Hello All

Well, I think I win! I was, let me think, almost 50 years young! Received an age waiver, obviously, from (now) BRIG. GEN Pollock herself! (Direct Commission) Getting my promotion packet ready, also on standing orders to MOB out to Cali (sigh)

Y'all take care, Stay Safe!

Gen,

Belated congrats on your finishing up OBLC! WOW. So, talk Girl, who was your guest speaker?

How much time do you have before you have to report in?

Again, much happiness to you!

Hello hello!!

We got our coins from MG Gale S. Pollack. How cool is that?! It was a very big deal to me.

My sis and nieces came to Texas, (from Chicago) to be here for the ceremony and to also visit and for the weekend. I am glad they could come for that as it was a bigger deal to me than the MS graduation ceremony.

Those of us who are permanent party here report to BAMC directly after out-processing from OBLC, (Oct 9th after noon). :)

Hooah,

Gen :)

p.s. oh yeah, I'm loving it
