Veterans Day

I had a fabulous weekend with the cadet group. The Vets were grateful for the company and the kids did a great job. At one point, 2 or 3 of the younger cadets were surrounded by a circle of Vets in wheelchairs wielding oversized beach balls. It was a blast just watching them. We stuck to the schedule and the 1st Sgt showed excellent command of the troops.

I was surprised by a statement from the CO during final formation. He announced that he would be stepping back from the unit and I would be taking over. The CO and I had not discussed his announcement prior to making it so I was definitely taken aback. I have mixed feelings about this new responsibility; but overall I am ok with it.

How neat. And I would think it an honor that he thought you were good enough to take over.

:) You rock.
