Well it finally happened. My boss left Kandahar today, and is on his way back to the States. The transition from him to his replacement has been seamless, I think. It is nice to change things up half way through, and get some new blood in the office. I think the new faces will help get through the next 6 months. I can already tell, things are going to be different...
Tomorrow morning I have a flying evaluation board or an FEB, as we love acronyms and abbreviations in the Army. At an FEB, normally I present evidence as to why an aviator should no longer be allowed to fly for the Army. Tomorrow is going to be a little different. There are extenuating circumstances and the commander feels that this pilot should be given a second chance in another company. So I will do my best to argue that she should be given that second chance and transferred to another company. However, all of the witnesses will testify that shouldn't happen. So, it should be an uphill battle. So, I may get her wings without trying. You never know what a board will do...
