A touch of humor for us...
Charley, a new retiree-greeter at Wal-Mart, just couldn't seem to get to work on time.
Every day he was 5, 10, 15 minutes late. But he was a good worker, really tidy, clean-shaven, sharp minded, a real credit to the company and obviously demonstrating their "Older Person Friendly" policies. One day the boss called him into the office for a talk.
"Charley, I have to tell you, I like your work ethic, you do a bang up job, but your being late so often is quite bothersome."
"Yes, I know boss, and I am working on it."
''Well good, you are a team player. That's what I like to hear. It's odd though your coming in late. I know you're retired from the Armed Forces. What did they say if you came in late there?"
''They said, "Good morning Admiral, can I get your coffee, sir?'''

I know that the military is what it is and that I won't worry myself to death, but these young men that have died recently are all about the same age as my son. It really hits close to home. Jamie will be 21 in November. We lost one from Conyers several years back and it was devastating for the community. Prayers will keep us strong...

FMTB is Field Medical Training Battalion. Corpsman are the medical support for the Marines. All Corpsman go through the training - a Marine bootcamp. The training helps the Corpman to prepare for situations on the battlefield.

It's been a tough couple of months for our troops. My son is scheduled to graduate Corpsman school on September 29 and has been told his tour in Italy will be on hold because his class and at least two classes behind him have to go through FMTB next. Apparently it's required that all Corpsman go through this training with the Marine's, but it's never been mandatory that it be done right out of A School. Scary stuff going on across the globe.
