Married Couple

By Sgt. Jessica Duncan,

CAMP ATTERBURY, Ind. - Newlyweds Cassandra and Thomas Forsyth imagined they would be together through thick and thin, but what about through heat and sand?

Senior Airman Cassandra P. Forsyth of Long Beach, Calif., and husband Senior Airman Thomas G. Forsyth of Plum Boro, Pa., are airmen with the 203rd Weather Flight out of Fort Indiantown Gap, Pa. They will deploy together to Iraq this winter with a Stryker Brigade, an Army combat team that has the capability to deploy anywhere in the world within 96 hours after liftoff. The Forsyth's have the Air Force Specialty Code of Weather Observation & Forecasting, and in Iraq they will be forecasting the weather and briefing pilots on weather conditions.


Cassandra Forsyth said she appreciates the challenge of her Air Force specialty. As a weather technician, she's responsible for managing the collection, analysis, and forecasting of atmospheric and space weather conditions.

"I like science and it [weather] is intellectually challenging," she said.

The two met while they were stationed in Sembach, Germany, for 18 months and began dating the last six months they were there.
