I've been hit with a bill for mess dues. I'm asking for more information including exactly what dates I'm getting charged for, etc, but I've got a few thoughts going through my head regarding it. First off, I haven't been invited/able to attend a mess meeting in at least two years. I was on...

So my best friend never finished high school and has a serious self-improvement thing going on. One of the things she's working on is her communications skills. I passed on to her some decent books on technical writing, and she's getting into it. She's pretty self-directed, but she wants to get...

So my unit asked for names for a CBRN instructor course for a same-day nomination, and I'm in. Except they misunderstood what it was. Its apparently a "Decontamination Specialist" course. I can likely still go in order to get a greater understanding of CBRN stuff, but its most of a month away...

I have to prepare a briefing note to get higher to sign on to a pet project. Folks who would ordinarily offer advice are on course or tasking or otherwise indisposed. Failed to find any references here or elsewhere. Does anyone have one to point me at? DWAN or otherwise.

I am trying to advantageously employ a highly experienced, somewhat skilled, somewhat less than intelligent soldier. Today was an especially frustrating day. Short, simple instructions to complete one task and move on to the next. Not complicated, not said fast, and confirmation requested and...

My aunt had a serious fall and needed hip surgery this week, this is aggravated by her hip being shattered and patched together with titanium a long time ago. I really want her to have a good recovery, and may be flying out to help get the house ready for her to come home. I'd appreciate...

Class A reservist; initial injury on class A, reinjury on class B, subsequent surgery while on class A with full-time civilian employment. I was a bit blindsided by what my timeline was going to be for surgery from a service-related injury, and I have now been laid off on disability from my...
