Pull The Other One

The Commanding General of the Army Reserve came by today to tell us just how important we are to the recruiting mission. Although taking time out of his busy schedule was sincerely appreciated by all, we didn't need him to tell us that. We understand how the numbers are vital to readiness across the board.

What we were hoping to hear, we didn't. There is still no word on where we will be going when we're done with this course. Everyone (all 400 plus) of us have a horror story about having to be on station 10 days after we graduate and what a pain that's going to be. We are really worried about succeeding at a difficult job with so many unknowns.

Still, we are safe and sound in the good 'ol USA. Most of us have been to Iraq or Afghanistan, so we understand just what's at stake. And damned glad we are home.

We were told by the school that the Human Resources Command is busy working on our assignments. The same thing they told us last week. And the week before.
