Yesterday was great - I ended up getting  out 2 hours of drill to attend three conferences - one was with the Chief Counselor   for USAID (U.S. Agency for International Development), one was with Gen. Charles Jacoby, Commander NORTHCOM and NORAD, and the third was with the CEO of Save the Children, one of the largest non-profit NGO's in the world. All three conferences were tailored to crisis relief and response. They were all really neat.
Unfortunately, I was not able to attend the last meeting that day - a lecture by Henry Kissinger (fmr. Secretary of State and National Security Advisor).
All  of our uniforms we need for summer deployment came in yesterday, and even though I'm not going on summer deployment I got multiple new pairs of coveralls, Navy Working Uniforms (think blue camouflage), and new khakis. My closet is now full of uniforms and uniform components.
Today I'm working a conference for the Middle Eastern Studies Council, and then am heading back to study for my calculus exam on Thursday.
This coming Friday I am going on a tour of the Sikorsky aircraft plant in Stratford CT where all of the U.S. Army Blackhawks, U.S. Navy Seahawks, U.S.C.G. Jawhawks, and U.S.A.F. Pavehawks are produced. It should be pretty neat. I've driven by there a few times and it's neat to see all the blackhawks out on the tarmac.
But the best news of late? It's finally nice weather up here. I haven't had to wear a coat in three days. No snow on the ground, and I can go on walks without getting chilly. I saw a bloom on a tree yesterday (yep, only one bloom on one tree, but that means more are on the way!).
