    It seems my son is making quite a name for himself in the job. I think he's doing a fine job. I have another son that does the burn training at the rock too. We seem to be everywhere. The only time I was in E224 quarters we had relocated there and they had a bunch of binoculars on the second floor. I guess there must have been a good view from there. Stay low and be safe.
