There and Back

I found this wasting away in my drafts folder from a month ago


Life rarely gives you what you expect it to give you. And that's not always a bad thing.



I went to Vernon this past weekend. To do a couple of things first to see my yougest cadets that are attending camp up there and secondly to see a friend who is working up there. I though it important to go up and see the basic cadets. No one ever goes up to see their grad parade, and those are the ones I think look for our appoval more than most. I fully expected them to be surprised to see me, but they seemed genuily excited some of them couldn't wait to talk to me. The night before I was on base one of my Sr. cadets heard I was there and searched me out. If I ever doubt the importance of what I do I hope I remember that weekend.
