How I got here

I'm here!

I have a lot to say and I'll probably forget to mention a lot of things in this first post, but I'll try to add things in as I think of them. 

For those who aren't fully versed on the path that led up to this whole adventure, I'll start from the beginning.  My family has a family friend, named Rik Heslehurst, who is a professor at the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA), and who also works for my father on a regular basis.  He is taking a year off from teaching his classes this year, and he was familiar with my history of teaching at the US Air Force Academy (USAFA), so in Februrary he contacted me with the possibility of coming out for a year to take on his classes.


I accepted the offer on about the 20th of April, and it's now June 4th and I went to work at ADFA today.  Needless to say, it's been a whirlwind of a month or two.

I got a leave of absence from Raytheon, which was unexpected but welcome.  I still don't know how things are going to work out here, it's possible this will turn into more of a long term job, but it's too early to tell.  If things don't work out, I could, theoretically, go back to Raytheon.
