Best - Bose Speaker
Worst - The wallet I bought myself I hate it already. I will find a new one.

My nephew and niece had it the best. They got a ceramic wheel and kiln and a gas powered go kart.

Best: New 3-burner Weber Grill
Worst: Workout Shirt

But, everything was on my list, so "worst" is relative.

I don't really have a best/worst, as I got next to nothing. That's OK, b/c it's my money! I'd rather spend it on wife/kids. So... best/worst gifts I've given...

Best - Bought my wife plane tickets to Florida with her sister in law.
Worst - Some dumb ass electronic dog for my daughter. What a waste of money this shit is.

Yep. Now at Travis afb, just north of San Francisco. Very happy to be out of Texas though. Only here for 13 months, then off to somewhere else.

Nice hopefully they get you overseas. Is it you or your wife in the AF (or both)? What is the field of work?

My wife. She was in a top secret communications squadron but we went to Texas so she could go to Physician Assistant school, she graduated and now we are at Travis for her to go through her residency. We want overseas but we "technically" came stateside from overseas (hawaii) and it'd very hard to get another overseas assignment as an officer. We will continue to try though. We want to be in Europe or Japan, badly.

My father was stationed overseas as an officer 3x fwiw.

Worst: Collector's Edition Cincinnati Reds Nutcracker Bobblehead (but I think it was a throw in gift as my wife ordered 4 Reds tickets for a game of my choice)

Best: UA pullover that I really liked.

Well hopefully we get that luck. Was it from one to another, or did he come stateside then go back? Because that seems to be the problem usually. Luckily she's medical now so that literally means every single base is an option.

Didn't really have a worst gift. This was the 4th year my in-laws have gotten us $20 scratch off lottery tickets and we didn't win. Wish they'd just give me $20 instead.

The first one he came stateside. The other two were back to back.

Best - Trip to Las Vegas with the girlfriend with crazy good seats to see Britney Spears

Worst - One pound bag of Teriyaki Beef Jerky, which doesn't qualify as a true "worst" gift as I love that shit and it was more of a filler gift.

Fuck you for the Britney concert. She won't be there when I'm going for my 30th in June.

For me:
Best gift - Cash
Worse gift - Not closing on our house last week. Hopefully will happen tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure her contract runs through 2017, so they may not have updated the schedule yet. Hopefully you can see her. I saw her show a year ago and enjoyed it, but I was literally 5 rows from the back. This time I'll be right by the stage, so needless to say I'm pretty excited, haha.
