2 years ago, we were living in Corpus Christi, TX (ick!). This is where we first met Mr. Zumbusch, who we just affectionately came to call Busch. Jordan and Busch shared an on-wing instructor during their time at primary flight school. During our 8 months at Corpus, we became fast friends. Busch would often times randomly show up on my couch, Gunnar (or just "Bubba" as Busch called him) sprawled across his lap, with Law and Order SVU on the tv. I would come home and plop down on the couch with Busch and Bubba, as we waited for Jordan to return from his flight (which was second to Busch's with their on-wing instructor).
2 years later, after 2 selections,
for first flight platform and then helicopter type, these two are now in the fleet. Not only that, but they are now both stationed in Hawaii, and yesterday, for the first time, flew as REAL wingmen.
This was such a special (and cute!) moment. These two have come so far, and I loved that these two great friends will now fly in the real Marine Corps as wingmen, having eachother's back.

Sometimes keeping it short and sweet is best, right? And how sweet (and adorable) it is!
Until next time...
