I agreed to be one of the hostages and we were doing the training in an old house on base that had a crosstie flowerbed all the way around it. My boss came into my office and asked if I wanted some overtime, they needed some volunteers, so the team could do some hostage training. His field name was Killer, I wasn’t going to date a player (or so I thought ever again) or have them around my daughter. My boss was also one of my friends dad and said yes she is stay away from her….he got to where he drove me crazy for months and I gave him zero attention, blew him off. then looked at me and said I see you have a pretty new secretary. My boss came out of his office to welcome my husband back home and he said thanks.

The first time I saw him I thought been there done that…he was so handsome and ripped muscle. He was taking a civilian job and he was also offered rhe position as the Commander for our civilian Special Reaction Team which came out of the office where I worked. He was getting out of the military because he had sole custody of his son and didn’t want to leave him. I had worked at my new job for almost a year when he came back out of theater. I’m going to tell you the story now girls….J-Girls this is classic Tracie….So my first husband and I were HS sweethearts, classic small town varsity cheerleader and he was the star baseball pitcher…he was handsome….well you girls know how that turned out….I had started a new job and I heard about my husband, but he was on a deployment so I never met him.
