Inter-service support issues SPC Margaret Higgins. I became the subject matter expert when I realized there was no consolidated information source. I developed an unclassified information database that was used by HQDA in the budget process.
Later I was tapped to represent Army in the drafting of the DoD Executive Agent directive and after I left the military I drafted a response to Army Chief of Staff whitepaper and was asked to brief the VCSA for two hours on the subject. At the time I was dealing with diverticulitis and heavily medicated but the briefing went very well.

What I believe, LTC Stephen F., is that our bodies will not go to Heaven. Only our souls.
And thusly, I believe you will be rid eternally of your human suffering.
Maybe we are both saying essentially the same thing?

SPC Margaret Higgins - I think we are both referring to the same thing.
I was referring to our Resurrection bodies when I mentioned "in God's perfect timing we will get our incorruptible bodies as He reestablishes the new creation."

I think I have picked up some skills from the B-2, namely the stealth aspect because I generally excel at flying under the radar. I never get into trouble but never really get noticed for anything either. I'm just kind of here to work my shift and then gone. Kind of nice though, at least I don't have supervision breathing down my neck for things.

If screwing up could be a primary MOS, I'd have it. If finding new ways of getting yourself out of those situations was a secondary MOS I'd have it too. But taking both of those and preventing my Soldiers from repeating them was the point where I realized I'd finally made it.

Oh Man. I am exceedingly Sorry to hear that that is all that matters to some leaders; SPC (Join to see). Things like performance, intelligence, stability, hard work, etc. most decidedly should matter to leaders.
Don't let them get you down; Specialist. YOU are WORTH IT.
