#1 Well, you should have revised those training guidelines by now, but I wouldn't be too hard on the Guard. When GW1 kicked off we had a lot of problems with the active force being ready to deploy. A lot of the dual military households had to scramble to find someone to take their kids when both members got orders to go. And there were even a few cases of husbands deploying without the wife having access to the checkbook or even knowing they could shop at the PX without their husband escorting them. Trying to keep them barefoot and stupid, that went over well.

#2 Oops--I guess I should have put the full "Command Sgt. Major" title in the subject heading. Don't want to shortchange the man of his correct rank and title.

#3 Command Sgt. Major had better get his act together. Any time the Guard gets called, there's no written guarantee that states how much time they have to get ready. Looks like ND needs a new Command Seargent Major that doesn't whine.
