LOL - no - I haven't read your thread in a long time.
The last base W and I were at – my last Squadron commander had been her section commander (kind of an assistant Sq. Comm.). Both units were 500 – 700 people, the Sq. Comm. Did not know my W personally.
I had a very good R with my Sq. Comm. – she was like an older Sister to me, we went to lunch a couple of times and just talked about our careers, lives and the USAF. If I had not been enlisted – we probably could have been even better friends. My Sq. Comm. was the presiding official for my retirement – she knew what I had gone through with exW, and that I had met someone.
I introduced my W (just dating back then) to my Sq. Comm. – she looked at my W and said “I remember you. You’re the cheesecake lady”
At my W’s current base – she is once again known as “The Cheesecake Lady” When people retire out of her section (over 200 people in several different physical locations on the base), or retire that were in her section – they call and ask if she will make them a cheese cake for their retirement.
This has been a turning point to a better M. In 25 years will either of us will remember much about this time? Because in 50 years neither of us will remember much of anything.
