Transition plan in place. This is good. Your CO will miss you. I've had no less than seven calls from mine and one short recall. Technically, although on leave, I am still his until end of month. What will he do then??? 🤣

Your plan for the week sounds good. Better that your people didn't have too much notice. And good that they will experience a very different leadership style. Neither is necessarily good or bad, but there is value for them in experiencing both.

So are you looking forward to the new challenge yet? Apprehensive a bit?

So Candidate Three. I would love to know the CO's reasonings. No nonsense chain of command type? Anyway it is done. I wonder how your ex-team will handle the change in command. Probably going to be harder on them than anyone else. I hope they are enabled to be as creative and productive as you had them. Guess we will never know.

Three Days of Handover and your training requirements for your deployment. You are going to be flat out like a lizard drinking. (Aussie slang for as busy as fuck) On the bright side the Major knows where the better coffee is.

I think you will miss "the others" more than you realise....although I am sure you will keep in touch and visit if you are able.

Absolutely true. The US needs to go all in with its support of Ukraine now. Ukraine's defeat would have horrible consequences for the Western democracies, as well as your country. I'm not sure if everyone gets this. Worse, I'm not sure if everyone cares.

Best wishes on your new deployment. 🤗 💙 💛
