Noble passed her Final Fitness Evaluation!

Great news from Noble: she passed her fitness evaluation! She completed the requisite with 18 push-ups, 45 sit-ups, and 13:26 runtime for the mile and a half. She completed her written exam with an amazing 99% as well. She's all set to graduate and make her way to Language School!

No word on what language she'll study yet, but she's still gunning for Korean.

Her birthday is in a few days (July 28th) so if you have a second please drop a line and wish her a happy birthday!

The (slightly stale, sorry) latest from Noble

Last I heard from Noble, after she was recycled she passed the follow-up tests and is on schedule, except 2 weeks behind these blog updates. Her flight is being very kind to her and things are stressful, but not terrible. She could still use your support, so please drop her a line and let her know you are thinking of her!

Week Eight - Graduation

--Airmanship and core values
--Formal retreat/Airman's coin ceremony
--Haircuts (for those men again)
--Technical school briefing (or Language school, in my case)
--Commander's departure briefing
--Town pass briefing
--Graduation

This week is also the week I'll be learning what language I'll be studying. I really hope I don't have to pick for myself, otherwise I will be in trouble, because I want to learn so many different languages. (May 1st Edit: I am now desperately hoping that I get assigned Korean. If I get assigned anything else I will be very unhappy.)

This has been a scheduled post.

Now, on with Language school!

This has been a scheduled post.
