I hung Old Glory off the balcony but I neglected the veterans in my own life. Disculpa!

You are on a one year tour and if Dictator Kim gets a cold you rush to the headquarters, since it might be your one chance to earn a medal for your outstanding efforts.<br /><br />The Pentagon is the same way, especially on the Army Staff. Long hours and Saturdays are a norm.<br /><br />"Up or Out" promotion rules helps create this culture. In other nations, officers don't worry about not making Major and thus being forced out of the Army after twelve years of service.<br /><br />Be safe.<br /><br />Regards — CliffC R Kriegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10563658418464959198noreply@blogger.com
