Higher Learning

First, life is precious. Never forget that.
If you are lucky enough to be embroiled in the minutia of life, consider yourself fortunate. I am so fortunate this evening.

I have to write a 10 page (single-space) paper about civil/military relations and the recourse those who wear a uniform have when their civilian superiors make decisions contrary to their advice. Said paper is due in 6 days. There is no way I can write a decent paper in 6 days. I could maybe do it, but I have to answer a handful of essays as well – to the tune of 1k words a pop.

But this is the thing. I generally always find some way to make it happen. This has set me up in a really bad pattern. I graduated HS, college including various and sundry term papers, essays and final literature assignments either at the last minute or with a negotiated extension. Thus, I have come to know that I can always make it work.

I’m sure at some point, it’s going to bite me in the a$$. We shall see if this is that time.

Anyone have any thoughts about the resignation of Admiral Fallon??????
