This web site has been established so our friends and family can keep up with us even when we have been "re-deployed."
Est. 26 October 1998
Last updated 2 December 2006

On this home page, we'll introduce ourselves and give you a bit of information about what we are currently up to. This website has not been updated in over two years, and a lot has happened since then. So bare with us as we update this website page by page, as we manage to find a little bit a time in between our busy lives. Thanks for being there with us all these years! HOOAH!

Current Unit: 4/6 Air Cav Squadron (ACS)

CURRENTLY: “I’m currently the medical section leader for the 4/6. I know, you never expected me to ever leave my last unit but it was time for a change and I needed leadership time so here I am in the cold state of Washington. Perhaps in the future I will go back and serve once again with the men and women at FTKY, but until then I am a proud member of the Cav. When I am not working or doing something with family and friends, I love to squeeze in a few games of paintball or have a night of destroying my fellow Star Wars junkies in a few games of RPG. SO---> if you are in the area, email me! I am always up for throwing paint or rolling the dice!”

 

So who is Jamie?

Jamie is a Military Wife Extraordinaire, college student, full-time manager and Proud Pagan Parent!
Aquarius: born in Wyandotte, MI in the year of the Snake.
Hometown: Brownstown Twp., MI.
Current job: Manager for an NAF government agency
HISTORY: Let's see... at one time or another in my adult life I have done "wayyyyy too much!" So if you think you might know me from somewhere here are some of the things I used to be really active in, but life has a way of changing your course, and now I no longer participate in. At one time I was a cadet in the ROTC Program at Central Michigan University and then at ASPU, but I had to leave after DJ was born because Jim and I did not want to be dual military. I then discovered scrapbooking and became a DOTS/CTMH® Independent Consultant. I was successful for about 2 years but 9-11-01 killed my business (being mostly military folks and the base being on lock down for 3 months!) so I decided to retire. Throughout all that time I was an avid volunteer in the Ft. Campbell Mayoral Program, AFTB, FRG, Military Pagan Network, Pagan Pride Day, and so many more great organizations! I graduated from at Austin Peay State University with an AAS in Police Science & Administration in Dec 2001 and again in Dec 2005 with a BS in Professional Studies (Public Management & Admin). And of course I am not finished yet, I am eight classes from completing my BS in Criminal Justice with an emphasis in Homeland Security; however now I have to do it remotely from the internet since we moved away from FTCKY. Anyways, at one point I even earned my EMT-Basic at Henry Ford Community College in Michigan! So needless to say, I’ve done a lot and there is still so much more that I want to do!
CURRENTLY: I am a manager of the loss prevention department for a government non-profit (NAF) agency and even though I still have a lot to learn, I am enjoying myself. The hours are long and the pay certainly sucks but I am earning the much needed experience that I need post-graduation in order to build a solid foundation for whatever career comes my way.
Hobbies: I love
scrapbooking, crafts, building our web site, board games and making magickally mundane crafts! And of course, like my husband I am a geek so I RPG when I have the time and I LOVE paintball!
