Please raise your right hand!

Yes, those are the words I am gonna be hearing tonite as Major General Shellito from MN is going to be reenlisting me on the beautiful grounds outside of our PDHA palace! Well, our PDHA building that is! I chose this rather than the palace because of the work I did on the landscape, and it would be cool! Well, I am signing for another 6 years, and it is really a given at this point that I would stay in. I chose origionally to have our General here do it, which is Brigadier General Granger but when I heard MG Shellito was coming over to visit the MN troops, I requested him, and Col. Kelly the state chief of staff for MN hooked me up, as he is deployed at Camp Victory also! I am very proud to serve as a member of Minnesota, and this is a great honor to have him do it for 1 person in Iraq! If you don't know MG Shellito is the MN state Adjutant General for the Army and Air Force. He was the General at our ceremony. The only thing with tonite is that I wanted it to be a quiet low key thing, but once the 18th Airborne Corps found out they invited more Generals, and Sergeant Majors from all over, and we have flags, and cake and ice cream, and the Victory newspaper is here, and also, we are doing a story today, and tomm. for AFN on preventive medicine, and they happen to be staying here with reporters and cameras! Man, this is weird, and I asked for none of this! But, I know that most of the people coming don't even know me, so there is a big cheeseball fake factor to network as well.
But hey, if you are going to reenlist, you might as well do it right!
Anyway, that is my night, so in my true fashion, I have been preparing my landscape for the big event, so I missed my appointment with my wife and kids to webcam each other before the kids go to school! Sweetheart, and kids, I am sorry, I will try again tommorrow!
Everybody have a good day!
Later,
Erik
