Emily Hamlin wrote: “I feel like a world traveler these last couple months. Among the highlights: getting to participate in the Morgan Weed fandom and see her Broadway debut and connect with Alyssa Briody and adorably pregnant Katie Weber on a layover in New York from Costa Rica to Jordan. And then, returning home from that work trip to find one Allison Marshall waiting for me in CR! I wish we’d been able to capture a photo of Allison desperately trying to hoist me from the water back into our raft on the Pacuare River while we laughed so hard we could barely breathe. Oh well...some images are best left in our minds. : )”

I have been conducting flight test on the F-16, F-22, and brand-new F-35. Additionally, I have been selected to represent the Air Force as an astronaut nominee! I am one of approximately forty officers considered highly-qualified. NASA typically selects only one officer in the group to complete astronaut training, and the competition is tough. I am thrilled to have made it this far and remain hopeful for some good news (either this selection cycle or in the future)!” FALL 2016
