<p>Great weekend with ze parentals! 
Hard to believe I only have ONE more!</p>
<p>only 16 days til Parents Weekend!</p>
<p>lolā¦ oh yeah. too bad its only a 2-day weekend and i have to use one of my 4 weekend passes for it! should still be fun</p>
<p>We never made it to the Visitors Center or to Arnold Hall to get the warrior photosā¦hopefully they will be mailed. It was awesome to spend time with our cadet and to see the classrooms. The game was fantastic and I loved meeting some CCāers who have to remain nameless I guess, due to confidentiality. It was great! I felt sorry for all the pushups that had to be done, but hope they have to do many, many more this season. Hope all the family members had ( are having) safe trips home and the cadets hold wonderful memories of family time. It was all outstanding. I have a funny story, but have to ask our C4C if she minds if I tell it. Our best to all in your wait for Thanksgiving.</p>
<p>It was funny having my parents sitting right behind you. 
Stranger for me to hear, āhornetguy?ā as I sit down behind you! :)</p>
<p>Parentās weekend was amazing. It was the first time since the end of June that all 4 of us (DH, twin A & B, and me!) were together. The game was fantastic and the time with my cadet was wonderful. The Comp Sci class was very good and I was amazed at how much Arabic has been learned in just a few weeks! But the most amazing part was how neat and put together her room was. I didnāt think something like that would ever be possible! We will be attending the Navy game next month and I can hardly wait!</p>
<p>Go Air Force Beat Navyā¦Hide Eagle PW was very nice. The tailgates are always fun. I was sitting at the game and a couple of older grads asked āwhere is Southern Utah from?ā I told them about a 100 miles east of Vegas near St George, and it is more of a community college. The score at the end of the game proved me correct.</p>
<p>Buckarooā¦Potter was looking for you to trade shoulder boards but couldnāt find you. She did find missmuff though. </p>
<p>We finished the weekend by bringing Korean food back to out favorite Cadet Commander āDuckphreakā I hope her room doesnāt smell too bad today.</p>
<p>lol, I talked to Duckphreak at the tailgate and she was sad not to have seen you during the tailgate. Well, sadās not really a reaction I can see her having, but you know! lol</p>
<p>Hornetguy was on duty on Saturday! It was great, and somehow I just KNEW it was youā¦ too bad the real cadet was on push up duty and couldnāt say hey. Eagle, how is Navy? Can you get us intel for the game??</p>
<p>I saw her later in the game, but not before! Itās alright though, I got some shoulderboards!</p>
<p>one month til the Navy game! i canāt wait, cause USAFA is flying us back for the āprisoner exchangeā. should be an intersting week leading up to the game tooā¦</p>
<p>as for their team, their QB was out, and the back-up did well. they played a little team too, but Shun White (#26) ran for over 350 yards, breaking Navyās single-game rushing record. they never threw (other than 1 nice option-fake pass over the center of the field), so if we can shut down the run, we should be good.</p>
<p>on defense, they stuffed the run but were lousy against the pass. itāll be a great game. i canāt wait to return to USAFA, even if it is just for a weekend</p>
<p>One of our three digs got a one star general shoulderboard. I personally was a āCadet Technical Captainā for the weekend. I even got greeted on the Terrazo by someone who thought we had to be on the strips once again. Its weird being called sir.</p>
<p>cadet technical captain, nice!</p>
<p>lolā¦ i was a simple cadet tech sgt :(</p>
<p>Fencersmother is back in Steeler Country but missing her 4*'s. They looked great and it was nice to see a couple of CCers there too. Some I missed (MISSMUFF!, Buckaroo!), and some of you- we probably sat next to you at the game and didnāt realize it.</p>
<p>Surprising observations: I had not realized just how HUGE those dorms are. Gigantic! I forget just how spread out the campus is. If Twin who lives in the far SW corner of Sijan forgets something for fencing, it is really a long way to fetch it and return to the gym.
We loved the many first downs AF had during the game - thatās pretty intimidating for the opposition, Iām sure. We laughed at the āYou Canāt Do That!ā cheer too. I wish we lived closer; weād go to ALL the games.
I was really impressed by all the parents and cadets we met. What a great group of people. One cadet had her 7 little siblings with her, including a baby sis who was born June 1st! </p>
<p>Fencers family had a blast! Now, fencersdaughter thinks she wants AFA too! (Look out world!)</p>
<p>i ended up as a cadet Senior master sergeant major! that was pretty fun! but i got sunburnt! oh well, it was worth it!</p>
<p>I know I am replying late on this, but PW rocked! Miss Muff, I think I spotted you at the pre-game tailgate, but you were on a cell phone and didnāt want you to get nervous about the older guy standing around (bwahaha). Besides, I had to get back to the CS-23 grill so I could have some Brats.</p>
<p>BTW on Friday I fell asleep in Calculus - reminded me of my good old undergraduate days.</p>
<p>I thought the Falcon display at halftime was very cool.</p>
<p>Well, enough randomness. I hope you all are doing well.</p>
<p>SD</p>
<p>Addendumā¦</p>
<p>My brain isnāt firing on all cylinders yet and I wanted to add a question and an observation in addition to the above post.</p>
<p>Observation:</p>
<p>We went to Batman on Saturday night and there were probably 20 other cadets and their families there. And this was in the theater on the south side of town. </p>
<p>Question</p>
<p>Muff: Did you see Mama Mia? Did you sing?</p>
<p>Soaring Dad - MissMuff is gone for the weekend, I had to chime in.
When we could stop laughing hysterically, we sang. Loudly. Until the final credits rolled. Without a doubt that was the worst movie ever made. Also one of the most fun, but only if youāre a die hard ABBA fan.</p>
<p>After the football game Potter and I headed back to Denver. We stopped for a steak at the Traildust Steahouse. My father used to take me there as a kid. In the parking lot there was another cadet changing from Parade Dress (Drum & Bugle Corps). We looked closer and it was one of her squadmates from last year. </p>
<p>It was nice meeting Falcons11, Missmuff, G4C, Hornet, Flymom and Daughter. Good times The football game was great, and the guys behind me asked where is SUU from. I told them about 100 miles east of Vegas, but it was more of a Community College. The score told the rest of the story.</p>
<p>Today we say Go Falcons beat the Cowboys. Christcorp might find this a fun game.</p>
<p>Nice win for AF today.</p>
<p>ds52262,</p>
<p>It was SO great to finally meet you and potter in person! Thanks for finding us! </p>
<p>We had a wonderful PWā¦that is, up until my son decided he wanted to have an inside look at Memorial Hospital! A few stitches later and he was good to go! āWonderful hospital by the way! (He took a fall OFF of Pikes Peak, and Iām not kidding) Heās very lucky is all I can say. </p>
<p>We loved the flight simulator and attending classes. The teachers seem so very nice and approachable.</p>
<p>D even took her dad hiking up Eagleās Peak on Sunday morning! And then we thoroughly enjoyed seeing Jackās Valley! </p>
<p>We loved the Colorado coolness. Weāre back home in the miserable humidity now.</p>
<p>D absolutely loves USAFA. Iāve never seen her more happy.</p>
<p>Now we count down to Thanksgivingā¦</p>
