Getting what you ask for...

The trouble with asking for all the training that you are technically supposed to have is that when the stars align just right, you're actually approved for all of it. The issue there being that then you're going to be expected to go sit through all of it.

So now it's looking like I get to spend a week of quality time in Huntsville, Alabama in September and four weeks back here at beautiful Ft. Belvoir in October. I suppose that means my fall is pretty well planned out for me, with August being the only month in the foreseeable future that doesn't have me wandering off across the eastern part of the country for one reason or another. It's probably not a good sign when bars and restaurants in cities where you don't live start knowing what you're going to order. Or when you are able to pick favorite exits on the interstate because the gas station there has the best snack selection and coffee that you like.

So that's your cautionary tale for the evening... Be careful what you ask for, kiddies.
