Another Hurdle, Quite Possibly Completed.

Heard from Vandenberg AFB about my Flight Physical. It would appear that I've passed. She was having her supervisor sign off on it the next day after collecting a bunch of signatures, and then it gets sent off to the Surgeon General who takes about 30 days to approve it. So I should know by about mid January the official word, although by all accounts it should be positive. So the wait begins for the real decision, which I won't hear about til most likely early February. Pardon me if I don't sound as enthusiastic as one would think, but around here people are constantly thinking about the worst case scenario, so everyone's quite convinced something will go wrong somewhere along the way. Might as well keep the party hats and kazoos in the closet until the official word comes back.

Seems like I've written a ton, and it's because I have, just not for this post. Alas, all will become apparent soon.
