You'll make someone a nice little wife someday!
I just recently posted, but I wanted to comment on all the new meat on the blog! Woo new meat!
I am still covering the Stanley court martial. You might have read the AP stuff by John Milburn. My recent stuff isn't getting posted on our site, so that's that. The court martial started Monday and closing statements and deliberations start tomorrow. It is really interesting, and really mind numbing at times. Today I was in the courtroom from approximately 7:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Then back to The Daily Union to file the story. Then back to the trial at 1:15. The military judge dismissed for the day at 7:15 p.m. This has been the longest day. Each one keeps getting longer and honestly, I am exhausted. In fact, I can barely keeps my eyes open right now. I've clocked 45 hours already. But enough of my bitching (Hey, I didn't say I was getting RID of the dark sunglesses!), I'm really fortunate to get to cover something like this. During a recess, the PAO (Public Affairs Officer) taught me how to tell the rank of a person by their uniform. I am an identifying machine now. I just want to walk up to a random soldier and say, "Well hello (quick look to the arm) Specialist!"
Well, I hate to post another monster entry so I'll see y'all later.
John Scheirman rules!

P.S. The post hed (Woo, jargon!) is what the mother of a male classmate said to me when I was 10.
