Even the spa has an acronym!

During the spouse orientation at the beginning of this training, we received a packet entitled "Air Force as a Second Language." And it couldn't be titled more appropriately! With just a little over 3 months as an Air Force wife, I've become proficient in the language of acronyms. Here's just a sampling of what I've learned so far.

• I've stayed in a VOQ (visiting officer quarters) as well as a TLF (temporary living facility).
• I am currently in Alabama because Daniel is on TDY (temporary duty) to attend ASBC (air and space basic course) which is part of SOC (squadron officer college).
• Next month, Daniel will head out to Colorado for IFS (initial flight screening). Later this year, he'll start UPT (undergraduate pilot training). Since he's a pilot, I'm part of the SSG (student spouses group) and may join the OSC (officers' spouses club).
• And today, I got to have a pregnancy massage at APOHOE (A Piece of Heaven on Earth) spa. It was amazing and I highly recommend any military wife do some searching to see if your base or post has a spa. The prices are great and the service I received was wonderful.
