Late breaking orders

Out early – downloaded the remaining stuff that I needed before the rest of the world got up.

Spent my day running around and chasing my tail. Got my crowns finished – so I now have a bit more gold in my mouth. Army pays for something.

Went out to Harvey Barracks for the Assumption of Command by COL David Granger of 1AD DISCOM. The previous commander let command early in Nov because of cancer and treatment requirements, so they have had an acting commander for the last couple of months. Other than that – it looked like a regular change of command ceremony – but for the flag going from the CSM to the General to the new commander.

Getting back, held the monthly awards ceremony. Some awards were following folks from their previous duty assignments while others of ours were getting recognized.

End of the afternoon saw the consumer council meeting – a few takers, but not many – going to see what we can do to round up more participation.

Finished all of that by 1800. Had to NCO’s who had been waiting to see me. Turned out that the one was scheduled to leave on a MEDEVAC in the morning for an outpatient appointment but still did not have orders.

So, now I know how to type a DA 1610. The resource manager came in to provide the fund cite. Tomorrow, I get to unscrew the mix-up that had her orders not done in the first place.

Home to crash.

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
