Craterless

I’m not driving up the coast with my mom today because someone decided that it was absolutely essential that we execute a Rapid Runway Repair exercise. But here’s the skinny: we’re not using a real runway or even real craters, more than half of our people are absent at the range or water well class, and we’re skipping about 8 of the most important and difficult steps necessary to plot a new runway. So I have to ask, what about this is so important that my mom is off on her own?

The weather today is amazingly beautiful: it’s sunny and mild and perfect. A friend drove me home for lunch and when he dropped me off said, “It’s way too nice of a day to be in the military.” He’s right.
