Tobin Family Website

I ran across a new USAF recruiting website the other day.  It is geared to pique the interest of today’s tech savvy high school kids.  I have to admit, it is a pretty cool site.  The theme is “amazing things” that USAF airmen do.  The site provides several videos and pictures of the different types of cool careers that airmen can pursue (interestingly, I didn’t see one of an Acquisition Program Manager negotiating a contract….go figure!).  Despite my disappointment, it is a neat site. 

Also, check out the cool new USAF Memorial being erected on the hill overlooking the Pentagon.  It has three gigantic stainless steel spires (279 feet high) depicting the “bomb-burst” maneuver performed by the USAF Thunderbirds.  It will be a very prominent memorial overlooking the Capital skyline, and will be very impressive at night.  The USAF Memorial will be officially dedicated and presented to the nation at an onsite ceremony at 1:30 p.m., on Saturday, October 14, 2006. We have requested tickets for the ceremony which will feature an aerial review of historic and modern Air Force aircraft, including an appearance by the USAF Thunderbirds.  It will be followed by a free concert by the United States Air Force Band and country singer Lee Ann Womack.
