Well, while I’d hoped this blog would always contain nothing but happy news, such is not always the case. Currently there’s a glitch with my Security Clearance, and I’ve been pulled out of the school until it gets resolved (week two of the school involves access to a building containing truly classified information, and until my clearance is fully granted, I’m not allowed access to that building). The process for adjudicating a clearance hold involves a lot of paperwork back-and-forth to Ft. Meade, Maryland, and is likely to take about three weeks to accomplish.

Ho-hum… who wants to hear about paperwork?

First day back we went on a 2.5-mile run, and it wasn’t an easy one for me… two weeks of sleeping late, not doing PT, and eating Christmas cookies have a definate effect on one’s performance. We also had to do a urinalysis, which takes a looooong time when you’re talking about the number of people in our company.

It was good to see most everybody for the brief time I was able to, and hopefully I’ll get to take leave again sometime within the next 8-9 months.

Until futher, take care.
