The Phillips are no strangers to long distances, but they never thought their deployments would bring them closer together.
Capt. Thomas Phillips, Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 115 weapon systems officer, and 1st Lt. Alyson Phillips, 378th Expeditionary Contracting Squadron infrastructure flight commander, were each tasked to deploy by their respective branches, little did they know that their paths would lead them both to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.. "It’s been pretty special."Alyson was stationed at Prince Sultan Air Base first.
"There were a bunch of bases that were on the table and there was a lot of back and forth of whether he’d come out here or not," Alyson said. "It got to the point where I said I won’t believe it until he’s actually here.""I was so excited," Alyson said. "It’s weird to not see your husband for a while and then not see them at home but see them here."
