I will be off the net for a few days.

Tomorrow starts a 3-day disaster relief exercise in Okeechobee County.  I won't be near a computer that not tied up with MIMS, WMIRS, or some other miracle wizard software desiged to make life more complex.

We have to support the Space Expo at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station all day tomorrow, then disengage from that mission, move south to Okeechobee, set up a base at the airport, and establish air and ground recon operations in the morning on Saturday. 

Hopefully, we'll be done early on Sunday afternoon, but I'm not betting the farm on that.

I won't be able to play on the net Sunday due to the "6/8 Recovery Rule."

Recovery from a 3-day field exercise follows this formula:

6 beers + 8 hours sleep,  OR

8 beers + 6 hours sleep,

And you're good to go again the next day!

(At least, that's how it worked when I was in my 30's.)

Talk to you guys on Monday.  Semper Vi!

I'm back.

The AAR is done, my gear is stowed away for the next one, and I slept good all night. 

Why do cadets find making anonymous farting noises at night so terribly hilarious?

Because they're still children. There are a few 20 year olds the same way.

How do you find the time to do all this?

Retirement=Active Duty CAP member!

My only career options at this point are:

Major, CAP. Deputy Commander of a Group.

or

Assistant Homemaker.

I'll go with option 1.

... and a few older-than-20 types as well...

The threat of strategic YouTube'ing causes a good deal of cadets to recollect their bearing.

I won't lie, I started laughing rather hard when I read that.
