Pelican Five lives on Wilson Road in Folsom, Louisiana between the cities of Covington and Hammond. Although I have a "Folsom" address, I actually reside in Tangipahoa parish because Folsom is the nearest Post Office to my home.
I am located between the cities of Hammond and Covington.
I am working at the Joint Operations Center for the National Guard, currently at Jackson Barracks, but I don't know for how much longer I will be here before we make a move to another place. I work the night shift so I don't know what plans are being made right now.
Trust me that we are planning and preparing for every thing that we can conceive might occur. Our efforts and resources may be overcome by a higher power on a temporary basis.
I did the same duty for Hurricane Andrew and worked for 21 straight days in what amounted to 20 hour shifts. The only way I got relief was because I had to go overseas for a preplanned tour of duty to Belgium.
It is my job and I can't imagine me doing anything else. Fortunately, my wife understands and does what any military wife does - copes.
