Everything is going just fine out here. We are making our mission happen and adapting to the little things.
Meetings become verbal commitments to train Iraqi's and the training spawns meetings to discuss the degrees of success the training has had. These meetings become more meetings to discuss further follow-on training and so on.
Well today, we had a meeting on meetings. We actually discussed how meetings were supposed to be done... so it was a meeting training meeting.
Oddly enough, the meeting training meeting also scheduled training for tomorrow, so there will be meetings on how that training goes too.
Don't get me started about the reports that are generated about the trainings or meetings. Aye, aye, aye!!!
I guess there was some high level meeting going on today about the status of forces or something concerning our future support to the Iraqi people. Honestly, I am too far down in the weeds to really get much of what is going on way up there in the stratusphere.
I know Ohio State won yesterday, Iraqi men are still playing musical fuses, mosquitoes are still out and biting in mid-November here and that is about it.

Mark,
This sounds like what goes on at the hospital. We have so many chiefs there and all they do all day long is discuss what meetings need to be met to meet their meetings requirements that our government requires them to meet! Most of the meetings we extend the deadline to meet the requirement of the meeting that was required to be met! (Or something like that). Because the chiefs who are meeting the requirements for meetings don't do the actual work of the hospital, no one can live with the bright ideas they come up with! But at least they are meeting the meetings requirement. . . And costing the hospital $$$. But at least the chiefs have a job which keeps the economy going!
