Still alive

So far, still able to update. Hopefully I can run under the radar.

Last night we continued to brief our order for the upcoming exercise. We are kicking things off soon. I have seen our Observer/Controllers(OCs) all over the place, starting to show us how to do our mission, and what they expect.

You can always tell an OC. To begin with, they are in green uniforms, we are in desert tan. They never take their hats off in a building. Not sure how they get away with this, given the Army Reg requiring hats off in a building. Also, many of them have chairs strapped to their bodies, rather, hanging off their web gear. Small X shaped chairs with canvas tops, that fold flat. What does it say about a guy that he always wants to have a chair around. I like to always have a book around, but not to sit on.

The staff has been busily working up our order. However, they departed from the Boss's guidance, and got their butts chewed, so they had to go back and redo the work. This caused the subordinate units to scramble and adjust what they had prepared.
