Hope they're fixed now.<br /><br />Slappy, there are countless examples of stories about that stuff, but there are encouraging signs of progress too. Unfortunately we are probably only in Year One of getting training right, about 8 yrs too late for a high level of support for the commitment. And still now, just as I saw 4 yrs ago, there is a lack of honesty at the upper levels about what such a commitment would entail and how long we can expect to have people here.<br /><br />Cocktoasten- I have met Rob a couple of times, and he's a great guy. You're right about his status; we are both PAO Reserve Marines, in the same detachment of Individual Augmentees, in fact. He just commands a slightly wider audience than I do (and outranks me -- picked up LtCol last year). Pretty sure I could out-run him though.DagarDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03147536721447977860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20639917.post-13531335168139061912010-06-27T21:00:19.150-06:002010-06-27T21:00:19.150-06:00Yo cuz,

Too bad I had already clicked them from somewhere else. <br /><br />Hope all is well with y'all and hoping the dust settles from the recent DC bombshell that was dropped on Afghanistan. <br /><br />We're keeping everyone in our thoughts and prayers.K-Dubyahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11521926527381863273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20639917.post-87255099639068459432010-06-22T20:48:46.764-06:002010-06-22T20:48:46.764-06:00Unfortunately neither of the Foreign Policy links ...Unfortunately neither of the Foreign Policy links are working, but the NY Times one is eye-opening ...

I guess he's also a public affairs reservist Marine. Just curious as to if you've worked with him before, and if he's just as funny in the office.<br /><br />Cheers!John Cocktoastenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02049621974456655231noreply@blogger.com
