Last week I got to go observe a missile test launch up at Vandenberg AFB courtesy of the rotation program I'm in at work. I can't tell you a whole lot about it and not because it was classified (because most of it was), but mainly because they really didn't tell us too many details. But what I can do is tell you that they fired off one of these bad boys. During the launch I sat in an observation room with another guy in the rotation program and a Lt. Webb (I think that was her rank) who was in charge of the press release that was to go out the next day. During the two hours of waiting for the countdown to finish, we talked about life on base and typical twenty-something stuff. Awesome.And then there's North Korea over there threatening to do a test launch of one of these not-as-bad boys. While I want nothing of the sort to happen, part of me is excited to get to see our missile defense system in action. After working on this stuff for a year now, it definitely makes watching the news more interesting these days.
Okay, not a very exciting post, nor very humorous. But blame it on my new rotation, which is about as exciting and funny as digging a hole in the ground. Awesome.
