I will start on the note that I am not much of a blogger... I am taking this opportunity to attempt keeping our friends and dear family current on the goings on of Jeff and Caitlin Copeland.
Jeff started Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training (SUPT) in September '08. Since then he has completed Phase I which is purely academics and 'physiology'. Phase II began in late October and this was the time that all of the books got to be put to use finally. After a 'dollar-ride' in the T-6 Texan II, the intensity began. Shortly after, Jeff was flying formation and now he is 'T-6 Complete'. This is a huge milestone! On 01 April, we'll find out what trainer plane Jeff will fly next. The top of this list has a T-44 Pegasus which is a trainer that the Navy uses and we will have to move to Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, TX to complete the rest of SUPT. His next two choices are the T-38 which would continue his training on the fighter plane track, or the T-1, which would send his training in a heavy/cargo plane direction.
So needless to say, this will be a very big night for us. Thankfully, Jeff's Mom and Dad, Win and Susan, will be able to spend the week with us! We can't wait to have them. It's been a long time since Christmas and it will be great to have the support of family.
This semester is almost done for me now, at East Mississippi Community College. I feel like my Associates is just around the corner! Spring break just ended and I'm eager to tackle the next and the last five weeks of school.
Dax and Penny are, as usual, keeping the two of us very entertained. They are absolute nuts!
We've been so blessed to be in Columbus, MS. God has brought so many wonderful friends into our lives and He always knows just what we need, when we need it. We are so thankful!
As par, we are always ready for visitors! We miss and love everyone!
