Did everyone have a good time? I felt bad for not going, after Kieloch texted me that I had won an award. $:-\$

I'm groaning at my previous post here, frew up should have been grew up.
Anyways, was wondering were you were at Brodsky.
I'm a bit surprised this year, I got the Yeager award and the unit won some incentive award for growth which we didn't think we would get. Also one of the other SM's (A Major.) from the unit earned the Frank Brewer Lifetime Aerospace Award. (probably not the correct name but gives the idea of what he got.)
Over all it was a good conference and the boat ride didn't seem as long this year either.

Saw Pylon and was trying to remember why I knew the face from some where just check the Show Yourself page and that jogged my memory.

Sir, I saw an SM in grays with the last name Thornton walk by me either during the intermission or right after the general assembly. Before I had a chance to process that thought, he was gone. Would that happen to be you, sir?

There where two of us there, My dad and myself.
If he was a little gray on top and walked with a severe ;imp or dragged his foot, that would be my dad, if it was the senior whose hair wouldn't stay flat and looked wild, that would be me.
Grays?

Sorry sir. I mean the CAP Distinctive Aviator Shirt Uniform. And I do believe it was the senior whose hair wouldn't stay flat, sir.

Well, in that case it might have been him, sir.

I enjoyed the CadetFest and getting the opportunity to work with other cadets outside of my squadron and group and/or neighboring groups, although I did feel a bit intimidated by the overwhelming amount of cadet officers in my presence.
The cruise/banquet was nice too. It was also my first time (EVER) on color guard. Can you guess which one I was?

You're welcome for the ride home, cadet.

I too enjoyed the conference. It was my first and I am inclined to go again next year. It doesn't hurt that the weather was just about perfect.
