16 Apr

Another Multiple Meetings Monday in the books! I expect to see an e-mail in the next couple of weeks about my travel itinerary back to the States. It looks as if I will be flying back to BWI and then onto the West coast to rendezvous with the wife and kids.
One of the weekly meetings that I attend on Monday afternoon is the Command and Staff meeting in which the logistics staff briefs details of their section to the senior Iraqi Colonel. We have managed to turn a 75 minute question and answer session into a 25 minute all inclusive brief. My job is complete - in this department anyway; we will see how they do next week when I sit in the back of the room and critique the preparation process and the brief. The ability of the staff to be able to complete this "briefing task" may not seem like much of an accomplishment to you, but to a group of Iraqi's who never used Power Point before but are now briefing the Colonel from Power Point is a huge victory. Well that is enough for today - have a happy Monday.
