-You start hearing The Giant Voice in your dreams, or when you are wandering around your house very bored.
-Speaking of dreams, even though you aren't all that interested in airplanes, you start dreaming about your husbands favorite airplane. Because that's all you hear about all day long. And that's really all that goes on at this particular base- pilot training.
-You have an actual excuse to stay inside- it's a Black Flag day! Nevermind that you weren't planning on going outside anyways, or that you aren't active duty personnel.
-At first, it startles you that the policemen on base, Security Forces, walk around with M-16s. Then you think it's kind of cool. Then you don't care anymore.
-You actually know several policemen in town. But this is because they all take shifts at the front gates.
-You are saving a lot of money on groceries because the commissary is so awesomely cheap.
-You drive the speed limit. Always. Don't want to give a reason for M-16 dude to pull you over.
-As you drive by, you wave/smile/nod at pretty much anybody on the road.
-You don't notice anymore when airplanes fly over your house. You do, however, notice when they are NOT flying over because it's eerily quiet.
-No matter how many times you've seen them, the sight of an airplane is always cool. Especially if it's a visiting airplane that isn't normally at your base.
-All the houses look exactly the same. Which is actually cool, because if you go to a friends house, you already know where the bathroom is ;)
-And finally, you know you are living among a bunch of young lieutenant pilots when every other car (well, almost every other car) in your neighborhood is a brand new Ford Mustang. When Matt and I finally get our Mustang, we will be the fifth Mustang, the third black one. Air Force guys all think alike, apparently.
-Every guy looks the same from the back. No, it's really true.
