Making tomorrows Military today: First day back

First day back

Oh my goodness. I show up and wow. My office was in complete disarray. The recruiters have done a great job pushing themselves further than ever, but they did not do ANY admin.

The first thing that I noticed was the notice on the wall about the Marine recruiter in Washington. Basically it said, watch what you are going.

There was nothing really interesting today with the exception of the "National Database". Hey folks, we already have a database. It is broken down by stations, but instead of a company doing the leg work, we do. National Recruiting will do mass mailouts to every senior we have on file sometime around February, right before Spring Break, peddling phone cards if you call in to get it activated. The only difference is that we have to let each of the other branches know that we put someone in the service. We are all in the same geographic location so it is pretty easy. It saves their time, and our DEP family's time.

I suspect that this is just another ploy to push back the No Child Left behind act. Ah well.

I will let you know more tomorrow. I think that the Militantwife and I are going to go camping this weekend for a little R&R, now that I can enjoy myself off of convalescence leave.
