And, just prior to my departure from home to report for movement, I get a call from the other SSgt on the Det.  He tells me that we have now have no military transport out of CONUS (continental United States) and that Marine Forces Pacific would rather shortfall the operation than pay for civilian flights to Korea.  Going to find out more tomorrow, but, at present, it looks like I am not going.  

Guess I am going to get to work on answering some email.

Glad you're able to stick around some more (as, I'm sure, are Katie & the little one)
but I just don't like the sound of undermanning any operation.

They will survive without us.  7th Comm and 8th Comm both have Marines there, we were just filling in gaps by pulling us from 6th Comm.  We were not even bringing much gear, just encryption devices and stuff like FCC-100s and Prominas.  The exercise is a Command and Control practice for quickly deploying forces to Korea.  It happens every year.

Mostly I hated to call the Reserve Marines (all of the Marines were Reservists except me) and tell them that all the work they had done, getting ahead on college, going through their employer's annoying system of getting time off for the military, and other stuff - had been for nothing.

And Katie was relieved, he work was giving her grief about not being able to work late and weekends as much.  Jenna started crawling at long last the other night (she had learned to roll and would roll everwhere), so she will quickly develop into a handful.

Andrew. Just which unit are you in, exactly. I don't think you ever mentioned them.

Glad you'll be around for longer. We need more reviews!

Alpha Company, 6th Communications Battalion, 4th Force Service Support Group, Marine Forces Reserve.  (Inspector-Instructor Staff.  I fill the Data Chief billet on the active side and am integrated with the Reserves, so I am the Data Communications Platoon Commander.)

And, the fun part:  Amityville, NY.

Boy, that gets long when you write it all out.

Have a safe one Andrew. Korea is a hot spot no doubt. With the elections coming up this November anything can happen before and after these elections in this small world of ours.

.  .  .  .  Hey, they have a golf course along the N/S line.  I saw it on "Travel Sick."  Just something stupid before leaving.  Don't know what to say about this stuff...

Good luck.  Hopefully the penninsula will be quiet, I can't imagine the Chinese wanting a war on their border.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
