Into the Swing

Well we're leaning forward in the saddle and preparing for the start of the exercise on Sunday night. Since all we do is monitor developments and brief the general twice a day my days have been filled with PowerPoint slides and links and briefing orders and on and on. Gone are the days when I walked around in the mud and had a real impact on events. Now I just stare at computer monitors and worry about whether or not we should use 16 point or 18 point Arial fonts.
