Farewell!



Last night, Kyle and I were farewelled from his current unit. A lot of the original team that was here when we got here is almost all gone so it is a good time to transition and move on.

He will still be with them through the end of the month but then it is off to his new job. It will be a welcome change after 12 months of being in the field for 2 1/2 weeks per month. He will still work long days but he will get to come home at night.

He has been given a lot of plaques through his almost 9 year career but this one is by far my favorite. Each of the tiny posters in the middle represent each of the rotations that he has been a part of. (We will ignore the fact that the year and type of airborne wings is wrong lol, our friend is going to fix it.) 


We will definitely miss the people he works with but thankfully he will get to still interact with some of them on a daily basis.

Here is to the next adventure!

  1. I always love farewell gifts, and the thought put into them. I don't think John has any plaques like this, but he's certainly received some unique gifts. Yay for nights at home!

  13. Very cool farewell plaque! C's gift from his last squadron got the year wrong too. But he's not really complaining because they weren't consistent on farewell gifts at that squadron and he's lucky the flight chief cared enough to make sure he got one.

  18. I like the plaque! Mac should be getting a new one next month, and I'm curious to see how an infantry unit does them.
