Good morning all,
It's always a good day when you're above ground and can make an impact on something no matter how big or small. But in doing so, we must stop and reflect on how are we doing this. IMO the biggest things in life are Live, Love, Laugh. We get wrapped up in the silliness that work brings, family issues, or those long mind numbing powerpoint briefs that are always 200 slides too long when the total number is 201. This week take a second to thank those who've made you lives better, something that caused you to laugh, and to the ones you love. There is a caveat here....Wednesday is a holiday. It's called Veterans Day. Be safe with the BBQ's and all of the other shenanigans that you and your troops are about to get into. But come Tuesday afternoon, many formations will be had with commander's intent of letting the troops go early...... we forget that someone else is there who normally puts the brakes on immediate fun. If you can relate to this meme, just chuckle. If you are going to be part of one of these formations...sucks to be you. This is not a dig at anyone, just Monday morning humor. Have a good day RP

Stand Fast..........two words I always hated to hear. And now I find myself saying those exact words to my Soldiers.

Only thing worse is "wait here". At least when they say "stand fast" they remain there to waste time with you.

In order to defend the honor of First Sergeants everywhere, when I say "stand fast" it is always because the commander insisted on talking first. He hates it when he can't think of anything I missed and has to make stuff up to talk about.

1SG, it's all good, but I have this feeling this is what you're thinking when the CO wants to run his gums to the formation..

No, he can talk to the formation. That's fine.
It is when he wants to talk to the formation about nothing that drives me nuts...

SSG Warren Swan In defense of Captains everywhere, that's because the Maj called for a premeeting, to the LTC's premeeting, about the COL's meeting. In order that the CPT could bring them up to date on what the REAL numbers and status' are.
