Happy Easter to all; I hope the Easter Bunny has was able to drop off a few treats for you and your families. As luck would have it an Easter package arrived today from my parents; it was full of Jelly Beans and other treats for some of the local school kids.
For those of you who are wondering I never did make it to the 6 AM service but there was one scheduled at 1000 at my location, and since I was up at 0800 conducting the daily logistics meeting I figured the 1000 would work just perfect. With all our new guests checked-in it was time to get them into training; but not so fast. So...here is a new one - the unit that has been here a couple of days - it seems they departed their home location, drove 8 hours along a dangerous route and arrived to our base with no helmets or body armor. Thank goodness they did not run into any problems on the way to our location - if they had encountered any skirmishes or IED's many of the soldiers would have been hurt or killed. The gross failure of leadership aside we started looking into "work-arounds" in order to get these soldiers at least some training during their stay at our facility. It looks like we may either lend them some of our equipment or try to get some delivered in the near future. But until then it looks like they will have a few more days off. Better safe than sorry - not ideal considering their next stop but definitely the right call - we do not want any injuries that could have been prevented had the soldiers had the correct equipment. Oh well...have a good night and Happy Easter.
