Today was a day that had a break from the ordinary. The new chief is an event planner type person. There's always one in every group who works out the details and gets things going when you all are sitting around talking about going to the beach. A room mom, if you will. So she organized a barbecue for all of the Navy folks on the base and got meat and a grill and did all the detail type things. It was very nice of her even if KBR makes food that is just fine on its own.
We also had Major General Simmons, General Odiearno's deputy, visit today. Standard general schtick, including telling us his briefing was going to be at 1345 and it starting at 1435. But he's a general so he can keep us all sitting in a room waiting. He talked. Blah, blah, blah. And must be more interesting listening to yourself talk as a general than listening to a general talk. My only conclusion is that generals and admirals are the same.

We had water chestnuts in our dinner tonight. I thought of you. Sabrina loved them.
mm...
water chestnuts.
at my installation, we have the pleasure of at least two generals every class--so between four and nine a month--to include, but not be limited to, petraeus, odierno, and pittard. the worst part is that they brief the same thing every time.
sometimes i even get to be the wanker that changes the slides. yay.
you are correct. generals and admirals are the same.
