Happy news!

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Do we have any other four-stripers on board?
Aye! Received a phone call from my 3-Star a few hours ago. I am on travel and was not expecting the results or the call. The Flag is a consummate professional and personifies leadership!

Well, congratulations to you too, Captain! <V-Tail salutes>

Well if that isn't something to be proud of I don't know what is?

Thank her for her service for me (and approx. 83,000 of your invisible friends).

She is an intel officer now at the Joint Chiefs. I'm not sure what her next duty station will be.

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Wow....O-6 is a huge step.....wearing the Bird is an awesome accomplishment and responsibility.

Congratulations to both you and your lovely wife (figuring you had a hand in something

) and to your daughter.

And to you KP93.....the amount of work it takes to get there (besides the BS and politics) is a testament to your professionalism and drive.

And may both of you and JA's daughter steer clear of sandbars ......I keed...I keed

I won't be getting a transplant. I decided against it, and I'm too old now anyway.

Daughter in law, actually. My son is the lucky one. I had nothing to do with it!

Congratulations to her and the rest of the family! Hard work pays off (and now gets her MORE hard work)!

I am definitely amongst the 83k-odd invisible friends giving thanks to her for her service!
