CAMP ATTERBURY, IN. - Soldiers from the HSC 149th MEB facilitated a grilling operation at Camp Atterbury, Indiana, throughout the duration of Warfighter 24-4 in June of 2024. Due to the 24-hour operational period, the grill was opened multiple times each day and night to accommodate Soldiers regardless of shift assignment. Warfighter 24-4 is a multi-state exercise conducted by the Army National Guard to test and train for battle readiness.

Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...last minute project had to be done “now”.

Hope all is well and summer is progressing nicely in your part of WA.

Howdy, Kathy.

Bummer. Hope it doesn’t take too long. You need to be relaxing with your feet up and the shoes off!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Very late, but I finally got here. Had to keep working.

We must always remember our military men and women.

Is July going to be your winner for “lack of rain”?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Pro...hope your week is going well and you are well rested for the weekend.

[radu]

Whew! They just keep throwing things at you, don’t they?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...work was a bear today, and I had a project that took a while. I got a question on something I had sent and they wanted clarification. But it took me a while to figure out what they wanted. Finally figured out, wrote my answers to “why”, and project done.

Hope your day was dry and you could get out.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, luvie...”oh boy, goodie bags”. They deserve them.

[Kathy in Alaska]

The smoothest part is that today wasn’t “checks” day. I did finally hear from accounting (they kept me in the loop trying to find the 7/12 garnishment checks)...file sent to bank, bank says they never got it, file reissued today. Hopefully we will get the checks Friday so I can process and mail them on Saturday. (I’ve asked questions every other day.)

[luvie]

They sure do deserve them...and so much more!

Did you finally get done with that emergency project?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Never a dull moment. I hate it when I don’t get a straight forward question. I had to read, reread, reread, and reread again. Then take the question one word at a time trying to figure out what she wanted. I thought what I already sent answered the question, but after multiple reads I think it was a symantics problem.

Hopefully I’ll get an email tomorrow that says her question is now answered. We will see. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Project finished and emailed. Hopefully I’ll get an email in the morning saying she is satisfied with my answer.
