiser (PMC Racine Chapter and Chev.) receives his promotion to Airman 1st Class.

Eric is currently stationed at Dyess AFB near Abilene, Texas. He is part of the 7th Bomb Wing, 7th Mission Support Group.

And even though he is now whining about how cold it’s getting in Texas, it’s still warmer than SE Wisconsin.

Dad Itz,

Tell him that if he doesn't like the weather in Texas hang around for a day or so and it will change. It's just one of the crosses we bear here in the Lone Star State.

Hey,

Just remind him he COULD be serving in Adak, Alaska, if he wants to experience REAL COLD!!!


Or the AF could send him to Thule AFB, Greenland (such a nice tropical place to visit in January). Been there, done that.

PS For those who don't want to Google it, Thule AFB is 947 miles south of the North Pole and over 500 miles north of the Arctic Circle. Santa shops there.
