She has not been assigned it yet, in a couple months they have what's called a "Drop Ceremony" It is a informal event where all the pilots get together have beers and get there planes,. She wants to fly heavy planes with a crew so most likely a C17 

 
My Daughter had her Drop Ceremony last week. At the beginning of their training they give a list from 1-10 of the planes they would want to fly.  Depending how good you during training  can determine what you will fly.

Marlene's first choice was the C-17  And she got it! 

This Video is the actual moment she found out and really had no idea what it would be.

This day was pretty much the day she has worked for and will determine her career.. She worked so hard for this day. I get a tear every time I watch it.

Thanks guys!

Well because it's easier 😂. Fighter jets are constant training and updating and she is not a fan of high G's . On a heavy there is a crew and she is very sociable.

It will be cool to watch the next journey, she is off to Ok for 5 months to train and fly the C17 then she will be stationed in Charleston SC for a couple years where they will buy another house.

She sends mye extra patches when she's done with them  can't wait to add to the collection 😁

These were some pics when we went for her graduation.  She was able to get me into the simulator rooms and fly.. I only crash landed 2 out of 3 times :lol:
