I managed to get orders to a staff job, and I'm going to the Maritime Staff Operators Course. What's awesome is that I'm getting the chance to focus on operational level of war, rather than the constant admin battle that too often represents the job of a department head. However, it gives me less time to blog, so I'll be on a bit less frequently until the middle of June. I'll still post, but likely only once or twice a week.
Didn't want anyone to think the blog was going away...it's just on a bit of a pause.
