I have been away and now I have returned.

I have just completed my annual field training with the Rhode Island Air National Guard. We had an operational readiness exercise at the Air National Guard Combat Readiness Training Center (CRTC) at Volk Field Air National Guard Base (ANGB), Wisconsin.

I have been "off-line" and "unplugged" from all media and news for over a week - this can sometimes be a good thing.

Lots to catch up on and there will be more to come later...
