Well, it has finally begun. Today Clay had his first event out on the flight line. No, he didn't fly today, but he met his 'On-Wing', which in Navy terms means the instructor that Clay will be flying with. The instructor took Clay around and showed him how a typical preflight would take place; from the briefing, to weather, to aircraft issue, as well as preflight. Basically today was the last event before Clay actually gets to strap a plane to his back and go flying (which is supposed to take place sometime in the upcoming week).A couple of nights ago Clay brought his helmet and oxygen mask home and demonstrated it to Laura and CJ. CJ was a little worried that dad had turned into some kind of monster/alien. He was much happier when the helmet and mask came off.
We had some fun earlier today When Laura tried on Clay's flight gear, including the helmet and mask, and strutted around the house Top Gun Style! Also, along with CJ recently learning how to fold his arms for prayer, wave good bye, and clap, he has also learned how to salute. So yes, in that last picture CJ really is saluting of his own accord, even though his facial expression is a little lathargic.
