We are normal folk just like the rest of you all. We go to work in the morning and come back home to our families in the evening. Obviously flying can put us on different schedules but we do have lives besides the AF. The weekends are off (for the most part) and we spend time with family and friends and live just like any other civilian would. We get 30 days of paid vacation a year to go wherever we want.
