In Washington DC for the weekend as the representative of Chapter 44 of AUSCS. The conference/training should start in a couple of hours and I suppose my roommate will show up sometime soon also. My command granted my special liberty request too, so this isn't going to cost me anything in the way of leave. And AUSCS is reimbursing the hotel cost and payed for the flight up here. I feel like I'm scamming someone!! I'm excited to be a part of this and think I'm going to learn a little bit more about how the government actually works this weekend.

As an added bonus Marc Prickett still lives here in DC so I was able to hang out with him a little yesterday and probably will again later this weekend.

Happy Veterans Day!
