My Journey to Alaska and back....again (and other Army/life adventures)

[volfanbill]

I’ve been in a year, granted it’s all been in TRADOC, but I don’t know how you’ve done it for 15 or whatever without going crazy.

I'm about to hit 9 and I've done it alcohol free (my whole life has been). Just gotta learn to ride with the crazy

That said I'm a nerd that doesn't deal with too much big army BS. These last two assignments I'm nothing more than a civilian in camo. With this Pentagon gig, I'm not even in camo for our assignments/events typically.

Yankee, I’ve figured out what you need to do. Become an Old Guard 1SG. I’d finally meet you, and I’d have a Tennessee fan close by

Have you ever met an NCO in the Old Guard with the last name Dotson?

I haven’t, when we cover their ceremonies I rarely get to see names. I’ll start paying attention though

There’s a lot of them and the do a lot more stuff then people realize. It’s cool to watch them. Would be awesome to serve as a Caisson and work with the horses

Worked a committee meeting today trying to keep availability for interment at Arlington available. They are quickly running out of space. The Marine side Ft Myer is going, a few houses and the land around the Air Force Memorial are all being taken for future space, they are going to start putting more emphasis on above ground level tombs, and making stricter requirements to be allowed to be buried there (or even interred in any manner).

I actually did a survey about Arlington the other day.
