Just saw the Nat Guard is getting bloated with manpower.
Folks signing up for a job.
Have a SIL who just got back from Iraq and is about to enter OCS.
Hope he doesn't get laid off.

Is he in the Nat Guard? Where will he be going to OCS?

He's regular Army. Georgia for OCS, I think.
Him and the daughter are driving cross-country now.
His unit was based in Hawaii when she came down with thyroid cancer,
and now they're coming east.
She's cured, BTW. As much as you can be anyway.

Sorry to hear about the grandchild. Damn, that sucks.

He must be going to OCs at Fort Benning, just outside Columbus. Fort
Benning is the Infantry training center, but I think it's the only
place that does OCS now. I went through it at Fort Belvoir, but that
was back in '66 when almost each branch had its own OCS. It will be a
rough first couple months, but then things ease up a bit. I sure hope
he can put up with harrassment, if it's still allowed. Hell, maybe
five pushups at a time is the max now.
