This is so right on …
There is almost no way to do this without copying the whole thing BUT I found this on the site of a recent commentor. Give him a big “hooah”, please. Here’s the link: Shane
And here’s the entry (I love it but, Shane, if you’d rather I didn’t link this … just say so and I’ll remove it for ya. Thanks.) :
What the Army sometimes feels like

At least the mother turned around.

I have always maintained that the government does NOT make a good parent (that’s the social worker in me). With that said I can see the definite connection between these pictures and the Army at times! Trust me, families feel that way too sometimes!
Speaking as a family who has been “dropped” from the system somehow I agree!!! We have no orders, so the leave we applied for is denied because we do not exist! we are property of Ft. Benning HRC and the day after Graduation CLiff gets to report to work here. Yep. Pretty much feeling like those baby ducks.
Oh no, Kristen … you guys still don’t know where Cliff is going for BOLCII??? I know I shouldn’t be suprised. But. I am.
OH Kristen!! NOT HHC! AAACCCCKKKK!!
NO, NOT HHC, HRC. Not sure what the difference is except that HRC is who is supposed to be getting the orders out so he will be at their office working every day UNTIL they get them. Hopefully that will all be a good thing. Hopefully we can get some answers soon so I know if we are coming or going (literally)
