COL Mikel J. Burroughs the snow wreaked havoc on me. Slid into a ditch! Made the necessary notifications and contacted AAA. Good to go. We are working on plans of isolation and quarantine for COVID-'19; cannot afford to have any lapses in guarding, working and staying alert with the nuke mission here.
I'm not entirely sure when I will PCS. I am eligible to apply for overseas assignments now. I will be eligible for a CONUS PCS July 2021. Manning also plays a part in it as well. I'm the only E-6 and we are authorized 2.

I expect you are thankful for your ability to hear and that you appreciate hearing the voices of those you love, enjoyable music, great conversation and great preaching of God’s word Joe & Christine.
I pray that you and I speak well of others including those we disagree with and that we use our voice to stand up for those who cannot speak including the yet-to-be-born, my brother-in-Christ TSgt Joe C. and sister-in-Christ TSgt Joe C..
I lift veterans, service members, and each other person who has difficulty hearing to YOU dear God. I pray that those of us who have been exposed to noises which impacted our hearing can hear YOUR voice more clearly. I pray that YOU heal our hearing capabilities sovereignly and/or through hearing aids. I pray that those who love and are loved by those with hearing difficulties have an extra dose of patience and compassion and do their best to communicate with their loved one.
I pray LORD that YOU bless each one of YOUR adopted sons and daughters with an increase of kindness, compassion and goodness. I pray that YOU motivate each of us to listen well before speaking and peace instead of a retort as we respond.
I pray LORD that we each communicate well with our spouse, children, friends and others. I pray that we try to learn what music they like as we reveal what music we like and that we speak in a reasonable tone of voice. Give us patience dear God and compassion if we confront another about the volume or irritating sounds they make. Give us humility when we are confronted about our volume, tone or noises.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Saturday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

DISTURBED Immortalized The Sound Of Silence August 21, 2015 *David Draiman *Dan Donegan *Mike Wengren
Good Saturday RP Family
Have you ever heard a blindfolded octopus unwrap a cellophane-covered bathtub?

My body is an ugly masterpiece that lives off the beauty of sound.

In every sound, the hidden silence sleeps.

OK I took this in a different direction. I have been dealing with nagging running injuries for the better part of a year. One issue aggravates another issue and is frustrating. The meme I found is about getting older and dealing with things in my own way. Happy Saturday RP
