Rory,

I hope this email finds you well. Just thought I’d send an email along 
with an update on my status.

Things are going very well for me. I’ve been stationed at Brooks City 
Base in San Antonio, TX. I’m slated to move to Wright-Patterson AFB in 
Dayton Ohio in the next few years. I currently run the AF 
Radioanalytical Lab. We process all manner of sample matrices-soil, 
water, swipes, biological… It’s been interesting learning about 
radiochemistry brushing up on nuclear and atomic physics, and learning 
new analytical methods like ICP-MS. The other part of my job is as the 
Team Chief for the Air Force Radiation Assessment Team (AFRAT). We are 
the DoD’s radiation health experts, and this means I’ve picked up a lot 
of health physics. AFRAT responds to any incident involving radiological 
hazards like a Broken Arrow, RDD, nuclear detonation, and so on.

Here‘s a story about one of my many training missions -

Jen is pregnant and we are expecting the child in early April.

I’m really happy in the Air Force, at least for now. I’ve got several 
interesting opportunities ranging from training as the AF version of an 
Industrial Hygienist to Combat Rescue. My current job running a 
production lab has been incredibly interesting.

How are things on your end? And PrimEx? I see that the target paper was 
published. Anything else in the works?
